I know the info I provided was very little. Not enough to really make any realistic price predictions.
As it turns out the story has changed a little.
I talked to my father who's friend had the gun in his possession.
Apparently his wifes uncle took the gun off a dead German soldier during WWII.
So it can not be in the original box and paper wrapping. I'm guessing the box and oil paper were purchased either in Europe before sending the gun home or here in the States.
I guess there is also a very high probability that the gun has been fired.
I was also told that all the numbers match but I have no way of knowing for sure until I see it.
My concern is the condition after sitting so many years. The family has no interest in it so I hope it does come my way. I can only wait for a decision to be made. Hopefully it will be in my favor.
If I do acquire it I will post photos.
Thanks,
GB
