thanks guys, this helps a lot. Probably both the guns I looked at were Mausers, and I will probably just try to find the nicest condition Mauser that I can afford, enjoy shooting it (it won't see tons of rounds), and leave the investment collecting to those who know far more than I. My interest is in the unique action, the legacy of the gun, and the fun of owning (and using/shooting) something made decades before I was even born.
