Hello, nice to meet everyone. I was referred to this forum from fellow members of the K98 page.
I just traded for an all matching "G" code, S/42. it is pretty mint save for two things, it was re blued by the G.I. who brought it back in WW2, and the bore is not 100%, still a good shooter, some decent rifleing left.
It even has one matching magazine, serial 8752 with a scrolled "d", any idea's on its rarity? Value doesn't matter to me really, I traded it for a 357 desert eagle which I did not really like that much, so I'm ahead in that game.
I took it to an appraiser who told me because of the reblueing it was only worth about $400, otherwise in its complete state and condition, would have been about $1,300.00 in his estimation. I feel all matching, inc. one magazine is worth more, what do you folks think?
