advice on broomhandle mauser

agreed. A factory converted broom should have a 500 meter sight.
Are there any Chinese Characters on the gun anywhere?
Thousands of Broomhandles came into the US in the late 80s and early 90s from China. These were almost all refurbished and converted to 9mm. Do the Red 9 grips look fairly new? Does the stock fit snuggly and look like it belongs with the gun? Does the leather look appropriately old?
Any tiny import marks on it anywhere?
I still have one you would swear is original but I only paid $600 for it from one of the original China importers.
What are they asking for this ri?
