Broomhandle help needed

Saw 3 - 4 Brooms in a local gun show yesterday.

A prewar commercial with stock. Gun is in good shape 90-95% (by glimpse) and stock was revarnished (don't know matching or not). Asking $2300.

A Flatside Large Ring w/o stock. This is a relatively rare variation. I could meet 40 excellent common C96s before I see a 85% Flatside in the market place. I looked this one in my hands for a couple of minutes -- original, external number matches, bore is fair (marred). Asking $2050. Unfortunately, the bore is no good.

A Chinese Hanyang Arsenal made 1930 copy w/o stock. I don't know much about those but it's very black. Asking $1450.

There is another Mauser, but I forgot what it is. Probably a reblued Bolo.
