I have a few questions regarding the Broomhandle and Oyster Bay. Luger Doc filled me in on some of the details. As I understand, Oyster Bay reworked the Chineese Broomhandles and converted them all over to 9mm. Were these Broomhandles made by Mauser or just Chineese copies? Are they worth anything or junk? If one were to run across one, would it be safe and shootable? Naturally, that's after it has been checked out. These may seem like dumb questions, but where does the beginner start. I picked up a Bolo at a gun show here in TN last year for a very reasonable price. The OLD GIRL was pretty abused and needed some TLC. Luger Doc had the parts I needed, and it is now on its way to be re-bored. Like the Luger, it's a pretty fascinating weapon.
Thanks

Oyster Bay marked guns that I've met having Mauser parts. In my opinion, Oyster Bay is definitely not collectable, but be honest, they are easier to come and easier to go, because of its 3-digit price tag. If collecting many Mausers, a collection having many Oyster Bays inside will be very unique, but if buying only one for playing a little bit, I would think that's an option.
