I realize it's always difficult in an auction, it's often a matter of luck.
Not too far from where I live there a couple of (smallish) gunshops that qute often have in stock old service guns for sale, so sometimes especially on Saturdays I like paying a call.

No problem. You suggested Persian Mauser, and I found two mint guns to bid in merely 2 weeks, that implies they are very available.

I bid $1075 on this GB one. I think it should come. Only 1 minute left, I am watching it No bayonet, so it's $600 cheaper than the previous missed one.

Here is the recent US market price of 8mm Persian Mauser:

-- mint gun without bayonet, $1075
-- mint gun with matching bayonet, $1770
-- mint pair consecutively numbered, no bayonet, $2700+

This one is too nice to shoot. I have a Persian Mauser pistol in VG shape. This rifle can sit next to that pistol, they carry same crest.
