06/73 Mauser

Nothing special about this one, the 6 inch 9mm 06/73 models are bring more and more on auction.

Highest price yet since I have been keeping track.

WOW!!! That is surprising to me that these Mausers bring that kind of money. This just makes me that much happier that I bought one approx. 1 year ago for way less than that. Mine was unfired.

They don't.....Just remember that internet auction sites are a crapshoot of circumstances. All it takes is two bidders with more money and ego than brains to bid an otherwise common item into the stratosphere.

I beg to differ..this configuration is not that common in this country. Out of the hundred or so that I have documented only 13 are of this type and I have been collecting the data on them for approximately 4 years. There are even less of the 4 inch models.

Hello Steve
I thought the Mauser Parabellum 9mm with the 4 Inch barrel and the Swiss style grip was the most common variety???
Am I missing something?

I bought one of these guns brand new,back in the day I haven't shot it very much.I have to wear a pair of driving gloves so the checkering doesn't hurt my silky soft hands.

Regardless, I'm trying to point out that Auctions tend to inflate prices.
Would you pay that price for an example?

My data shows that the 6 inch 29/70 is the most common followed by the 4 inch 29/70. After those two come the 06/73 6 inch followed by the 06/73 4 inch.

No, I wouldn't but I never thought that I would pay a 1000-1100 for the 7.65mm and 9mm that I do have. I got the both of them 1.5, 2.5 years ago respectively. Had been collecting the data for about a year and a half and when I started noticing that the prices were going up and just how many of the different types were available. The 6 inch 06/73 models have been selling for anywhere from 1700 to a little over 2100 recently. Now they are out of my price range. Supply and demand you know.
