I remember them well. Stacks of 98K Mausers and .303 Enfields were in the department stores for $19.95. That was about the time I picked up my first Luger, a 1916 Erfurt, matched throughout including the mag and about 98% original finish........for $85. Resold and long gone. I would have done better holding on to it than playing the stock market. Bless the old German saying, "We grow so soon old, and so late smart".
