A rare variation restored by "Thor", with close-up pix.

Seller insisted on $2600 and bidder insisted on $2400. For a gun in this price range, people stucking on $200 for weeks. That requires lots of patience.

Alvin,

The seller is a respected forum member. It is a rare piece restored or not. Ryan has some nice guns, and knows his stuff.

Thanks Ron!

I just noticed the gun was relisted today with $2400 reserve. It's a very rare gun, only 1000 were made. I was not the bidder in the earlier sessions, otherwise, it's a great oppertunity to own a Persian C96.

Its Rare, Its unique and if I buy another variation, Debbie will castrate Me with a dull butter knife!!Ouch!!

Really? He doesn't sound too impressed with Thor's work...

"The gun was restored by Ted "Thor" Green of Texas for what that is worth."

The problem with Mauser -- there is a variation, but it's hard (hard? actually impossible) to find one. Say Persian, original 98% BB value is $4500-$5000, expansive, but it's OK, where is it? There is no such an animal. Period. Even restored one is scarce.

I bet this Persian is not that Persian. Postwar Persian Parabellum?
