<p>[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 5413, member: 25"]The Mauser and the Mannlicher rifles were Wehrmacht issue in WWII, some GI probably grabbed that box as a souvenir of a trip to Europe, and they have been lying around ever since, the old man probably died and no one knew what they were. The rifles were extremely high quality, and in the 60s you'd see them made into flash looking hunting rifles, and there would be plenty of rifles still around chambered for that round and still in use. New Winchester 8mm Mauser would cost about $35 for 20.</p><p><br /></p><p>Spring would probably have an exact value answer for you, I'd contact him[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
