[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 7521993, member: 84"]I found this at a yard sale this morning. I saw it yesterday on Craigslist, called the lady & agreed to zelle her $150 & she agreed to hold it in her car (sale was at her friend's house) for me - but I arrived at 6am for a 7am sale to be first to see what else she had! (I also bought a wwII german helmet, a pair of wwII field glasses with a Surgeon A.C. Morson etched on them (she also had some surgery tools with the same name but I passed on them) & a bag of 1960s baseball cards). She told me these were all her ex's collection of things & he was a big wwII collector (she had 2 other helmets + some medals, pins, etc) that she was selling so she could get her garage back. She told me he had told her the rifle was a wwii Mauser even though it has a Vietnam '64 - '65 plaque? Is it a Mauser? From WWII? Are they rare? (it aso has a name - KIM? - etched on stock) Any thoughts or information would be appreciated - for $150 even if it's something regular or not special I think it's worth more because it would be a cool piece to hang in any mancave! Thanks for any help!
