Needing gun advice for a friend.

[OkieMoe]

And since all of my money is feeding the family inherited farm that has sat idle for over ten years. I can’t buy his stuff and sit on it. You guys know all about weapons. I know all about wheels. So I try to stay in my lane.

First is he has a mountain Mauser 33/40. That has an obvious restock. But looks really clean. He inherited these and wants to thin the herd.

He’s wanting to sell a few long guns and has no idea of what the range is. And I don’t want to lead him in the wrong direction. Or take advantage of him.

Appears to be a nice milsurp sporterized big ring '98 Mauser.
My Mauser book is missing in action so can't ID country of origin.
What caliber, 7 or 8mm?

It has the swastika being held by an eagle wouldnt that be Nazi Germany made?

 

[Kid Glock]

Yes, and date on receiver would be about right. I must've missed seeing that. Probably 8x57mm caliber.
ETA:
I see it now, kinda low on left side of receiver ring.

Is this the same thing or were there other 33/40 mausers?
Seems my google only turns up 1940 1941 and 1942 then no more made.

There is a military collectible show, I believe the weekend of June 29th down in Chickasha. Might be worth your while to take it down there.

Beautiful rifle, unfortunately it has been sporterized so any of the collectability has gone out the window since it is no longer “complete”. As far as price goes, honestly that’s anyone’s guess and it’s worth is whatever someone is willing to pay.

I recently sold one really similiar for 550. That’s after backing the price down. Any collector would want one intact and without that rear sight.
