Those people killed a lot of other people with those rifles in WW1
So, is that a Gewahr 88?? I've never seen one before.
It was your mention of 'Mauser' that got me into this thread. I used to have a K98 that I bought in the 70s for $15. I stupidly sold it at a tidy 25% profit in the 80s, and have regretted it ever since. It was a tack driver!
Hello,
I've not posted this before here, but I did on several other sites when I was trying to figure out what it was!
Turns out it's a $400 rifle. They're usually missing cleaning rods and are in terrible shape. Even had this one been a wall hanger, it would have been worth $200.
Made in 1892 and still precise. I'm happy!
Regards,
Josh
