I should NEVER go to "that" pawnshop with my wallet! They had a decent-looking Mauser 1914 and I foolishly asked them how much they would take for it. I ended up paying $300 OTD (tax and all). It is in nice shape. The serial number indicates that it's from around 1916.
I don't know very much about them. From looking at GB completed sales it seems that I got a good but not fantastic deal. I know for sure that it works (because I shot a round out back after I got it home). There will be a range report to follow in a week or two.
Does anyone know more about these and have advice or opinions?
It has some markings that look like proof or acceptance stamps of some kind. I will add a picture of those in a few minutes. The holster came with it.
