Found this Mauser in a pawnshop for 400 but the markings are odd. Any info on this?

Looks like a Mauser Standardmodell carbine.
>>33317309
Yeah, Standardmodell carbine.
For $400 I would already be out the door with it.
>>33317330
Talked him down to 300 cash

BTW, "BGS" is Bundesgrenschutz, the post-WW2 West German federal police.

Check for rechamber marks and inspect the bolt/headspace. If it looks good buy that shit now!
>>33317346
Fucking score! You have a pre-WW2 rifle that stayed in Germany through the war and continued to serve after.

So how much is it realistically worth?
>>33317367
I saw a really nice one sell for like 3k at auction once. You did fucking good for $300 bucks

Bundesgrenzschutz, Federal Border Guards of the former West Germany. Pretty cool piece of history.

>So how much is it realistically worth?
Does the bolt match? If it does then $600-1000.
>>33317346
damn son, you did extremely well
>tfw fudds won't know their elbow from their arse and dismiss it because there's no swastikas all over the place for MUH NAZI WAFFLE

Lol I'm running back to get it right now
>>33317346
Good job, Anon! Enjoy the rifle.

Should add that if all the parts are still matching it's easily a $1000+ rifle.
Receiver bolt and barrel match
