How would I go about getting a unique mipsurp rifle appraised? For reference I'm the fag with the $300 banner Mauser.

I can already see the top hand guard is missing, and it looks like the stock has been recontoured if not completely swapped for a Sporterized one.
It's less than $300, and that's if it's a NICE sporter job.
Please post full pics anyways though.

Top handguard isn't missing they're just made like that. There's no wood between the receiver and the rear sight.

Nevermind, I'm retarded

boi

Look at the floor plate of the magazine and tell me of it has machine marks on it.

No, no. Take the plate off and flip it over. I need to see if it's stamped or milled.

You really can't, at least not officially. You can ask the experts at the k98 or gunboard forums though, and look at previous examples that sold at auction. But that's still unofficial and only going to give you a rough estimate.

What difference would it make?
>>34804018
The reason I'm asking is because a few unscrupulous companies produced lots of "fake" banner Mausers. The lack of markings on the receiver makes me think you might have one of those. There's usually a date (1934) stamped under the Mauser symbol.

Serial number starts with B58? Your's was a "rebuild" meaning they captured them, disassembled them, put all the parts into piles, and reassembled them. Yours was reassembled by Israel I believe. I'm not an expert though, just some jerk on the Internet so don't take my word for it. I don't think it's terribly valuable. 600 bucks maybe?

West German border guard?

Oh shit yeah, you're right. http://www.amoskeagauction.com/112/1635.php
Here's a similar one with a similar serial number that sold at auction for 800 dollars.
