Indeed, but seven years later you could fill up the back seat of the car with them for $100 and change. Gary, can you explain?

I think Gary may be referring to the great recession.

Brent, They are really referring to the great Depression. You didn't sleep through it, you weren't even a gleam in your old man's eye in 1929. To find out about it, you would have to ask your grand daddy. Mike

Well, that's good news. I'd hate to think that I missed out. Indeed, I didn't as pretty much all the firearms on both sides of the family, plus others came down to me. Albeit, they weren't big accumulators, much less collectors.

Seven years after 1923= 1930, when the bottom had dropped out of the economy and previously well off guys were selling their stuff at pennies on the dollar to survive.

Hmmm okay, 2 points, first the $6500 inflation estimate already would have accounted for the depression decline of values, in other words if no depression the $6500 might be more like $8000 today But second, and more important, filling the back seat may have been problematic since I doubt they ever made enough to do so. LOL

The metal Work on this Mauser looks very similar to work done on my .400 Whelen Springfield Barrel by James V. Howe.
