I bought this gun from an estate of a friend. Austria mauser. It has handling wear, but it is still very sound. Unfortunately the previous owner was small and shortened the stock!
Gun is marked Waffen Dschulnigg Salzburg Austria. Claw mount scope. Ivory inlays. A lot of carving, and set trigers. Interesting floor plate release. Has two safeties. The standard and a thumb safety. The scope is mounted too low to use the normal safety. Chambered for 30/06, although I don't know if this was a re-chamber. Cheek pc and slings Ebony grip cap and forend. 3-7 Pecar scope marked Berlin
Can you tell me something about it?
It is in need of some clean up. Should I just "clean it up" or is it worth proper restoration? Approximate value?
Thanks in advance. Hopefully this will give us something to talk about. I have had the gun for a bit. I enjoy this form and have been learning a lot from you guys.
Thanks
Jerry
