I have been presented with the opportunity to purchase a Mauser, made in Belgium. Marked Kurt Jaeger, Mainz. Hand inlaid, engraved, checkered. .270 #363976 with Zeiss scope. I have contacted Mr. Apel and he replied back to me with the following:
The rifle is one of the most ornate rifles made by Kurt Jaeger in Mainz. The engraving was done by either Emil Willig or Claus Willig his son. I am sending a few photos to Claus Willig for identification. He may also know who made or at least carved the stock and did the inlays. The mount came from Paul Jaeger, Kurt Jaeger's brother. The rifle catered to the taste of the American service men who were stationed in Germany and wanted something very German. Stock carving and inlays were not the taste of many German gun owners. I will get back to you after I hear from Claus Willig.

How do you put a valuation on such a rifle?
