Military Surplus Rifles - Identification and Value

bk0331
I'm looking for identifications and approximate values on a few old surplus rifles for a friend. Anyone have an idea what these might be worth?

#1 - SMLE No4 Mk 1 Longbranch 1942. Good cond.

#2 - Brazilian CZ Mauser Mod 1908/34. Good cond.

#3 - Steyr-Mannlicher M95. Good cond.

#4 - Turkish Mauser, Gewehr 98. Fair cond.

#5 - Finnish Mosin-Nagant M28/30, SKY. good cond.

#6 - Unknown. Has a "1" "OE" and "WG" on receiver ring. Straight pull bolt, large bore, almost 1/2".

#7 - M91 Carcano. Fair cond.

#8 - Unknown. Has British markings. Crown over "GR" over crossed flags, over "P". Fair cond.

#9 - Unknown, possibly Turkish contract Mauser. Has small crown over "DA___IG." over "1___0." on receiver ring.

posted some photos on a web page. here is the link:

The rifles are numbered 1-9. In the first full photo number 1 is on top, then 2, 3, 4, 5. In the second full photo number 9 is on top then 8, 7, 6.

Thanks.

    It would be best to post quality photos if you can. That said, the only one of the bunch likely to be worth more then the $100/$200 range, the way things are nowadays, is the Finn. It's what is called a Civil Guard Model, and if is matching with a excellent bore and hasn't been screwed with, could have a similar value to the other 4 combined.

    The one appears to be a pre-95 mannlicher- the OEWG one I mean. If it looks like a big bore it is probably chambered in 11mm, about .43 caliber. All depends on condition but that would bring more than $200 as well, maybe $300-$400. The unknown British rifle is a Pattern 14 Enfield. .303 caliber. Those bring $300 to $400 as well.

    The Steyr M95 is a long rifle, which are worth more than the carbines. $200 to $300.

    The turk Gew. 98 will probably bring $300.

    The unknown #9 is a Gewehr 88, also known as the commission rifle. They were often supplied to turkey. $150-$250.

    The Mosin will probably bring close to $500.

    The Brazilian maybe $250.

    The SMLE $150-$200.

    The Carcano no more than $200 unless pre 1898.

    Just my take.

    I'm NOT offering to buy anything but if your freind decides to list them on the auction sight, put a heads up on the general discussion page as I'd be happy to bid on a few. [:D]

    jonk,

    thanks for the help. we are going to give these pieces a good cleaning this weekend as they are all still coated in cosmoline. once done we will take some better photos and post them for auction, with the exception of the Brazilian Model 1908 which he intends to keep. I will post on General Discussion using subject "jonk".
