Mauser AG Oberndorg 1915

Schatze
I have one of these rifles that belonged to my father. It has a scope, leather strap and wood stock.
What is the resale value of this rifle? It is in excellent condition.
I also have several other rifles, shotguns and pistols that I needed to get resale value on. Are there any decent websites out there that will tell me this information?

    It sounds sporterized if it has a scope. Unless it is an original sniper, which would be worth beaucoup bucks.

    For sporters, it depends. A post war German gunsmith quality build or excellant modern job can bring a lot of money, or it might be worth $100 if a basement hack job.

    Need pics to say for sure.

    Yes, you can get what you seek right here! You can then post them for sale on the auction side and sell them for market prices.

    Schatze,

    (edit)

    Without pics this could be a huge dollar margin in what you have. A quality build? Thousands of bucks. Basement job as jonk said, and you might have a $100-$500 dollar project.

    As you state though, it seems the rifle is complete. If it has a good oil finish on the wood without a lot of dings and the scope is clear you're at least looking at the upper end of what's been described, $500. If the name on the scope is Kollmorgan or Zeiss add a bunch more. If the glass is really clear, probably a grand. If it says Redfield, Weaver, or Leupold then probably still down in the $500 tops range. The mounts are critical to seeing how much a quality rifle like this could bring. The best way to see what we can and give you a best guess estimate is to post pictures. There's a sticky at the top of the forum to do that.

    Schatze,

    Welcome to the Gunbroker Forums!

    "What is the resale value of this rifle?"

    If I told you I had a car with Ford written on it and it had 4 tires and an engine, could you give me a resale price?

    First check to see that all of the parts have a matching serial number. On the smaller parts it will be the last couple or three digits of the original number. Mauser numbered all of the parts including the stock to the original serial number of the receiver.

    Since you have to take the barreled action out of the stock to check for serial numbers, look for the proof marks and chamber designation stamped on the barrel. There should be proof marks on the receiver also. These help clarify other information about your rifle.

    rufe-snow has posted the link to the Sticky at the top of this page for posting photographs.

    Take well lit, sharp photographs of the overall rifle both sides, details of the receiver left and right and pictures of the proof marks and any other writing found. Then we can start to try to help with this project.

    Best.

    'Mauser AG Oberndorg 1915'

    It should be Oberndorf for clarification.

    Best.
