My father may have asked about this rifle a while back but I can not find it so here it goes again. We have found a rifle for sale and it is a 98 mauser action 30/06. It is marked R.F. Sedgley.Now I am aware of Sedgley and his love for the 1903 Springfield,But I have not been able to find anything on a Mauser. The rifle has his trademark Lyman peep but it also has double set triggers a european style floorplate release and A horn forend and grip cap.It is in excellent shape I would give it a 95 to 97%. Any sugesstions on a fair value or history would be real handy. Thanks

  Hello SEDGLEY was one of the custom builders I think located in PHIL.PA. he did work on many kinds of rifles and even made 22 conversion unit for 22 in a COLT 1911 quote:"PRAISE THE HARDBALL GUN"

  According to my references, Sedgley was in business in Philadelphia as early as 1912. He made Flare Pistols, Baby Hammerless Revolvers and customized many military rifles, primarily Krags & Springfields.
  
  As many of his rifles were custom order pieces it would be quite difficult to place a value on one, with out a hands-on inspection by knowledgeable dealer or collector.
