  I purchased one. I purchased the high priced one in hopes of getting a good one.
  
  The bore looks good, will most likely be an accurate shooter.
  The finish is good, almost all is there.
  The waffenampts (swastikas and whatnot) are all there. all the markings are still intact. The gun looks good, feels good and the action is still smooth and crisp. The gun doesnt even really look used all that much. Mine is dated 1941.
  
  Bad things. Front site hood, larger action screws, sling and cleaning rod will need to be purchased by you, they do not come with this.
  
  You could still shoot the gun without them of course, but I bought them for the sake of completion.
  
  The only really thing that is bad about all this is the stock. It has hardly any dings at all, is in good shape...but the color is UGLY. OMG its horrid. The stocks in the pictures are dark reddish/brownish kinda color with tree ring marks. Mine is an ugly dark brown/purplish color. Its disgusting seriously. Im trying to find a place that hes replacement stocks. Mine isnt even laminated, its hardwood and its really ugly.

  Thanks, sounds like it's worth the 2 bills then.
