Can someone tell me what the going rate for these things is? All numbers matching, a lot of blue left but still a '40 byf Mauser and it shows a good deal of wear. HAER marked (Army). No proofs ground off (all dirty birds present). Bore is excellent, muzzle looks near perfect.

Would $1000 be way too high? Seems like I recall them going for more like $600-800 depending on condition. It's for a gift and they're not hanging on trees so I don't mind paying top dollar but I don't want to get really abused.

Thanks,
Oly
