I had a last ditch gun in perfect condition, but the mum was ground or defaced, I forget which. But I sure did not pay that kind of money for it.

Of course you paid less for your last ditch rifle if the mum was removed. The $350 price hinges on how rare an intact mum is if the rifle is in good overall condition.
There's a last ditch on gunbroker for $300 plus shipping BUT the stock has been refinished. I'd really like to find one with a rope sling but that's probably unrealistic. Another potential issue with the $350 price is whether or not the bolt matches, if it does not it is surely not worth $350. Without looking at a book, for a 60+ yr old rifle, in good overall condition, with a symbol that is most often ground off, I would think that the price is good.
Perhaps I should just be patient but I need to personally examine this rifle.
Before anyone pipes in, I know not to shoot it and I wouldn't regardless.
