If you have documentation on the bring back for the Mauser, be sure to note that. It adds value for collectors. Yes, look to Gunbroker. Go to their Advanced search function and hit Completed Auctions. You will find actual sale prices. If you just look at postings, you will see a lot of optimists. Shipping: the long gun can be shipped by the owner via USPS. Google it to see the rules. Some dealers will not accept a shipment from a non-FFL, but I think most will. Mine does, and the last time I shipped a rifle I had no problem with acceptance. Only FFL can ship handguns USPS. However, since UPS and FedEx charge high rates for firearms, it's probably worth paying a FFL a few bucks to ship USPS. FFL fee + his cost (fixed rate priority mail box) will be cheaper.
FWIW, I just bought a pretty nice 1910 Mauser on GB for $416, but it had no provenance.
