Persian Mauser
I have a Model 98/29 Persian Mauser Long Rifle, appears never having been fired, with a mint bayonet and frog. What would you guys think it's worth now?

They generally sell for around $600.00.

+1 gyvel, Samco is currently selling them in "Unissued" condition for $700.
https://www.samcoglobal.com/1-98-29-Persian.html Prices probably won't rise appreciably until the supply dries up.

Unissued, but with pitting where the barrel touched the crate. Also, no longer includes matching bayonet nor authentic sling. Still probably the finest milsurp Mauser available today.

If it is truly stone mint flawless, with matching bayonet, it will bring $900 to $1000 on Gunbroker every time. Maybe more now as I have not seen one in a while. But I am talking looking like it came off of the factory floor. There are quite a few of those out there as many of these guns were never issued. They surface less and less as they eventually get bought up by serious collectors. . |

Just out of curiosity, does anyone out there know where the Persian-contract guns came from, and how they wound up in the milsurp pipeline? Where they never delivered to the Persian government for some reason?

They were delivered and used. But not all. Some remained in storage from day one and were never used. They were eventually sold on the surplus market. SAMCO Global Arms obtained the largest lot of them. They were manufactured by BRNO in Czechoslovakia. A little history here -- http://www.aliparsa.com/brno/brno.html . |

Interarms brought in thousands in the 1960's - Czech-made rifles, VZ-24's and Iranian made short rifles. Iran at that time had dreams of a Middle East empire but not a big enough army so they ended up with more guns than soldiers to use them.

well, it's unissued, still has grease in the mag well. Guess I'll sell it and the bayonet for that $600.

Bayonet Frog
Quote:
I just bought a Swiss K-31 bayonet frog and put it on my Persian 98/29 Mauser bayonet. It was a perfect fit and must be very similar to the design of the original. If anyone has a pic of an original Persian 98/29 Mauser bayonet frog I would like to see it. |
