One

These went in an auction yesterday and I thought they were of interest and sold for a reasonable cost in my estimation

I'd say! The scope with the first rifle is work 600-750 on it's own.

I know where not to send my rifles to be sold. Littlejohns has lost a bit of its luster.

Certainly on those two but there was an M1 Garand that sold for $11K followed immediately by one that sold for $12.5K.
M1 $11K
M1 12.5K
Now they were very nice and were factory/government chambered for experimental 22-06 caliber but it was a surprise to me.
There was also a French Lebel military rifle that sold for $850....it had only been dropped once.....Just kidding smile

Holy Schmidt- wonder what my Korean Conflict Springfield Armory Garand M1-D sniper set-up with 10X scope in the "side-saddle" mount would have fetched, if I had turned it over to "Big-Bad'John's auction set-up-- Apparently John operates in CA- not exactly a "gun-owner-friendly State, so I hear tell--RWTF

I was looking at them again. The fancy checkering pattern is the kind of work the early German custom makers liked to do, and the Litschert scope ought to be early, 1940s or 1940s, but they both have those tacky white spacers typical of the 1950s, and the .257 Roberts Mauser is built on WWII Nazi-marked action. So the two rifles are quite puzzling. Spectacular wood.

Actually there was a sniper M1 and I think its was a D and it went for under $4K if I remember right. I don't know how to look up finished auctions on proxybid so I am going of memory.

It used to be much easier to look up completed auctions on the Proxibid site. Seems like every time the IT guys decide to change things on various auction sites, they manage to make it less user friendly.

For a recent auction, you would need to recall the item as it was originally listed. You'd type that into the Search Bar and Enter it. Current result in upcoming auctions come up first. Then you would have to go to "Search In" on the upper left part of the page, and select "Show archived items". Then you will have to scroll down the list and find the lot you are looking for. If it is a recent auction, it shouldn't be very far down the page. But finding an auction result that took place months ago can be very tedious. If you click on one item on say page 45 of archived auctions for Mausers, when you go back to look at another, you have to go back through many pages just to get back to where you left off. If they could assign an item number to each lot, doing a direct search would be much easier.


A true sign of mental illness is any gun owner who would vote for an Anti-Gunner like Joe Biden.
