Mis matched bolts

[sdh1911]

I have a few guns in my collection that have mis-matched bolts, a Chilean Mauser (DWM), a couple of Russian re-builds, and a Swed M38 type 1 Waffinenfabrik. How much impact doe's this have on the value of these arms? SDH

Collectors like matching numbers, so a m/m can reduce value a bit. But some rifles are correct m/m, like the RC Mausers. The rifles were rebuilt with little attention to keeping the parts for one rifle together. Spanish Mausers actually used in the Civil War will be mismatched, because the rifles had been stored separated from the bolts in 1936. The rebuilt 5 1/2" reissued Colt single actions will be m/m because of the way the rebuild was done.
