Been lurking for a while and this is my first post. I have only collected US military rifles and just by chance found a coworker that has a Mauser he is willing to sell. He says it is from his dad who was a WWII ETO vet and he got it from him over 25 years ago. The vet has since passed and this person says the Mauser has been in his gun locker since the day it was given to him. He has never cleaned it or even looked it over. I am supposed to be able to see it this coming week.
What are the important things to check for? It could be a bring back or it could have been purchased as surplus many years ago.
Any help would be appreciated.
