Hello all, I am pretty new to the site but have been following along various topics for a while now and have found lots of information on things here and there within these forums. So, at the behest of a buddy of mine (who is also a member on here) I have finally joined and I have some questions, starting with a new acquisition of mine.

I have bought a Type 13 Mukden Mauser and apart from the little paragraph of information available in the "Mauser Military Rifles of the World" book, I have come up short on knowledge about these rifles. I've actually only ever seen one or two others for sale before and apart from this one, never in the flesh. So, what I have discerned is that they are pretty scarce in the US and typically bring a pretty penny if properly identified. Mine is in about 80% plus condition with all matching numbers, cleaning rod and no dust cover. Any information about possible value and further information regarding its construction and importation would be great. As I said, I have a general bit of knowledge about these in terms of their origin and purpose but always want to know more. Additionally, if there is any information regarding date of manufacture based on perhaps serial numbers, I would love to know. Thanks guys! I'll post pics later.
