Info needed on a Mauser broomhandle

[clarkmilitaria]

Hello,

I have an opportunity to buy the broomhandle pictued here for $750, can anyone tell me about it? I have never looked into these in detail, but I believe I have read that there can be commercial models as well as military, and that there were some made in different countries. The seller thinks that this one pictured is Chinese, which I have read can also have copied Mauser markings...very confusing, to me at least with limited knowledge. Sight is graduated to 1000, all serial numbers I see match (663919). A little pitting, don't know the bore condition. Any info is greatly appreciated, especially regarding average market values for a gun in similar condition.

Thanks,
Jim
