Appreciate the responses. I've opted to give him 800 Cash and hold on to the Garandicon. I am a pretty avid collector and I personally still see a desirability in mismatched K98s. (Especially if it is just the bolt) I still believe that if this K98icon were completely matching it would sell for easily $1500-2000. I couldn't see how a mismatched bolt could justify making it worth half but here we are. Of the several collectors I have befriended locally, most agree with my decision to get it. I am confident that the K98 will be worth significantly more then the Garand in possibly even a year. In my opinion, by keeping the Garand, I am both allowing myself to find better deals for the Garand currently, and investing in the future by purchasing the K98, even at what could see full price now. Plus I think they are a good pair.
