    relative collector value of three MAS 36 pre war rifles

    I have 3 MAS 36 prewar rifles:

    G Series, 8xx, all match except bayonet, stacking swivel broken off, bore is frosted but strong, metal and wood show field use, cartouche (Dec 1937) visible, stamped LK5 by butt, good shooter.

    H Series, 96xxx, all match including bayonet, stacking swivel broken off, bore is bright and strong, metal and wood finish appear original, does not look like it was used in the field, cartouche strong (May 1940), good shooter.

    Mystery Rifle, Very good condition all around, including intact stacking swivel. Never shot this one.

    Question: I'm not interested in putting a value on each rifle, what I would like to know from others is which one is the "most collectible" of the three. I am considering selling two of them, and want to make the best decision on what to keep. I would normally go by condition, which makes the H series #1. Is there something about the G series (age, LK5 stamp?) that would make that one more "collectible"?

    I have also asked this same question on another forum, but have not received any feedback.

    Opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.
