I am completely unfamiliar with the Mauser family, but I had my interest piqued today. Ran into a guy with a Chileanicon Mauser, stamped as made in Berlin, with "Modelo 1895" on it. It had a little stamping before the serial that appeared to look like some kind of shield, like a police/army shield. All numbers that I could find matched, the bore was in great shape. The wood and blueing of the barrel were excellant. Everything was nice and shiny. He had it marked for $250, but wanted to let me have it for $175. Then he showed me the gun price book that everyone has except me, and it appears to be worth around 300-450 in it's current condition. Is this price worth it? He wanted cash for it, but I didn't have that on me. I got his number to go get it from him in a few days if it's a good buy.

Awaiting your esteemed thoughts oh masters of Mausers
