    I agree. I post pics even with $50 items. Spend a few minutes writing a solid description and add a few pics, and you'll only get serious buyers, not picture collectors. If it's worth your while for a $50 item, it's worthwhile for a $925 item!

    As for the warning about "tire-kickers", all it does is let you know he's got an attitude and drives away potential buyers.

    Then again I just sent pics to someone, and asked if he was looking for something specific.

    His reply was that they were really nice, he'd like to have the piece, but he didn't have any money!

    Maybe spurious requests for pics are more prevalent than we think.

    Might as well post pics in the first place then, avoid having to respond to tire kickers all together.

    Excellent....

    If it's all correct and matches the MKLicon entry shown above, then you will have a very nice addition to your collection.

    Post some pics here so we can help with your pre-inspection analysis.

    BTW, there's also another one being offered for sale in the Quartermaster Stores for $1100.00.

    Im hopeing for the best.

    Ive had a 41 dated port before, so i know what to look for, and this wont be my first all matching mauser.

    and on the plus side, it comes with a correct sling, which in itself is a hard to come by item now a days.
