    Hi Doug,
    How do I post new images (if possible) of the O. Geyger Mauser to my original thread?
    Cheers; Mal

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    A few more pictures...

    Hi All,
    A few more pictures of the O. Geyger Mauser. I've removed the front section of timber to make the carbine a half stocked sporter. Notice engraving not usually evident until timber is removed & sling can be atteched to eyelet fitting.
    The last picture gives an idea on the size with comparison between some of my other Mausers...Top to Bottom;
    D.W.M., Plezier Mauser Boer War rifle.
    Gustloff-Werke, K98icon WW2 short rifle.
    Aug Wolf, Stutzen sporting short rifle
    O.Geyger, Stutzen carbine??
    Ludwig Loewe, Boer War carbine.
    Cheers; Mal

    O. Geyger hunting rifle (Stutzen)

    Thansks for the pics. The engraved abbreviations show the proof load:

    2.5 grams Gewehr Blättchen Pulver (rifle flake powder)
    -----
    Stahlmantel Geschoss (steel-jacketed bullet)

    That is indeed a very fine Stutzen rifle you have there, with an unusual design feature (the divided fore-end). Congratulations on a great find!

    Patrick

    Hi All,
    How do we estimate the value of a rifle with documented history/provenance?
    ....Possibly only proven by listing via auction to find approximate value & how much some people are prepared to pay?

    Cheers; Mal

    There is no "absolute" or calculable value. Sell it at auction and find out. Then you have the answer, and the money, but no rifle.

    I would keep the rifle!

    Hi Patrick,
    I'll take the gun over the cash any day! I'll hand this Mauser down to my boys when I kick the bucket...they will probably fight over it ( & the other 150+guns), then sell it!
    Cheers; Mal

    A decision-making aid

    Good lad!

    One way to make such decisions is to place the rifle on the table. Next to it, place those bits of paper you might be abe to get in exchange.

    Then ask yourself "Which of these two options will I never be able to obtain again?"

    Decision made.

    Patrick

    Thanks for the comments & I'm only a new member myself. Will have to check out the Translate feature after asking real nice for my wife to find it for me as I'm not the brightest spark when it comes to computers!
