Otherwise known as how a non matching SS Mauser becomes matching and triples in price.

Somebody faking Nazi shit? Oh what a shock, I never would have thought.... Yea, this is why I would only collect this crap from the 100 year old veteran who dragged it out from under some dead SS shitbag, and then only if I had know the veteran for at least 40 years so I could judge his character. Everyone has been faking this crap since 1945, eight grand for a deaths head marking and lightning runes, I think not even if I won the super lotto....twice.

Plenty of bad rifles on there. I especially like the Hungarian Sniper that is really just a 1944 Russian in I believe a Polish made stock. Not one Hungarian part I can find. I believe that was around $3k.

It is risky to collect anything that is actually worth decent money without being a complete expert or as JYD said, buying it from the elderly veteran. I was talking to an antique store owner/ collector of everything ( I was hunting fountain pens) and he said the most vicious collectors are doll collectors! He said they are extra dangerous because they seem like sweet little old ladies! hahaha
