£1695 is what it is still listed at on their website.

Ah thanks for the link, it was the G33/40 sharpshooter fitted with a ZF41 scope that was sold.

I thought the G33/40s with ZF41s were fantasy guns?

I think the originally of any WW2 Mauser/scope combos need to be taken with a very large pinch of salt, unless provenance can be proved, virtually never in a WW2 Mauser's case!

Much like "original" Russian M44 Mosin "tower sniper rifles" that have had a PU slapped on them.

Well you live and learn,

but the dealer seemed to think it was real and sold as such....

& one dealer thinks the M44 Mosin tower sniper rifles are real once he's built them.....

And flogged them for 3x what an M44 usually sells for!

That was my understanding as well, no scoped example thus far has ever been authenticated as genuine as far as I'm aware......

I have just purchased a 1915 vintage Remington built Berthier 1907-15 rifle, that is in mint, all original, unfired condition.

It was part of the contract for 200,000 rifles that the French placed with Remington in 1915 but was never delivered.

I haven't had time to take photos but, you can view the rifle on www.cgfirearms.co.uk.

I have been after one of these rifles for several years and it was certainly worth the wait.

Quite recent,here is a truly battered Gew 88 commission rifle unconverted J bore (also en bloc mag) 1894 Steyr, all for £50.
It may be a one of classic cases of someone down the years who wanted to play cricket, forgot the mallet, and decided to use the gun stock to bang the stumps in ?
