What place is that? Ive been trying to find an earlier one that couldve been used in the war but im finding that a lot of them are later 1918s. They mustve made a ton of those rifles in that short period. Im still looking tho. Was thinkin about getting a serbian mauser too.The gun auction I go to usually has a 1917 or two. They normally go for around $800. And you get to hold and examine the weapon before bidding starts.
