There was one at the gunshow this weekend, think that the owner was on Crack or he thought that there was a Millionaire there that needed one to finish his collection....
g 33/40
I have one of these I bought at a good price for deer hunting in 1986. The 8mm mouser is tough on the deer population. What is the value on one of these with everything matching serial numbers. I think the stock was cut in the forearm area and the steel but plate is gon, replaced by a rubber one.Thanks,

Cap'n, I don't know these when I see them, but saw a German carbine that had a steel wraparound just above the buttplate at the show, was quoted $2,300 IIRC. Figured that was $2,100 over my limit.
That what a G33/40 is?SlimTim

Would they be the whole s/n or just a couple of digits? Would they be stamped the way the barrel runs or across the channel?
I appreciate your help as I am trying to figure mine out.
The whole serial. Please post photos to take the mystery out of this discussion.

There was one at last weekend's show also. I talked to the guy about it and looked it over carefully. It was in a 33/40 stock but when I looked at it carefully with the jewelers loupe you could see faint VZ-24 markings. I brought it to the guy's attention and he said that he had bought it from an old guy that had owned it for years. Must have been faked up years ago then...

Yea Tim that was it. Watch out for that guy and the old guy with all the Mausers that had the rare M-39 Finn sniper made in the '50's awhile back. He had a rare VZ-23 that was a gunsmith special. It looked pretty good till you got it out in the daylight. Then you could see where it had been cut down and re-blued.
