First, let me say I am still astonished that the last Israeli Mauser I posted about ended up selling for $1,225.00, double my estimate. Long story short, don't put much stock in my estimates!
Today Gunbroker.com has 2 more listings. The first only has an hour left of bidding, asking price of $399 for a Belgian with the IDF crest that to me looks a little beat up. Personally I would not pay more than $300-$325.
9/23/12 Looks like it eventually sold for $329.

The second has an asking price of $499. It is advertised as a Sauer & Sohn German receiver, and what I LOVE about is the photo revealing both a Star of David and a scratched out Nazi eagle still slightly visible. A big middle finger to Hitler! Sorry, notwithstanding the amazing price the other Belgian went for, I think the German captures with markings like this are more valuable, all else equal, and I think this one ought to go for $800 give or take.
9/13/12 Sold for $451 after being re-listed. Again I'm quite surprised but mazal tov to the buyer!
It seems to me that this seller left his auctions open for only a very short time, and re-listed several times. I don't understand that strategy, as opposed to say leaving the listing open for a week or 10 days.

Again I have no connection to the auction and as always, buyer beware!
