I bought this rifle some 15 years ago--paid a LOT for it then and its easily worth 25-30 times that now. Anyway, this is my German Army Mauser Sniper rifle variant. Why is it so rare? for one--it comes with a 25 round fixed (Ansteckmagazin) as well is as mint as the photograph shows and has had EXACTLY 50 rounds fired through it since it was built in 1935. The rifle below it is an 1898 Krag Carbine wiht original leather sling. This one too--is a rare variant because it was one of those "Philippine Contract" rifles.
Behind the Mauser-is an original and in mint condition--German Army recruiting poster for Machine Gun Troops. It also comes with a postcard with the same image on it. The postcard is also mint adn is VERY rare. What's even rarer about that is that they both came together and you DO NOT--see that at all.
