Wanabebwana, you write that this is specially valuable rifle for collector. It's true when talking about USA and Canada but in Europe those BRNO´s are not so rare. If you go and look german eGun, you could see them for sale now and then, thou not so often without scope and mounts. Prices are not so high, approximately some hundred euros. This rifle seems to be in very good condition so let's hope the owner will handle it with care but as I wrote before, it's not so easy to say NO for scoping that rifle in India where well made "to go" -rifles are no so common as in Europe and USA/Canada. In India, if you are a lucky quy, you could find much more rare rifles like old, pre-WWII made Rigbys etc. famous british makers treasures.
