The model 1900 that I just bought has the original Vienna style bases and I happen to have a spare set of rings. Might need some hand touch up but hopefully will work. I do have to find a period German scope as the rings were taken off the scope when I bought them.
Video gaming has greatly affected the market for those as well as for early 20th Century military arms, WW1 and WW2 accoutrement.
What was once a 'funny foreign thing' or simply an obsolete optic is now marketed as an "original WW1 or WW2 period Mauser sniper scope" with greatly inflated prices, often exceeding $1,000 USD.
'BTW':
Congrats on the M1900! Is there an M1924 Sequoia in the forecast?
