Iffy Oberndorfs (fake?)

There is a seller on Gunbroker.com who has put up a number of Oberndorf Mausers for sale. As of right now they have nine for sale. Although some of the rifles look somewhat correct or have correct parts for an Oberndorf sporting gun, there are other things that throw up flags and scare me off. Perhaps I'm just naive or just do not possess sufficient knowledge about the Oberndorf sporters but something doesn't smell right about these to me. So I will not be bidding (though the prices are reasonable), and figured I would share them here.

I guess the biggest flag I see is "Markings have been freshened". What is to stop a person with the proper stamping tools from just taking a military Mauser, removing the military marks and stamping them with the Oberndorf marks?

Again, perhaps I am just ignorant on the Subject and these are the deal of a lifetime. I don't know...

Here are a links for a few of the auctions to include a DOUBLE SQUARE BRIDGE for $1100 USD!
