I just bought the cleanest unaltered 8x51 tauscher import '(horn schnabel half stock) for 3600 from cabelas about 3 months ago flipped it for 6500 to a well known collector in the northeast who knew what I paid,,,,,,cabelas would not believe me that it was a C +R that's how nice the condition was ,,, it was 2 serial numbers off the ones in speeds book ,,that being said I know this guy has seen more Mausers than any one on here and he must feel it's worth at least 7500 to 8500. Cabelas had no idea what it was ...I did not have the gun long enough to take any pics sorry. ........paul
