Another Mauser .22 with a stratospheric presale estimate, from the same auction house that listed a couple of these guns previously. This is described as a 95% gun and looks to be a very nice example. Could it be that high condition Mauser .22s are worth 8-10 times ordinary examples? I’ve seen this phenomenon before and it is usually with mass produced .22s that were so ubiquitous and abused that very few fine examples exist. An early Winchester 1890 with intact case colors v a grey and worn example, for instance.
