I'm a long-time Winchester collector, so I do realize how vague this question is...but what's the ball-park value for a high-condition Mauser Type A? I've had the itch for an original commercial/sporting Mauser for quite some time but I don't have a feel for a reasonable cost on these. And if the Blue Book is as bad on Mauser values as they are on Winchesters, it's a useless source too.
I'd say it depends largely on the chambering - bigger bores bringing more interest and $$$. There is a great example in 30'06 at Martini and Hagn for about $5-6K. There are others around but I would expect to pay from $3500 up for a good one.
