A local man that I previously purchased a rifle from called me and asked if I would be interested in purchasing what he described as a German Mauser model 1871 made in 1877. He said that it is in original museum quality and has un-sanded wood. It comes with a bayonet and original ammo.
My knowledge of Mausers starts about 50 years after this was made so I would be walking into uncharted territory. Are these sought after or even valuable? What are appropriate questions to ask or things to look for? This guy has nice stuff but usually demands a premium.
Thank you
