1916 Erfurt KAR.98a
Hi All my first post here so please, bear with me.
A friend has an original and completely unmodified 1916 Erfurt Carbine. I have been reading here that these are rare, this hasnt been touched or modified and has a very clean and shiny bore. It even has the stacking hook and one of the nicest figured stocks with striping from the butt to the top barrel band.
The metal shows signs of wear consistent with its age, so too the wood work with slight marks and scratches (dings). I may have a chance to purchase this, I have shot it at 50-100 meters with factory (Federal) soft points and it is very accurate indeed, more so than my Steyr BNZ 44. My question is what are they worth in an open market??
I cannot over emphasize the condition of the bore, it is spotless, pictures to follow soon.
