He did. He sold his collection to Empire Arm’s Dennis Kroh in fall 2023, and I was lucky enough to snag this one last week from their most recent “New Stuff” newsletter. I was very surprised to then see it again while searching forums researching and made the connection with Bill (AKA Geladen on Gunboards).This piece was reported by Bill Ut. in 2016, he sold it?
Strange i assume he hold the large collection for decades. Maybe he is retired from Mauser collecting.
