Cant say I'm exactly surprised.
The Grey Blanket just pulled this one off. jhv 42 G98/40 "All matching except the bands at bayonet lug" I'm willing to bet the fore stock is also mismatched and that the gun is a sporter rescue if you notice the difference in coloring between the buttstock and fore stock.
As per usual for his auctions two guys got into a pissing match in the last hour driving this rifle to $1,425, with the win going to the guy with only 3!!! feedback.
For reference I bought my G98/40 a couple weeks ago, bolt mismatch and floor plate mismatch but otherwise the rest is 100% matching and honest and I only paid $650 winning bid for mine.
