Although I was uncertain how good this deal was initially, these last "relevant" photographs proves the OP did well, - assuming the price wasn't exorbitant. All shown is is exactly how it should be, and the metal and stock are well cared for, all and all a very nice example of a Danzig/16.
 
..paid 350 each for the 98's and 275 for the Japanese last ditch.

I think most of us would agree that's a pretty good price. Was the bidding strong at all? Last one I attended in person people were out of their minds. Bidding waaay over retail for stuff.
 
Yeah historically I’ve had good luck at local auctions but the last few I’ve gone to, I walked away empty handed. People were going bonkers on their bidding.
