While not in my collecting wheel house, I saw a few post on social media about Mauser 71/84s used in several movies that are being sold off. Just wanted to post a link in case anyone was interested. Looks like they have two grades to choose from.

Yeah, they must have found another stash of these. They sold off many of them about 10 or 15 years ago. These were all reworked and cleaned. They took a few liberties with how they were restored, but they do have an interesting tie to a inaccurate, but entertaining movie.

The stocks they used have a funny c/W stamp.

I think their price point is a little aggressive, they were much lower the last time they hit.
 
More than a little aggressive I would say! With a reproduction stock I don’t see a lot of value here.

Yeah, considering mint, matching original ones routinely go for less than the asking price on these they are clearly trying to cash in on a 20 year old movie. Like I said, good movie, but not good enough for me to shell out that kind of cash on a prop from it.
 
I’ve seen a couple of these pop up on GunBroker over the past couple of years, all were being sold for around HALF of what OWS wants.

Yeah-- I have one and paid about $400 for it on broker--- Didn't come with the certificate, but the painted TG and repro stock are provenance enough.
