I haven't bought from Gunbroker in a long time, mainly because shit gets bid way over actual value. I don't know, maybe it's just me...

That looks like Yugo numbering on the handle, maybe a reworked 98k bolt. Its impossible to be certain from these pics to give good advice.

Yes, Sauer made and the serial is 2308w.

Have you posted photos of this rifle? That’s something that would need to be seen, serial, suffix, is it Sauer or Gustloff, can numbers etc.

I have an old funat (zeiss wetzlar)) device, it was built in the 1950s and comes very close to the zg1229. Even the range is about 100...

Welcome to the forum Paul.

Stop - this isn't a Russian capture, it doesn't look anything like a Russian capture, that is incorrect information. Its a bolt mismatch...

The problem will be 1 side will look good and the other side will look ugly.

If you contact the auction house they will take more photos for you.

Much of what happened at the manufacturers didn’t really follow protocols to the letter. For example dou, started production in 1942...

I guess men used to dress nice. Im sure proper German shooting attire for sportsmen, note the green collar and green hat band.

Doesn’t matter too much, Mauser did not assemble short side rail snipers.
