Okay.... newby to the forum here. Have I just been lucky to find 1941 and earlier 100% matching rifles for under $1,000 this year or are these prices I see at the Louisville Show of Shows from $2,000-$4,000 for similar rifles accurate? I am a condition collector and the rifles I have found are comparable to the ones I am talking about.
 
$1000 for rifles like the one you describe is far below market value. If I saw one of those rifles marketed publicly for the price, I would be suspicious.


As always, the value of any gun is impossible to know without clear and detailed photos showing all the bits.
 
Your question is a little like asking the average price of a car. There are quite a few variables at play in the average price of a matching, original condition Kar.98k. So long as you are talking about a non-sniper, prices start at about $800-900 and top out somewhere around ten times that amount. Other than the set variables I specified (matching and original condition) scarcity and condition are key. These days, average prices for more or less average rifles are likely in the $1,500-2,000 range (for a matching rifle in very good or better condition which hasn't been altered).

Condition is every thing when it comes to value K98k rifles as well as number of production in code. I myself love the AX-41 codes but they are hard to find in good condition with less then 90,000 produced. The same can be said for the 337 codes, 1939 660 code, etc. To me all depends on the collector on what their willing to pay for. Some K98k pieces can be so rare and so few made that someone can almost name their own price.

Thanks guys....I'll post a few pics later today or tomorrow.
 
Here is a recent acquisition. A 660 1940 Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG, Steyr 100% matching, including floor plate screws. The sling is reproduction. The bore is as pristine as the rifle. thumb_P1000086_1024.jpgthumb_P1000081_1024.jpgthumb_P1000082_1024.jpgthumb_P1000083_1024.jpg
