Here is another that went for extreme price but to my eyes looks like a run of the mill post war 94.

I see similar condition rifles go for $600-$800. This one had multiple bidders (5) after the bids went over $1k so not the usual “two fools and one of their $ are soon parted” that can occur on a rifle auction. What am I missing?

I’m finding myself drawn more to 94s just as I see sold prices (most that is) are dropping.
