I got some German Mausers for cheap. They are all matching serial numbers but sporterizing them ruined the collector value.
They have been sanded and reblued, but I can still see the marks.

a) I got a JP Sauer 1940 Mauser with Redfield sight for $165 + sales tax at a pawn shop. That has shiny grooves.

b) I got another one with the stock sight, but the bore grooves are frosty. I think I paid ~$100 off a gun show table.
