@OP. Another vote to ask your son. You never know what might interest him.

My son is an AR / 870 / 1911 kinda guy. Has nothing of his own that is wood/blue. However, last year when I mentioned that I was selling rifles to cover medical bills, his first question was "What about the old left handed Mauser?" So... the LH PO Ackley 7x57 became his 29th birthday / E6 promotion present. Along with a copy of the Frank DeHaas book to provide provenance regarding the LH Ackley Mausers. I lucked out. He is PCS'ing to a new assignment and chose not to take it with him. I get to tinker and hunt with it a while longer...
