Posted By: tal35 WTK: Value on 2 WW2 98k Mausers - 02/03/23
All matching, non import. One is a DOT 44 and the second is a CE43 . The CE 43 at one time was a sniper with turret mounts but they are no longer on the gun
Both are matching, non import rifles
CE43

DOT44
Off the cuff guess, I'd say around $1200 each. best place to ask is the Mauser section of the Gunboards forum.
Thats kind of what I was thinking . Thank you
The CE43 is an “earlier” war rifle - and a JP Sauer build - better finish, more care in assembly. If the numbers are truly all matched, and none are forced matched - it’s worth more.

I’d expect it bring $1800-2000 for the bare rifle to a Mauser collector, not to be confused with a gun show hustler…

If the scope base residue is original, most likely a good bit more - odds are the same Mauser collector has, or knows of a set of bases - and there are good quality reproductions.

The DOT 44 is a solid rifle, typical later war finish. I think it’s about right at $1200, again assuming everything is original.
