Upfront: I don't know a lot about these rifles. The one pictured below kinda just fell into my possession & I really don't have any interest in keeping it. I'm looking for a fair market value before listing it & any help is greatly appreciated. If you need more pictures please ask.
Thanks for your time & help.
About 40 pictures will be posted.

Rifle is an ex Spanish Civil War piece denoted by the MP8 cartouche on the wood and high polished blue finish.

I haven’t seen one sell lately but I recall them pulling 600ish a few years ago.

Thanks for that info. Maybe I'll ask around $775 with the bayonet plus shipping.

bayonet itself is a S98/05nA but i assume it was converted from aA to nA as there is Erfurt Armory, should be looked to spine of blade for proofs, when 14/15 so its already S98/05nA, the frog is a WW2 period frog Franz Brehme / Walsrode 1940? most real there.
