I'm trying to clear out some things from my gunroom in order to fund some upcoming purchases. The following prices do NOT include shipping/insurance but I can ship from Norfolk. Local in Hampton Roads, I'm a C&R licensee and can transfer to your C&R or meet at an 01 FFL.

1. $1200 - Type 02/45 - The bluing on this last ditch is gorgeous, the Type 35 action is smooth, and the wooden stock is warped and twisted and roughly carved -- just like you love to see on these rare last ditch platforms.
In the typical 02/45 fashion of “anything goes,” it has a screwed in barrel band that many trainers used and a what I think is a varnished stock (could be original on the training stock or could be Bubba, impossible to say).
It has a repaired wrist crack (glued and sanded), a sanded handguard that's been fitted to slip under the barrel band, and it’s missing the extractor.

2. $600 - Unconverted Siamese Mauser (Type 45) in 8×50mmR Siamese - Honest example with some worn bluing, standard handguuard crack and missing cleaning rod. It’s rare to find the unconverted caliber version, and the beautiful Thai script running along the rear site is nice.

3. $300 - 70/87/15 Vetterli with bayonet - this is a good basic example, NOT an RTI example. Has a nice cartouche, and I’m not seeing any missing parts. It has some dings and scrapes; there's a long scratch that might look like a crack in photos but is definitely just a scratch.
The cleaning rod is cut - prior owner told me he was disassembling it and couldn’t remove the rod so he cut it.
Sometimes when you close the bolt, there's occassionally a click and I'm betting the firing pin is releasing. I never planned to fire it, so I didn't care to disassemble it.
The bayonet is the long bayo that’s been properly cut down for the WWI vetterlis. I haven’t tried to kroil it or anything but the release button has some rust and isn’t moving, so it won’t properly mount the gun without work.
