I am selling a few things for a relative and this is a few of the items I have left. If interested or if you have any questions, please email me at particlerealities@yahoo.com as that is the best method to reach me.
Mauser Modelo Argentino 1891 - $300
This rifle does have quite a bit of rust, but according to the guys at Cabela's - it's in relatively good condition. As far as I can tell, all serial numbers match. As was typical with these rifles, the crest has been removed from the top of the receiver. The caliber (I believe) is 7.65 Argentine (7.65x53mm Mauser), and is similar to the .308 Winchester in performance.

Barber & Lefever Black Powder Shotgun - $250 - SOLD!
According to the gun library guys at Cabela's, this shotgun is most likely a 10 gauge and was very likely a high-grade shotgun as indicated by the intricate engraving and checkered wood stock. The metal unfortunately has a significant amount of rust and old lubricant. The wood stock also has cracked in two, and was repaired with a pair of brass straps - the owner probably continued to shoot it this way as it was seen as more of a tool than a collector's item, though it's obviously not recommended to be fired in its current condition. In restored condition, the Cabela's guys said it would probably be worth several thousand dollars, though it will take a significant amount of money to get there.

.36 Caliber Black Powder Revolver - $150
Navy Arms Co Ridgefield NJ Italy .36 caliber reproduction black powder revolver. It's my understanding this shoots fine, but I can't verify as I've never shot black powder and don't know how this revolver operates. I would prefer local pick up so the buyer can personally inspect the condition if desired, but will ship if necessary for an additional cost.
