Video - Yugoslavian M24/47 8mm Mauser Most - Low Serial Number - Good to Excellent Condition

Speaker 1:
Hey, everybody. Bill with Classic Firearms here. Today is Wednesday, May the 24th, and we've got something very unique and unusual for you today. We have a small group of Yugoslavian M2447 eight millimeter Mausers, bolt action rifles, five-round, bolt action, eight millimeter. What makes these unique, or at least the first 13 that are going to be on the table here, is that all of these have a serial number sequence that falls under 100. Mostly, you're going to see some single and double digit serial numbers, and that's the original serial numbers, in this group of guns. We originally had about 40 of these, if I'm not mistaken. We sold the first portion of this lot, the larger portion of the lot, in a video early in the year, and frankly had intended to come back and pick up these and sell out the remainder, and I'd forgotten that they were here. We were doing a little bit of summer clean up, we found this small group of rifles. It's the remaining 13, there are no more after that, so we thought we would bring them today. Now, Matt's running the camera for us. Matt, we don't typically do this, but I printed out the serial number list from our bound book. Come in and let's just scroll. This is the serial number portion of the list. You can see you have D1, D3, E15, E3, etc., etc. That's the numbers you're going to be looking on here. Actually, when it has the letter in front, I think the importer had to make them a unique number by stamping the letter that's in front. Let's see if we can find an example here. This particular stock has been renumbered, and struck to three, to match the serial number. They're very faint. Will the camera pick up that serial number, the three there, and the renumber to the D3? I do. All right. So that's what we're looking at, folks. Very unusual to have serial numbers with their very low digits like that. Let me lay this aside. Even more importantly, is the condition that you're going to find these in. The majority of these are under the V code, which is very good. So that's going to be our baseline price on them, is for the V code. V codes are at $419.99, that's going to be this group here. Let me show you an example of a V code, good wood. Certainly, some dents, some dings, because they are surplus, but all of them will have the Yugo crest. As far as the wood's concerned, most of this wood is very nice. It's walnut. I see some of the grain, and the knurling in the walnut wood here. All of them have their site hoods. It's a very nice group of rifles. Let me look. All of them have their cleaning rods, regardless of the condition. At any rate, that's the very goods. The majority of them are very good, those were $419. There's going to be a $30 upgrade for the three excellents that we have on the table. Here's an example of the excellent. That's our warehouse manager, Ernie, that you hear in the background there, folks. Once a marine, never stop shouting. That's right. He's either unaware that we're doing a video, or he don't care that we're doing a video. It could be either, depending on his mood. In the interest of full disclosure, some of these are bent bolt, like this one is. Some are straight bolt. That's going to be a random draw. We have three of the excellents, like you just saw. They're a $30 upgrade under the custom options, at $449. We have the B codes, which are here. Then we have two, down here on the end. This one is number Z5, see the Z5 on the tag, so it's actually going to have a serial number of 5, preceded by that stamped in Z to make it unique. Did that pick up, Matt? Mm-hmm (affirmative). These are under the GC code. Two of these actually did have a cracked stock, one is cracked a little bit more prominently than the other. These are going to be marked down, minus $70 for the crack in the stock and the overall condition, to $349.99. Let me show you this crack. This one is more prominent than the other one. That is a substantial crack there, but certainly very repairable. The other one under the GC code, and these are luck of the draw, folks, but I've looked all over this rifle, good looking rifle, good looking crest. The only crack I can find is there's something here on the bottom that's a little bit linear. I don't think that's a crack, I think it's a scratch, but I think maybe that's what they were talking about. At any rate, if it is there, should be minor and very repairable. That covers all our ones with the low serial numbers. In addition to that, we had three standard M2447s left in the warehouse. These will be under the custom option, as just standard serial number guns. In other words, they've got a six or seven digit standard serial number. We're doing the standard grade, which I have two of, at $299 ... same crest, same nice looking rifle. Again, under the GC code, so good, expect a small somewhere in the stock. Then we have one V code, which is kind of like a hand select on that. This will be $20 more. You can find these under the keyword Yugo, Yugo 2447. They are going to live, on the site, when this email breaks. So, if you've gotten your email, get to the site if you want a chance at one of these really high quality, and really unique, because of the low serial number, M2447s. Folks, we appreciate your business. Nice group of rifles today, don't miss them. And, as always, thanks for being with us at classicfirearms.com.
