What Federer took out to sell are good looks, original parts, and several models that are relatively popular in the collection field. If he specially set aside a room for display at home, it is the best look. Of course, if there is only one, it is worth Federer to put it in the glass cabinet regardless of the look.
If there is surplus in the same model, it will be put into the basement, and then the appearance will be good or bad.
Federer opened all the boxes and put neatly placed box guns inside, and all of these can be sold.
It must be pointed out that these guns can be sold to Gao Yang. For others, Federer is not willing to sell them. Anyway, after selling seven guns, Federer feels that the money is enough for him, and there is no need to sell the remaining guns.
Federer has the largest collection of box guns from the original Mauser factory in Germany, but there are differences in production year and model. However, most of this series of c96 have several, but there are differences in product appearance.
Gao Yang wants to have a systematic collection, but there are so many kinds of box guns that he doesn't know how to collect them by categories.
Because Huaxia is the largest user of box guns, many of the box guns retained in the market flowed out of Huaxia through a variety of channels, but the most important and largest outflow was the time when Huaxia exported a large number of old guns in stock in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Almost all the models with low output and few survival in the U.S. market came from China. In Federer's collection, more than half of the guns from China accounted for. According to Federer's own words, the two years when China was able to export a large number of old guns were the most popular two years in his life.
There are many guns from China. Gao Yang simply decided to collect some guns with Chinese marks as much as possible. He picked up the guns he saw one by one and inspected them. After picking up a 20 ring m712, Gao Yang smiled at FEDERER: "Look at this one. This is a gun exported from Germany to China, but when entering China, the word made in Germany was printed in unified Chinese characters. Although all Mauser are made in Germany, in a narrow sense, only these guns are really made in Germany. The meaning of these three Chinese characters is made in Germany. I want this one."
Federer gave him a shoulder and said, "take it out, test fire later, and then dismantle the gun to see the inside. You think it's OK. We'll talk about the price."
Gao Yang put the gun aside first, and then picked up a later model m712 made in Germany. Although the appearance is not very good, Gao Yang can't put it down.
Federer looked at it and said, "this one is not good, and the accessories inside are inconsistent. Although they are old accessories, they don't belong to a gun. Choose another."
Gao Yang shook his head and said with a smile, "no, this one is meaningful. You see, there are three Chinese characters of the pistol team engraved on the grip here. There is a history in it. Do you know what it means?"
Federer took the gun in Gao Yang's hand in surprise, looked at the three Chinese characters pointed by Gao Yang, and said with a bitter smile: "I know the pistol team. The Chinese Army used all Mauser pistols together. This is the earliest special forces. I am very interested in this history, because the Chinese army has a pioneering way to use Mauser pistols, and the effect of using c96 by the Chinese pistol team is quite good. I have studied this history, but unfortunately, I don't know Chinese characters."
The three characters of the pistol team are very regular, and it depends on the model. At that time, it has reached the period of the war of resistance against Japan. Although I don't know which army this gun belongs to, it can be sure that it is used by Chinese people. Therefore, Gao Yang will not let go.
Gao Yang smiled, then sighed, pointed to the gun in Federer's hand and said, "groundbreaking use is also a way to be forced out. That history is a history of humiliation for Chinese people, but anyway, the significance of Mauser pistol to Chinese people is not too strong. Therefore, I like c96 very much, very much."
Federer, holding the gun in his hand, looked reluctant and said: "This is a historical gun. Maybe the parts inside were replaced in the hands of the people who used the gun in those years, because although the part numbers are different, the batch numbers are not far different. I think this gun was assembled with intact parts after two guns in the same batch were damaged. Moreover, this gun must have participated in many battles, and the rifling is seriously worn , this is history. "
Federer looked like he didn't want to sell. His collection was history, but after he tangled again and again, he finally bit his teeth, sent the gun in front of him, and said loudly, "it's yours! And it's easy to price this gun, 700 yuan."
Gao Yang said in surprise, "why is it so cheap?"
Federer said firmly on his face: "because the parts are not original, and the assembled gun is the price, of course, we have to follow the market price. Well, don't talk about this gun, let's continue to look."
Several rare models were selected one after another, and then Gao Yang was embarrassed to choose again. Looking at Federer's expression, Gao Yang couldn't bear it.
Gao Yang finally stood up and said, "well, I think I can meet my current collection desire with these."
Federer took a long breath and said briskly, "great, well, I mean good, take the gun and let's go out."
At this time, Cui Bo couldn't help saying, "there's another box I haven't seen."
Federer patted on the forehead and said with a smile, "Oh, I forgot that there were some guns with poor appearance. I used to disassemble parts. There were also some strange guys. Really, why didn't I think of it? But you can help me. Maybe you can answer my long-standing doubts.
Federer opened the last box, which was really mostly broken guns.
But, but, but, according to the usual routine of the novel, babies are found in rags.
Federer took out a normal looking gun from the box, then looked puzzled and shouted at him: "Look at this gun for me. It's strange. It looks like an early c96 made in Germany. The parts in this gun don't look like the process of Mauser factory, but there are inscriptions and part numbers on the gun. I'm very strange. Is this a defective product produced by Mauser factory? I don't think it should be."
When Gao Yang took the gun, he was also full of doubts. It seemed that this gun was no different from the ordinary c96. But when he looked at it carefully, he always felt a little uncomfortable. It looked good outside. It was no different from the ordinary c96. When he opened the gun, the process in the gun bore seemed a little rough, which was completely different from the standard of Mauser factory.
Gao Yang was also confused, but he soon patted his hand on his thigh and laughed, "aha, I see. This is a fake!"
Federer looked surprised and said, "you know what's going on? What does Shanzhai mean?"
Gao Yang raised his gun and said with a smile, "this is an imitation. It's not made by Mauser factory at all. However, this textile is special. It's made by Chinese Gunners by hand."
Federer exclaimed, "counterfeits made by hand?"
Gao Yang said with a smile: "at that time, the industrial level of China was very poor. The guns produced or imported by Arsenal were not enough for the army, but China was very chaotic at that time. Some rich people wanted to protect themselves, but they couldn't buy guns, or the price of guns was too high to bear. What should we do later?"
Gao Yang shook his gun and said with a smile: "At this time, the Gunners who made guns by hand came on stage. They disassembled and learned the structure of various guns, and then made guns by hand in strict accordance with the shape and internal structure of the willing products, and then sold them to the rich who wanted to protect themselves. Mauser was very popular at that time, so there were many such manual production. Some Gunners had a high level and could not distinguish the true from the false in appearance. Of course, most of them The quality of the gun maker's water is poor. In addition, because of the difference of steel, without good steel, this kind of gun can't shoot many bullets. As for this gun, it's a very rare boutique. "
Federer is a collector. He is interested in Mauser c96, but he is not a historian. He will know some things, such as the pistol team, but it must be impossible for him to understand everything in China.
Federer looked surprised and said, "it's so good. I know more about it. Thank you, Gao. This gun is really a boutique. It has achieved the effect of confusing the fake with the real. It's great. It's really a baby. I have to put it in my showcase quickly, ha ha!"
Gao Yang was a little surprised. He wanted it. As a result, Federer collected it himself. But it's right to think about it. This kind of hand imitation gun can be handed down, which is much more difficult than the genuine gun. Therefore, even if it can't be fired, it is also a high-quality product among the high-quality products.
Looking back and forth at the gun in his hand, Federer suddenly threw the gun in one fell swoop and said with a smile: "you see, decades ago, you couldn't even produce guns on a large scale, but now, your industrial products have occupied the world for only a few decades. It's incredible. I think this gun is a historical witness to the Chinese people."
Gao Yang thought Federer had changed his mind and would sell him the gun, so he nodded and said, "yes, yes, that's it."
Federer handed the gun to Li JinFang and said with a smile, "look, when I lock it up, you won't have a chance to appreciate it. Ha ha, Gao, don't think I'll give you the gun. Look at your expression. Ha ha, don't dream. I collect this gun and won't sell it!"
Gao Yang was very helpless. He could only shrug his shoulders and smile bitterly. But at this time, he saw a gun in the box, then put his hand in and took it out, and then said solemnly: "I don't want that gun, but you must sell it to me, Mr. Federer!"
