I have an old rifle that I have been having the hardest time identifying and valuing. From what I have found so far, it appears to be a Dutch Mannlicher rifle. The stamp on the barrel says HEMBRUG 1919. Here are a few pictures.

I was once offered $250 for it, but I have no idea if that was too high or too low.

Here's a similar rifle from gunborker. Yours looks a little better. I'm not completely up to speed on Dutch rifles - except the Beaumont-Vitali - but I think yours would bring more than 250. Just how much I really can't say.

It should realistically bring between 250 & the 400 starter of the one shown in the link.

And welcome to the site! :welcome:

MacDonals to our site.

I had a chance to buy one of those a few years ago for about $150 but I dont think the guy knew just what it was.

Thanks for the info guys. I like the look of the rifle as well. I just wish I had the bayonet attachment, but all rest of it is all original (leather strap and all).
