Once the South African gov tightened the gun laws, the value of my c1936 Mauser Oberndorff, mini K98, 0.22 rifle dropped from around R6k to a best offer from a dealer of R500. Couldn't keep it as my kids have zero interest in firearms and it would ultimately just get destroyed, so I exported it to save it.
It was sold on auction at Holts Auctioneers in London on 19 December for 210 Pounds. Guess that's the max I could get for it and I'm happy such a beautiful weapon will live on in someone's collection.
