Understood.
For me though, its as much about that sense of history as well.
My Kar98k was made in late spring 1940, around the time of Dunkirk evacuation, and was first issued to the Kriegsmarine and went to Norway with the German Navy where it stayed until end of the war, after which it was issued to the Royal Norwegian Navy post war. Its a bolt and butt plate miss-match, everything else is original and matching down to the cleaning rod and capture screws and has an original issue sling as well.
The original German sights are poor for my now aging eyesight though, but I have shot it at 600yrds distance with half decent results.
