Rifles in old Tarzan movies,,,

A friend of mine was left a Double rifle by his uncle when we were around 14 yrs
old. The Kid had no interest in it and wanted to sell it. The gun was a WW2 bring
home in a large metric cartridge of around 45 cal, 11.?? X mm. German or Ausrian made. Gun wasn't fancy but in good shape. Kid wanted $100 for it and
my Dad taked me out of buying it on basis of ammo would be hard to get. I've
only had a chance at two double rifles and we're both back in 60s and both $100
didn't get to buy either. Today price would make you head spin.
 
Reminds me of the chevy dealer who had a used 64 vet with the t-top. Mint it was 1970 and my mom talked me out of spending the 1800 dollars I saved
 
Which seems strange, considering the large numbers of WWII German Mausers that Israel deployed.

I guess the Israilies used what ever they could get their hands on. Banner was under no pressure to use a 98 Mauser. Most never knew the difference anyway.
