Thanks!!!!
Answer
Mitchell's Mausers = avoid. It's like going to a used car dealership that sells cars that look like new for dirt cheap. If it looks too good to be true, it is...it's a fraud.
As for the others:
1st one - Russian capture, so the markings may have been changed. Kind of kills the history of the gun.
2nd one - Nice one, but no matching #s. Probably a good shooter.
3rd one - Matching numbers, but a capture.
4th one - Not matching numbers, but probably also a good shooter.
The 4th one shows no signs of pitting on the receiver (compared to the second), so that would be my choice of the four. And if you're going to get a 98k, you might as well get one that has the original markings intact. I know you're not looking for a collector gun, but if you want a Mauser strictly to shoot and nothing else, save yourself some money and get a Yugo Mauser 24/47 for cheaper than a 98k can be purchased for...
