Several years ago I purchased a box full of militaria and these were included. I was hoping someone could let me know if there’s a market for them and a fair evaluation...fair to a potential buyer and to me. According to a website I was able to date them according to serial number. The older of the 2 has several markings, 3 eagle heads, 1 flaming bomb and a star inside a star. The other has a flaming bomb and a 5 pointed star on the of the receiver (near the US). The older looks blued and the other Parkerized. As you can probably tell from the post, I know nothing about these, so any help is much appreciated. Thank you.

Those have been prepped for sporter conversion. ie. the rear sight ears have been ground off so they could be drilled and tapped for scope bases.
Since they are not Eddystones they would make a good basis for belted magnums like 375 H&H
