Madsen M47 - Should you add it to your collection?

It can be interesting to have a service rifle that actually has a provenance establishing actual use.
I have two Boer Mausers, a Loewe and a DWM, both named. One has a projectile hole through the forend.
These were no doubt brought home as trophies; given that they turned up in Ontario, perhaps by soldiers who served in the RCR.
I know the names of the Boer Burghers who used these rifles. Unfortunately there seems to be no way of finding out the names of the Canadians who brought them back.

I have two of these, in mint condition, with bayonets.
The amazement factor is that the bayonets' serial numbers each match their respective accompanying rifle.
FURTHER amazing is the two rifles'/bayonets' serial numbers ARE SEQUENTIAL!
