Model 70 safeties were interchangeable between different bolt sleeves.  So you could have a pre-war (Version 1) bolt sleeve with a Version 3 ("dogleg") safety OR the whole bolt sleeve/safety could have been replaced.  As Ben said, pictures would allow us to tell you exactly what yoou've got...

Please look at the pictures below...  First is the pre-war bolt sleeve (flat on top) that went with the original "flag" safety.

Next is the later style bolt sleeve (round on top) that was designed for use with the later style (side swing) safeties.

If you have a later style "dogleg" safety on you pre-war file, then it's been replaced.  The question is whether the bolt sleeve was also replaced.  Late M70 safeties will work with all M70 bolt sleeves, and it was common when putting a scope on a pre-war gun to change out either the safety or the bolt/sleeve combination.

Hope this helps,

Lou

I've been having trouble posting photos for awhile now for some reason, but here's the display greeting you as you walked in past check-in...

For that kind of  $$$$$$, it doesn't get sent through the more frequent method most of us are antiquated with, as was stated by Mike, the buyers was at the auction. Otherwise a private personal courier, with more than one occupant in the vehicle for obvious reasons, would be used/hired to pick up and transport the firearm, and if needed as TR, suggested a private Jet also! 

Different Strokes!

Given the juice, sales tax etc. do you insure shipping for $5M or $6M?  And what does the counter person say when you ask for $6M in insurance?
  

The buyer was at the auction. Shipping may not have been necessary.

I was there. It was two guys on the floor battling it out. I was going to ask all you guys if you wanted to go in on it with me! I figured it would beat the estimate, and even told the guy at my table it might hit 5, he laughed and then had to admit I wasn't crazy.
  

Other possibility is there were three crazy people in that room. Kevin has a great poker face but I could tell he was a bit surprised when it went past $3M. Several high-end guns beat their estimates but that one blew right past and kept going.

The sales tax alone on this one for me would have been $345,000, assuming a hammer price of $5 million plus 15% buyer’s premium.
Total = $6, 095,000 plus shipping.  I would likely pick it up given the value, however.
If I had that kind of money, it might have brought more as I really would have tried to get it.  If one is worth only a cool $1 billion, it’s only 1/2 of 1% if your net worth.  It’s the equivalent of the average person wanting to get a firearm for $2500 and having to pay $3500 for it (assuming a net worth of $500,000).
  

Well Rock Island, the seller and the state tax office all had a great day! I would guess the seller is ecstatic! 
  

Does anyone know who the seller is?  Or the buyer?

I have long maintained that sales tax should NOT be due on used items such as this as, presumably, it was collected at the point of first sale.
