Just got this today. It appears unissued and is in excellent condt with a minty looking bore. It was missing the bayonet but a buddy of mine had one. The rifle has serial number Serial #342 on the receiver and bolt handle, no other place and no Rundle/cartouche. The only other marks I can find is a tiny P and a tiny 4 on the front bottom of the receiver. The rifle is stoved except for etched/parked bolt and middle band. The number on the later bayonet almost matched being #24, just a backwards #42. LOL
It has all type 1 parts except a type 2 receiver and front band. The gromment on the front sight band is missing so I need to find one. I understand it was soddered on so that may be a problem trying not to damage the paint when putting it back on. Is the gromment threaded and does the screw thread into it to secure the band to the stock? Would the missing gromment affect accuracy?
Has any more information been uncovered on thses Mystery rifles?

Long story short, a box containing deactivated weapons being delivered to me burst open in the post revealing the contents and the copies of the certificates were lost. FedEx were unsure of what to do so they contacted their head office who then contacted the police who took the weapons away, I provided copies of the certificates as additionaly proof they were deactivated. The police were fine about the weapons being completely legal and harmless, however they were concerned regarding my age. I didnt actually pay for them as this would have been breaking the law so I gave my mum the money for them and she wrote the cheque, as far as I know this would not be breaking the law. As there is nothing I have ever read saying that its illegal to be under 18 and own deactivated weapons, at this moment in time the police are actually checking their own laws and are going to return tomorrow, I'm not trying to get out of the situation by making up stories and I am going to tell nothing but the truth but if theres anything else regarding deactivated weapon laws that I should know about can someone please say just so I can prepare for an impending storm?

Thanks in advance

Hi all

I’m a newbie so please be gentle

A friend of mine is in need of help and I’ve agree to help him. He has a HUGE German collection with at least 10, guaranteed genuine crusher caps and peaked caps. Some were bought in the sixties!

I’ll put a few pics on at the bottom just for you to see I’m genuine.

He wants to sell them and wanted me to sell them on ebay. I thought I could but I’ve just seen their policy on Nazi items and now had a lightbulb moment and realised that I cant. Where would you sell these types of things these days? just dealers?

many thanks in advance

Is there any way to date this by the only tag shown on it? It is a pullover type jacket.

Ok, i have the chance to buy this, It looks like the inside liner, and chin strap has been replaced, as i believe these were made out of leather.

Please let me know.

thanks
Brian

Hi - I was walking in North Devon a year ago and came upon a load of old military concrete positions + a pit full of what appeared to be bits of armour (some with riveted construction) + what looks like tank wheels partially buried in a large pit - this one of them any idea what these might be of ?

Also did anybody see the very rusty remains of the front and rear parts of a tank (Sherman ?) on a large lorry on the M5 at lunch time today - they looked as if they had just been dug up - sadly didn’t have a camera in the car….

Unbelievable!

no more to be said!

Looking for information and/or references on the WWII Kriegsmarine inspection and acceptance organization for KM weapons and ordnance.

Much information is available on the Army inspection/acceptance function (Heereswaffenamt), but very little on the Navy (Marinewaffenamt).

For example, can anyone define this KM acceptance proof on a Mauser HSc pistol, specifically the III/8?

A long time ago, when I was in preschool, my bus driver gave me this. He knew I liked this stuff. I forgot about it and now I found it. I'm not sure if it is WW2 or not. Thanks guys.
