Usually not this into handguns, but by pure accident stumbled on this one. I'm not sure the seller realized at all the magazines were matching, I think he didn't, because he initially offered me to buy it without holster and spare mag, but I said I'd take the whole set, despite the holster has...

Recently visited a local gun store which is fully focused on hunting rifles, with some sporting rifles too. Usually when there checking through the stuff they put aside for not knowing anything on it, not having the time to sell, or stuff to scrap. Well, this time among the stuff planned to...

I recently had obtained the attached shown Mauser 98 action, configured as Stutzen, in 6,5x68 caliber. The proof stamps on the right side of the barrel indicate this rifle was made in 1941, with a pre-proof stamp dating to May 1941, and the final proof to December 1941. The engraving is pretty...

Normally I prefer to not discuss modern stuff in here, but was quite amazed for right now seeing what Vector Optics came up with: basically a copy of the High Turret mount, except they replaced the ring on top with a flat picatinny rail, so that one can use whatever scope one wants to use, with...

I know it is a bit off topic, but having watched this video yesterday it had reminded me so much on the discussions about the connection of Deaths Head marked Luger pistols with the SS, that I simply couldn't NOT post it in here:

That very same seller recently already sold two K.43 ZF4 mounts that were determined fake .. now he has two more ZF4 mounts up for auction, but additionally a LSR mount and a SSR mount - of which both have rifle numbers and the SSR mount even the Weihrauch HWZ logo, as well as coming with a...

This time non professional pictures .. the rifle isn‘t perfect either (mismatch, at least stock, many other parts don‘t have a serial at all), so just to have it documented in here too. Bought it not really knowing what it was, when having home and removing the stock turns out it is a S28 rifle...

Specially for @Tiger 2 Tank to compare with the one he is looking at. Originally did not intend to post since the T-Block of 1945 seems anyway to be one of the best documented ones in the reference section, plus most are stone mint atop. Well, this one falls into that very same category. So...

First of all, I promise this to be my last thread for today, anyway had taken me way too much time to take and then rework all these pictures. But this one is very important to document, also for the future, and therefore I decided to go for almost every stamp that I can find that I think of to...

Well, since I recently already have purchased a Reichsmarine Simson 98b, this is now the second, and at that even better. I've had it in hands a few time, but finally pulled the trigger and bought it off the lifetime collection from someone. It is a truly remarkable rifle for another reason -...

Purchased this VG1 in near NOS condition recently. It is coded qve, so I assume Berlin-Lübecker Maschinenfabrik. Serial number is 1957. Both the receiver as well as the stock have a scripted v within a circle stamped on them. The one on the stock is tough to picture with my setup, but it makes...

https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=19795540 I am under the impression that rifle #20905k from the above linked auction is a pretty good (also in a matter of much effort put into) done fake of a K98k sniper rifle that not had left factory like this. I'd appreciate other opinions though if I...

Purchased the attached shown complete rig, consisting of wooden box that is pencil serialized on top and carries the (rifle) number matching 214 accepted mount on the inside. Quite a complete rig, even has the yellow lense in the box. What is pretty unusual to me, the rifle serial appears to be...

I tend to think these are very high end recently made fake mounts (and as a result to this I think it is OK to post the links to the auctions), but would appreciate the input of others two... First, a 359 stamped mount with rifle number 3576: https://www.egun.de/market/item.php?id=19781630 From...

Recently bought this bolt mismatch ax/ar coded K98k rifle from 1941 which features an original flat roller rail and came with a mismatching early cxn scope. Flat Rollers are very tough to find, as are double coded rifles, therefore despite these two mismatching parts I'm quite happy with having...

Thought this was too uncommon to not share .. Simson made, 1924 year on the receiver, Gew98 marked (but of course 98b), and atop of this also one of those made for the Reichsmarine - note the Nordsee-number on the takedown disc as well as the Marine acceptance on the barrel shank (maybe someone...

A friend pulled this years ago from the trash bin at his local waste collection center when he brought some other stuff there, was sitting in a small cardboard box when he entered the metal container. Sometimes one has to wait a few years to get the stuff, but very happy to have it! It is...

It does have a lightly cleaned stock, still I couldn't pass on it for two features that even among the late bnz45 rifles is unique for it: a) there is a large gap between the barrel shoulder and the receiver. Almost as if the last turn wasn't done. Since the headspace is fully correct and the...

... a friend recently made me aware of the difference in the rear sights of the two pictured rifles. I actually had no explanation for the difference because about every one that I could see had what seems to have been what the rifle serial 61xx has. Until I recently looked at very early G.41(W)...

Just thought that is quite a nice 147 from 1940, but had to look a few times at the bolt assembly and thought that looks to be cold blue. Then I did check the serial on top of the bolt handle again and think it is ground and possibly re-struck. But it has the correct scripted serial on it too...
