Hello, I now have three DUO ‘45 dated pistols (and two ‘44 dated ones as well). Added one a couple of weeks ago that is pretty high in serial number range. Possibly still making it under German occupation. The slide is still “Opotschno” and not after the change over to “Opocno”. I have been...

Hello, I wanted to show this late PP off. According to the late PP serial number data list for these late ones, this one is around the last two hundred of them. Mostly in the white, aluminum early, unnumbered frame. No proofs. Only markings are the slide serial number and a couple of hidden...

Hello, I am looking at a nice late 35XX T block K.98k. Rifle matches itself, except the entire bolt assembly which matches itself in the T Block as well. The bolt assembly is not too far off in serial number to the rest of the rifle (40XX T). The cocking piece is a blued S/42 (matching to the...

Hello, I got these mags at the Tulsa gun show this weekend. I have a small collection of Mauser and Walther PP mags going. When I got these, I did not instantly know one mag of each of the PP and 1934’s had factory errors. Once I started looking at them, I noticed it. The sellers didn’t know...

Hello, I just got this one in from Legacy Collectibles a couple of weeks ago. Nothing special, but I don’t think it’s been cleaned or anything and I just really liked it. So, I thought I would photo it and show her off. Sort of a “pre Tulsa buy” I guess you could say. The holster is a little...

Hello, What is the likely hood that a mismatch K.43 ac45 would be a true bring back like the late P.38 ac45 mismatches and PP mismatches? Given that all is correct, stock unsanded, etc. I don't have one in mind or anything, I just was thinking how likely it would be in our collector...

Hello, I was able to help a fellow collector of these pistols find the matching slide to his mismatched PP. His mismatched PP had an odd earlier modified slide to it that appears to have been assembled like that from the factory when it was captured by the Americans. It is not known what this...

Hello, Here are probably two of the most unique pair of Radom VIS pistols I have ever seen. Both have the same serial number. Built a couple of years apart. One is an earlier high polish 3 lever pistol while the second is a later, rougher finished 2 lever pistol. How did these come together...

Hello, I just picked up a little Mauser WTPI pistol from Legacy Collectibles. I think it is a later variant of this gun and wanted to show some differences in it with some of my other pistols. I checked the serial number on the gun with several gun websites and found a prior owner of this little...

Hello, G.43 duv44 #4012g has been on two sites that I have documented: 12-20-2015 wehrmacht-awards 06-16-2023 gunbroker Wehrmacht-awards https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forum/wehrmacht-uniforms-and-equipment/firearms-forum/832073-g43-duv-44/page2 The consecutive rifle has now come...

First, these photos are not mine and are from Rock Island Auction. This rifle is from an auction that has already happened and the photos are here for study. The rifle is a BLM G.43 e block. So, this rifle sold for (hammer drop price) $11,000 + 17.5% bidder premium + 8.25% tax. The parts are...

Hello, This is not an “actual Axis firearm”….but, please allow me to explain. I’ve been looking around for one of these for quite sometime now. I’ve never been able to find the correct one for the collection. I should note that I’m not a Smith & Wesson collector, but there’s a reason I wanted...

Okay, is this an “i block”? If it is, it’s the lowest qve45 I have recorded, unless I missed one or some in my BLM listings. What say you? Thanks for your assistance, Kelly

Okay, why in all Hell would someone do this to an ac45 d block? I mean damn! Having fun with the Dremel set or what? I just don’t understand this at all. Images were taken by the seller and posted here for a learning exercise only.

Hello, I received a second one of these. Even later than the one I posted a few days ago. The later one did not come to me as a rig like the earlier one did. A prior owner of the later one said that he believed he had rigged it out and sold it at the last SOS. But, as these things happen, the...

Hello, Found some time to do some quick photos of my new High Power rig. Was going to do rifles today, but this one was easier to manage in the time I had. This is my first High Power in the collection. I just haven’t found the correct late b block in the condition I desired. And, the prices...

Hello, Here is a rare one. A BLM ac45 f block. This one is neat because of course the dual manufacture, but it’s also neat because it’s the SECOND earliest one I have recorded in my serial number listings. The first one is BLM K.43 ac45 #1696f reported in the book “Rough Forged”, volume 2...

I don’t know if I missed this or what in my Darrin Weaver books or my K.98k Karem/Steves books. But, when stocks were built, right after they were shaped and cut, when was the hardware assembled in or on them? Trying to figure out how all that came together. I have a later K.43 ac45 NLS that...

This one from Legacy Collectibles has already sold, so I thought I would ask the experts. For a serial number listings stand point is what I am asking about. I don’t know where to put it. It looks like serial number 16, but someone added a suffix “B” letter block to the receiver and bolt...

Hello, I ‘think’ I may have found something interesting in the ac44 e block rifles. I have often wondered when they stopped final proofing these rifles with two e/359 stock side stamps and going with just one final side stock e/359. Nothing in German weapons seems to be an exact stop as it’s...
