That will likely make the rounds again. It is quite unfortunate that RIA doesn't take adequate pictures. Either by design (most likely, since most of their pictures are of the exact same angles), or by accident. It is difficult to tell what the DH looks like from these angles, but no commercial...

A current offering out there in the surf zone. It appears to me that someone took a really nice 1918 Erfurt (with a correct matching magazine) and ruined it for perpetuity.

Anothe HzA rework that has been sitting out there for a while. The rework stamp is lightly struck on the right side, but is very clearly there. It appears that most of the other serial numbers have simply been overstruck with the new SN. The barrel is S/42 marked, but has two serial numbers on...

This luger, and it's companion side engraved Krieghoff were recently for sale on GB. Posted for discussion and reference.

Another HzA reworked pistol. Poor photos don't help, but it appears to be a post war (1920) dated gun with the '1920' property stamp. Interestingly, the serial number is the same on the barrel and the frame, but they have different letter suffixes. I don't think this is an attempt at foolery...

Me thinks someone ended up with a sleeper...let Bruce after this girl for a while and I'll bet she cleans up quite nice. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1011265926

A recent acquisition. A pre-war police luger (notice the lack of a stock lug), that very likely started as a commercial gun chambered in .30 cal. At some point in the early 20's it was acquired by the government and received the '1920' property stamp, was rebarreled in a police armory, numbered...

This is an interesting rifle I purchased some years ago from a well known collector in the Hewston metropolis. It is alas, my sole surviving K98k after all these years. I have balked at selling or trading it for that reason. I think I may have posted a picture or two of it before, but figured it...

Recently acquired a 1917 Navy that was reworked during the Weimar period. New barrel, but does not appear that the balance of the pistol was refinished during overhaul for the police. No other indicators of police service such as a sear or mag safety, likely indicating acceptance by a police...

I think someone got a decent deal here. I was going to bid on it, but I just don't do rifles any more. I asked a guy to post a picture of the bolt, since the description said all matching, and there was no bolt picture. The sling looks to be a legitimate WW1 configuration as well. Some of the...

Just returned from SoS and thought I'd pontificate a bit on the K98 situation to get things started. I'll be up front and say that I collected K98's for a long time, but only went there to really look at P38's and lugers. I did try to look at any decent K98's, but as I can tell refinishes and...

I don't even have words for this...the description pretty much says it all. He forgot to mention the pimp shined butt plate (free of charge).

Surprised this didn't get any discussion here. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/900247177

What...so no one had an extra $5k laying around? Apparently a non-rated bidder did. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/898234773

For discussion and archives. When I collected K98's, these rifles always held a particular fascination for me. This one appears to be all correct. The only part that concerned me was the numbering of the bolt and it's associated components. Tag: HAENEL SUHL 1917 SN 4754

Paul, I know you collect barrel data along with a lot of other info...had a free day today and decided to take apart my 1917 Erfurt 98a. I'll get more pictures tomorrow when the weather is a little better. Anything in particular? Dan

Bought this for a song...is it German? Polish? Other? They are dang hard to find period. I've had several over the years and regret getting rid of them.

Gents, I haven't posted in a long time and I don't really follow the K98 scene much any more, but just came across some pictures of a rifle I had a long while back and figured they might be worth posting out of interest and discussion. I can't really tell you much more about the rifle other than...
