Damn, that's just pouring salt in the wound.

My mistake, it was in the forgery/bad serial number section. But yes it was bad.

It was a good show for me. Bought some and sold some. Picked up couple of keepers, including a nice mummed Kokura series 22 Type 99 Arisaka with all the bells & whistles and a sling for a song from a guy walking the show. My big ticket purchase was a byf45 ZF41 that looks pretty righteous, but I need to seek a few second opinions on that.

edit: ZF41 photos. It's got a neat mix of blued and phosphated parts.

Is the bolt matching? We need to see more pictures of that sling. That could be a rare late one.

Bolt is matching. The serial number is 17098, no suffix. The shroud and cocking piece also match, but there are no numbers on the safety or bolt release. Also has a stamped TG and floor plate. The sling has no markings, but it has sewn keeper and rear tab. From the patina, it sure looks like it has been on the rifle in the same position for a long time.

Here are a few shots of the sling and rifle alongside its cousin, a duffle cut documented bring back bfy45 that I acquired a few years ago.

hats off to you for being hard core & making the drive, I guess I’m getting old!
Shocked at those K98k price tags! it may be less dramatic when seeing the whole rifles, but……. seeing the number on the bcd 42, & its rounded bolt cut out edges gives me hope for my ‘43s with nice sharp edges! Thanks for that pic, it tells a lot.
enjoyed the Zundapp lid as well.
