All that can really be said is that is one awesome relic I wonder who the lucky owner is, if it was mine I'd probably get a really beaten up stock to display it with, plainly so people who dont ask "what is that?"

Thanks

wow... thats not something you see very often

Sold for about 170 euro ...
the condition was an obstacle for the buyers .
but it's a part of history ....

I actually like relic weapons quite a lot, my relic K98 is one of the things that I will never sell. Relics like this have a real history and character to them, not like some mint weapons that might have never seen fighting and were kept in storage during the war. I wish i knew about the auction because I would have put in a bid if I could

Thanks

Oh wow.

I dream of finding a relic weapon. Even a helmet would do. I mean.....the stuff I find is well cool and thrills me to bits, but this would be awesome.
