Re: What's your newest Militaria purchase?
Hi Ewan, ill be glad to take some pics of it when I get back home but, it'll be a long wait before it can be posted here. Reason being is two-fold-I don't have the ability to post pics myself-and the 2nd reason is that ill have to get a photo CD made of these pics-then send them out to a member here to post for me ;-))
I also would like to show off a mint Mauser sniper variant that I have-which has a 25 round Ansteckmagazin. It also has a strange serial number of: 261-T - whatever that means? Anyway, I got this rifle in either late 1997 or early 1998. If you are familiar with the 2 volume publication written by Law-the books are called: Backbone of the Wehrmacht. Mine if it had been known about before volume 2 went to the presses-would most likely have been published in vol 2-which is about German Sniper Rifles and most any variants. There is a 2 page spread that shows two rifles similar to mine with only one of them almost completely matching mine except for a few minor details.
Anyway, sorry for a partial and then off-topic reply. I will try to get [ics and CDs done and mailed as soon as possible. The wait will be worth it ;-))
Cheers and best regards-Carl.
