No telling if it saw much service or not? Possibly not. The condition is really very good.

Hindsight is a great thing. But if you buy good quality militaria it is rare that you ever loose money.

here's mine (well sort off)





No its not lethal unless you physically throw this at someone its in fact a wooden replica used for training purposes by territorial and home guard units, it is of wartime vintage and made like all good firearms in Birmingham and I'm sure its actually a rarer piece of kit these days than the genuine gun.

Basically many years ago I was given this by a Fellow 39/45 MVG member, so it go into a local museum, which it then did for about five years however due to space issues and other political factors I was asked to remove the item, I then offered this back to the original owner and they didn't really want it, so I'm now stuck with it technically its not mine but I've been left to look after it.
