Thought shall be the harder , heart the keener,
Courage the greater as our strength faileth.
Here lies our leader ,in the dust of his greatness.
Who leaves him now , be damned forever.
We who are old now shall not leave this Battle,
But lie at his feet , in the dust with our leader
House Carles at the Battle of Hastings
Here's my active MP44. It's an old dewat that was activated again. It has mismatched numbers but runs great with my reloads. The pouch is original and was brought back by a GI with an MP44. It must have been shipped right from the factory unfinished at the end of the war as it's unused and the loops that would secure the closing straps have not been installed. You can see the location dots where they would go. The GI brought it back complete with three magazines.
Original pouches are 100 times scarcer then the guns.

Hi Ade,
Thank you and I am currently negotiating a deal on this one! May I ask if you or anyone else could help me with the buttstock as I have never seen one with that type of wood? Laminated or not?
Cheers
