Got two new ones here.
First one is a 1917 Danzig that I picked up off of Gunboards a while back. I got it as a reenacting gun but it turned out to be slightly nicer than expected. It was a restoration, the stock from the rear band forward was grafted on but it looks pretty good. My only issue is that the stock was sanded, but the acceptance stamps are still mostly visible. The rear sight, triggerguard screws, and bands were mismatched. After finding matching bands I decided that I'll keep it as a placeholder until I come across a better '17 Danzig, plus the font the 7 is in is really cool.
It was reworked at Koblenz at some point; the bolt is a renumber and there is also a large L on the buttplate. Since the sight and bands are not original the bolt is the only piece that was apparently altered when it was reworked.
