No War Eagles For You!

Thanks Heavy_Mech, interesting about the P, I really could not find many other DUV 42's to compare, and the one's I did find I think were all earlier...

White vinegar has had good results for me. Jeff

Rear side of the firing pin had an odd stamp I’ve not seen before, assuming it’s an internal shop mark but kind of interesting, the pin itself is...

nice one Bob and real early as well..... :thumbsup:

Great rifle and the price was actually below what it’s worth in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only reason to buy it - the receiver markings- are beat to hell. No, hard pass imo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe the bolt and stock are probably original pieces, but everything is heavily refinished as you said. The bolt has the notch to aid...

Great pics..nice stock cartouches.Great condition. Not an easy gun to find in nice condition.:hail:

Unfortunately so but in those days people were taking $5 or $10 blades and trying to sell them with enhance special markings for like $30. Hell I...

My grandfather worked an Arisaka as well, along with an Enfield or two. It's amazing how they couldn't give these things away in the 50s.

Tr. markings appear real. SS and blade etchings totally fake. End result is a desirable bayonet ruined, the set is worthless imo. Sent from my...

Eso scopes are not common.

Original Imperial era rifles do command a premium too World War 1 collectors but if I find a nice gewehr with a 1920 stamp on it I wouldn't hesitate...

It could have been used by this guy.

Yeah I have one of the 1912/15 rifles in my collection unfortunately someone put an extra coating on the stock, but the rest of the rifle is...

Safety doesn’t match the bolt? If the stock isn’t sanded I’d buy it, should have chatter. Assuming it isn’t the one you posted with the Steyr eagle...

The scope is original, the numbers on the mount and base are bogus. I just wanted to be able to add something to the thread. Sent from my...

How much is it? Might still be worth picking up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Bnz stock inspection. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably a late unfinished lsr. Should be in the late 2000- 10000 serial range. Probably even later with no final on top of the receiver, probably a...

going off memory.. the earliest rifles date from late 38 into 1939.. The earliest being in the high 199,000 ser range then roll into the 200,000...

Your intuition is correct, your luck is not that good. None of the numbering is correct/ authentic. Post photos of the base rifle.

The Portuguese stuff is not a bad choice either but you can't seem to find it for sale anymore. :boom:
