Thanks for the headsup, I never go to Gunboards these days, I do not even have the log-in details... if someone can gather the details in the format of the research thread, Chris or I can add it to the thread, no need to lift the photos and post them here. The purpose is purely establishing trends of observed production, mostly ranges, breaks year to year, and various patterns developed during production (units, modifications etc..)
Glad to see you get that one home Mike! It was a nice rifle buddy.
Thanks Mike- Appreciate you taking the time to post that. I'll add it to the list.
Now that deserves its own thread.
Definitely worth it. The fact alone that it’s Wurttemberg accepted makes it worthy of detailed study. Plus it’s looks very original, I’d take more original over higher condition any day.
I agree completely! WMO is quite elusive, 1878 only 3 recorded, one a German auction (which means one or two pictures), another Storz (which meager details at best..); really any WMO, even a wartime G98, deserves a group of pictures as even when common (like WMO/17) they often are interesting for other reasons.
I will check it out and update the database thread while the wife is slaving away over the turkey tomorrow!
These are both exceptional looking Mauser 71s. While i'm sure Paul will add these to the 71 research, if you do individual threads for them i would love to add them to the reference.
