It would make sense that they were original of course - just not my area.

$42K didn't meet the reserve.
You are correct, Sarge - they are horrible pictures of great looking guns - probably would have made the reserve with better pics - they definitely make a difference in auction.
However, if it's a consignment item, the photos could have come from the original seller, in this case possibly a non-gun type relative of the deceased owner. They always seem to take the most random pics, don't they? Close ups of the swirling in the bakelite that they think is interesting - When I ran my WTB ads on a bunch of non-firearm forums, in the early days of collecting, I'd get inundated by relatives looking to monetize their heirlooms: photo's in the dark, out of focus, close ups on their feet, cats sitting on the guns, in the sink, on the front seat of their car.
Once got an out of focus picture of a literal pile of shotguns, with an FG42 hidden in the center - it was a Shoei replica, but had to buy the lot to find out, lol.

55k.... Ok so
That's 21k for the mp43
Aaaaaaaand 17k for the mp40
Lots of mags so another 3k let's say
I am being generous...
So another 1k for the accessories.
So by my calculations.... Those papers are worth $6,500 EACH

The pictures provided are insufficient to determine the authenticity of the pouches. However, from the pics they look like green clg 43s, which are known original variants.
