Hi,
Here is a captured Danzig 1915 Gew98 with night sights from a young Canadian soldier named Harry. I know where the rest of his items and medals are but this is what I've been able to acquire so far. Included with the rifle is a letter he sent home with his 'box of trinkets'. He describes being green on job and going over the top for the first time, when the battle was over he did a bit of souvenir hunting including these items. Also included is a small grenade he captured and the prayer books he carried with him overseas, a gift from his mother. In the letter he mentions how the paper it's written on is from a dead German soldier, and so is the pencil he used to write it. I hope you will enjoy this grouping that is without question a true untouched combat veteran that came from Harry's family threw another collector.
Regards,
-Steve
