Luftzeugamt Depot Build

Thats a nice rifle Ryan thank you for taking the time with these pictures. I was bidding on it but couldn't raise that amount of funds right now too go higher then my reserve. I was really happy too see one of own get this rifle though. Plus I think you are the best caretaker for this rifle as well. For how much you have researched about the depots this rifle fits perfectly too you. :thumbsup:
 
Great & Very Interesting Rifle Ryan . I really like everything about this K98 . :thumbsup:
 
Great rifle Ryan! Glad to see you got this piece. I remember when it popped up on Dave's site. I was watching just to see how it played out and didn't know that was you. Fabulous photos too! :thumbsup:
 
Great rifle! Exactly how I like them. These bsw luft depot builds definitely have a coolness factor and I find them more interesting than standard run of the mill codes! I have a lead on one near exactly like yours in TX, unfortunately its a bolt mismatch but the seller bought it for $250 and its honest as rain! Its 98 rifles earlier than yours too. The owner is kicking the can on selling, but hes got my contact info just incase! Fingers crossed!

Ryan, congrats it’s a beauty, perhaps the nicest I’ve seen. Look forward to getting to a PC and looking at it on the “big screen.” Pic sticky for ref.
 
Old thread, but came across it while researching some tornister straps. Mine are marked very clearly "V. Waldow-Launer Prag 1942". Looking at the sling I'd say its the same maker and year. MrFarb's listed "Von Waldow Prag" is likely the same maker but with a stamp change made between 1942 and 1943, possibly with Von Waldow and Launer separating into different firms or Launer no longer being an owner?
