Meh, research carefully, looks like heavily sanded stocks, and that deaths head in the wood is laughably bad...

Over 30 K98,s yes some had sanded stocks,some are all matching,some have had stocks replaced. A few real nice ones but many cheaper ones. Mountain rifles,Autos. Lugers with capture papers. This was all one man's collection. 50 years of collecting.
 
Still laughable, still fake as a $3 bill...

Yeah that was probably done in the 60s to enhance a sale. No SS rifles were ever marked like that, a collectors fantasy. And as Clay stated that is the wrong buttplate on that G41m. Price tag of $13,000 is alot money for a rifle with issues.
 
You were there when it was carved? Yes it probably is but we will never know?

I guarantee it is. A German soldier, especially a Waffen SS guy would be strung up by their NCO if they did that. Period. End of story...

Word of warning, if a collection has that many red flags and humpalicious stuff in it, it likely has many issues...

100% beyond a doubt. Reminded me a bit of Drago. He got a hold of those jumbo TK and Das Reich stamps and couldn't contain himself.

While it might be easy enough to convince yourself they 'might' be real the problem is if you ever want to sell it you need to convince someone else they are.
 
None of this stuff is mine. Just stopped in and took some pics of the stuff. There is definately some issues with a lot of his stuff. Dont understand why some of the stocks are bleached???. Who would do that?
 
Someone already bought that SS rifle for $5,500. I didnt get to look it over to well but seemed to be a.Gew 98 rebuild.
