Posted anonymously on Facebook. Even in that condition it’s a rare treasure.

I don't blame them for keeping it anonymous.

Really neat.

No lie. Never seen a dug example before. Came through pretty well all considering.

Neat. Have seen 1 other dug in Berlin area that has a grenade launcher cup attached, he used to display it at the TMHS events in Austin. He dug it himself. When the amnesty hit in 68 he tried to register it but they told him it was junk and wouldn’t.

I wonder how these handled when firing grenades. Interesting.

Any pictures of this one?

I have an actual picture somewhere I took at Muster Day. Let me look for it.
