    1912 Danzig Kar98a

    Thanks for all the feedback fellas. It was always going to be cherished and well looked after but now even more so. I do suscribe to the concept of curating rather than just owning. That being said it will have to be shot at least once, I have good self control but only to a certain...

    Gday from Australia

    Hey all. A new collector and long time firearms owner here ready to learn and share the little I have. Always have had a curiosity with milsurps and in particular all things German and recently I got my first Mauser in the form of an Imperial Kar98a. I will post pictures in a standalone thread...
