Funds sent from my spouse's Venmo account - I really enjoy this site, and frequent it daily - thanks for the hard work and dedication.

No, the rifle was on the upper level Row 22A not far off the main entrance - I purchased it on Saturday around 1730. I briefly examined it on my first pass through that morning and came back to it after I had walked both levels. The other G/K43s I came across were rather junky and way...

A few more pictures...

I picked this up at the Tulsa show a few weeks ago - I have been on the hunt for a better-than-average example after selling my placeholder K43 qve to a local collector/shooter a few years ago. It came with a "G43" marked magazine which is a bonus, but the buttstock was empty. The rifle is...

Thanks gentlemen.

Hello all - After a three year search, I finally found a beautiful (I believe untouched), K43 qve to fill a hole in my collection - detailed pictures to follow in the coming days, but I have an initial question for the group: is this rifle from the "a" block or "d" block? Unfortunately, the...

The D167/2 manual has an outer, thicker stock paper front and back, an interior title page, 14 pages of text followed by a separation page marked, "Bilder" ("Pictures"), followed by ten (10) fold out picture pages. Here are a couple more:

Hello all - Picked this up locally a couple of weeks ago - seller offered several WWII field gear items along with several "Nazi-marked" items using a site that does not allow for the sale of firearms. The seller included a close up picture of the small waffenamt on the receiver just before...

Maybe you are thinking of the elusive large size K43 booklet which I believe is roughly similar or identical in size to the large size G43 booklet. Frankly, I have never had one in hand, seen one for sale, or seen one on display at a gun show or otherwise. Also, I do not recall anyone on this...

Yes, it appears that there is a single extra double sided printed page glued to the inside center edge of the blank page at the end of the booklet. That certainly begs the question about whether your booklet and the two booklets I have with "Unveranderter Nachdruck Nov. 44" on the cover were...

Hi Peter - let me show you what I have and you be the judge. The first picture includes the seven small sized booklets in my collection. The four on the right side include the sentence, "Unveranderter Nachdruck Nov. 44" on the cover which you state translates to "Unchanged Reprint Nov. 44"...
