I painted the shell because it had rusted inside and out and there was no paint left on it. Would you put a rusted helmet shell on top of your gun cabinet or a shell that looks somewhat like the helmet sergeant Schultz would have worn?

My father brought this helmet home when he returned after serving in WW2 and after many years of neglect and my bothers playing with it, I decided to repaint it. The liner had long dissapeared by the time I got to it. In its present condition, what might be the non collector value of this...

That was fast. Thanks mrfarb

This bolt was on a Haitian ARMEE D'HATTI FAB NAT D'ARMES DE GUERRE HERSTAL BELGIQUE 30-06. I don't think it belongs on this rifle. All parts of the bolt match, but it does not match the SN of the rifle. The stamp is on the bottom of the bolt handle. If someone can ID this bold it would be...

I would like to remove a picture in a post ans replace it with another. I can't find anyway to delete the original. Thanks in advance.

So, do you feel the stock is original to the rifle, aside from the varnish job?

Please remove post.

Is this the original finish Mauser stock? After reading on the forum, I got to wondering if my stock is original?

The serial is 39503 and there is no prefix.

When in complete rifle configuration, would a Mauser rifle stamped on the side with STANDARD-MODELL 1924 BE military or civilian or both. On the top of the receiver is stamped with the Mauser banner over 1933. What might the value of just the stripped receiver only with such markings in good...

I've searched and can not find any threads anywhere that have sold mauser receivers. If the receiver is stamped on top with 42 over 1939, and on the side it reads Mod 98, no pitting above or below the wood line, finish is pretty decent and has the swastika eagle thingy stamped. what would be a...

Thanks for that link Stan. It was interesting reading. So, E (LION) 23 was stamped on the side of the rifle, does this mean the rifle is a VZ23 and also the year on Mfg is 1923? I have included more photos of the sling. I couldn't believe it when I saw that the guard screws were also stamped...

I just pulled this BRNO out from underneath my bed. I'm not having any luck figuring the date on this rifle. Is there a code or something I'm missing? Also, does the sling pictured appear to be correct for this model? And is the stock correct? All numbered parts are the same, except the...

Thanks for the help everyone.
