I've done business with them, sold off some things when I narrowed my accumulation. Very happy with the service.

I received a flyer for an upcoming auction this week and saw something that members might find desirable. I'm not sure if I would be in violation if I posted a "heads up" in the forums? I have no connection to the piece or the auction house. Thoughts please?

The information on the receiver confirms this. It was made at Oberndorf in 1944. (BYF = Oberndorf, 44 = 1944. I'm guessing in the spring of the year. There are originals available. You can post a WTB (want to buy) ad in the trader section here.

I can't comment on how a PFC. might get one home without cutting it. I believe it was easier for an officer, as I have such an example. At any rate, yours appears to have been well kept. Please do post more pictures. You have our attention.

Mantis, I hear you. It's frustrating as hell to watch. I just want to jump in and thank everyone here that does share information. I don't have much to offer, I would if I did, but, my head is like a sieve and retention is low. Half the time I'll pull something out of a cabinet and ask...

Any thoughts on the origin of this sling? I can't remember where it came from and just re-found it. Resembles the k98k style but seems a somewhat crude copy.

My point being, Mr. Brown's generosity reached a lot of people.

I thought it was you. It is a great picture. I hope all is well with you and yours. I don't get to many shows down that way anymore.

I think a lot of us have that photo.

Was there a reserve on it? I thought it sold first time around. I was surprised it was still in the rack at the second session.

Beautiful. I was able to examine it at the Amoskeag sale. Kicked myself for not buying it but I think it's in a better place now.

As Muncher said, sling isn't right, serviceable, but not correct. Looks Yugo to me. Not a deal killer. Nice repro's are available if you want something that looks the part. Stock looks like it has been cleaned somewhat aggressively. I think you're spot on with the prices, but that's me.

Thanks for this. I figured there would have to be some additional work but had no idea what. Appreciate you putting the link up. Now I'll know what I'm looking at in the event I come across a barrel like that.

Didn't someone adapt MG barrels to K98k's? Could it be one of those?
