    8mm blanks

    These are postwar, obviously using German wartime brass. I had several thousand rounds of this same ammo at one time. Though the "bullet" appears Egyptian, I seem to recall these being Norwegian or some such. I'll see if I still have a box of it Monday. It functions flawlessly through 34's/42's...

    Louisville Fair Board comes down on Klan and Christmas ornaments....at SOS

    These idiots would have flipped when there would be dozens of WW2 German vets (u-boat crewmen, tankers, pilots, etc.) at a show peddling ceramic coffee cups with their wartime pic emblazoned across the mug, signed 8.5x11 signed images, biographies of the war, repro insignia from their squadron...

    Louisville Fair Board comes down on Klan and Christmas ornaments....at SOS

    Kick out all the dealers who sells repros and the shows would be empty.

    Mauser 98 modern build

    I always go to the blueprint standard. I'd personally use a German manufactured receiver, made by Mauser Oberndorf. Dave is correct in that the Czech rifle receivers are absolutely top quality, and you wouldn't go wrong by using one. I always go with the original manufacturer on quality hunting...

    German hat ID help needed?

    Enlisted m38 schiffschen. Standard German army field cap issued throughout the war but replaced by the m43 field cap. Appears to be original due to insignia but more pics would be nice. They range in price (condition matters) from $200-$400 typically.

    Get out your MP40, Subgun shoot near Gettysburg PA 14 July

    Is this annual? I'd love to take a driving trip for something like this. Take my kids to some CW battlefields on the way and get my shoot on.

    Can someone identify this rifle?

    There's lots of 39-41 pics of German Pioneer/Engineer units carrying the 98a.

    G41m ...

    I could make the machined type of this op-rod. The stamped version is out of the question. If someone is interested pm me. It won't be inexpensive. At least a couple hundred bucks. Emphasis on "at least". Dimensions need to be correct.

    Vet hoard buy...

    Possibly c47 related? Of the era and a military plane used for all sorts of transport including airborne operations. If military related it would be local, as in by unit, but not authorized for wear on a uniform (not that it didn't happen). A pic of the reverse may help some...

    G41m ...

    Walther is apparent but it may be tough to find info on MO. 41m's in lam are gonna probably be rare compared to the three 359's I know of.

    G41m ...

    It would be interesting to compare MO and Walther time frames of laminate stocks by serial, for the 41m and 41w. I'd bet there's a connection.

    Any serials? By chance?

    Any WaAs on stock that are still evident? Above or below serial on stock?

    G41m ...

    I wouldn't say mid-war replacement. Mel and I went back and forth on a super early g41w I bought from him. He was convinced it was a replacement, til Espeholt's serial study proved three rifles in near range all had laminate stocks. I'm not saying these laminate stocks aren't replacements, and...

    Brown M42 Helmet ckl66 #3506 for Review

    Appears repainted to me. If the dome stamp is original, it is sitting over the current paint job, which would make me think repurposed. I know nothing of the SA, other than they basically ceased to exist in the early 40's. I'd be surprised if they had sway or money to get a bulk of helmets late...

    Good Fieldgear / Militaria Reference Site

    Awesomeness for new and old collectors alike. E-tool break down is perfect in my opinion. I kept thinking this and this won't be there. Nope. This site got it all....
