Got this one from Chris who handed it off to me before SoS. It’s been documented here before, but a Gew doesn’t really feel like mine until I I make my own post, haha. Aside from some light cleaning and sanding it’s a nice original example. Has the early features like unproofed receiver, 200m...

Nice pick up and thanks for posting. This is a great Kar. I had it in the reference from when Marc owned it, but i'll add your photos also.

Thanks, Jack! Thanks, Sam! Thank you, Jory! It was great to see you and catch up. Glad it all worked out so well, good buddy! Looking forward to seeing photos of your grouping. I'll check again. The flashguard is covering up an acceptance, but i don't have the right tool to remove the screws...

Thanks, Chris! Glad you got to see it in person! You're right, Andy, it is a K. Long day yesterday, got my letters mixed up again. Thanks for the hep on the unit mark.

The scabbard. And the push button release: the nut has a c/S acceptance while the release part has an 18.

My Show of Shows find. Early pattern Bavarian 98/05 plainblade marked to foot artillery. It was given a flash guard at one point, and the high ears were not ground down. The scabbard is obviously not the one it entered service with, but is Bavarian so there’s a decent chance it came to the...

Recent pick up. I’ve been quite lucky with Griechischer Messer and was able to add a regimentally marked example. It’s Bavarian infantry marked, while the other two that I have seen were both Bavarian Jäger. Acceptance wise it’s pretty typical, c/K and c/M.

Thanks for posting the photos on the forum. It is an honor to be able to add it to the reference.

You should start a thread for your 1917 WOK and post some photos. If only the bolt is marked then there’s a fair chance it didn’t go to the Turks. Kornbusch Co didn’t survive the war, changed to Waffenwerke Oberspree.

Excellent score, Sam! Nice to have good documentation of another one that is so original: I added it to the reference. I love the dark streaks in the wood, such a gorgeous stock.

Thanks for posting the photos. Serial number looks to be 3138e.

Pretty badly sanded, unfortunately, but still valuable from a research perspective if you can get photos with the serial number.

Love the condition on this one, looks like it just came back from the war and has never been messed with. I added it to the reference.

Good replacement Spandau, Sam. The double numbered depot bolt is fascinating. It's in the reference!

Congrats on finding an awesome Danzig. Thanks for the photos, i added it to the reference.

Great n block, Sam! One of the best i have seen by far. Added to the reference.

Hell of a score, Chris! Glad to be able to add this to the reference.

It’s not been varnished, it has that factory heavy coating the Germans used on beech. Only detraction is a small crack behind the receiver common to beech stocks, and two small holes from tacks that likely held a label at some point. Otherwise it’s untouched, it’s quite a nice one.

And the bolt.

Stock and handguard.
