Wolfsburg, can you measure the hight of the digits and numbers and give us the results? The 1 looks a bit too big for me but without the actual hight its very hard to tell. With kind regards Vincent

Hello Guys, what an interesting discussion here. Sadly i cant give much new input mostly because i am not at my home and cant reach out to my literature or my 1.O.R. rifle and O.R. bayonets for more and better pictures. I am spending the holidays at my parents home and i don't travel with my...

Yes, my bayonet was made in Erfurt and is dated with a crown over 99 but its very hard to take a picture of the date since it has almost worn completely off. The other G.S. bayonet that i know from is marked G.S. 1.57. but i don't know the date. Since the bayonet that was adopted as the...

What an awesome rifle-part-kit-thing. Very early and with interesting unit markings. Congratulations and good luck with finding the missing parts. Since i know a lot more about imperial bayonets then imperial rifles there is not much interesting stuff i can add to this thread, but one thing...

Hello Guys, today i watched a old documentary about british rifles filmed in the 80s. I was very, very surprised to see them showing an original Karabiner 98 (Einheitskarabiner 98 first variant) to showcase the Mauser 98 system. This is the first time i have ever seen a Karabiner 98 filmed...

So many pre-1914 rifles and none of them with unitmarkings. What a shame. Still an awesome collection. With kind regards Vincent

Congratulation to this nice collection. Are there any unit markings on your rifles? I would love to see some of those unit discs. With kind regards Vincent

Hello Warrior1354, to put it shortly: when war was declared in 1914 the imperial german army officially stopped stamping their new weapons with unit markings. Since the "Sturmtruppen concept" was a wartime invention there are no official unit marking for Sturmtruppen. As a sidenote...

You are right. The regiment would be the "1. Badisches Leib-Dragoner-Regiment Nr. 20, 5. Eskadron, Waffe Nr. 130" or in english "1. Baden guard dragoon regiment no. 20, 5. squadron, weapon no. 130." This regiment was founded in 1803 in the "Grand Duchy of Baden" and was added to the prussian...

Hello guys, here is one bayonet from my collection. To understand this damage we have to look at some history first. Its a Seitengewehr 98 old pattern marked to the 2. east asian infantry regiment out of the imperial germen east asian expeditionary corps. These troops would fight in the famous...

Hello, seems like you got some nice rifles there. The answer to your question about the "right" bayonet is the same as it is for your Gew. 88. On march 22 in 1872 the Mauser infantry rifle 1871 together with its new bayonet, the Infanterie-Seitengewehr 1871, was adopted in prussia, saxony and...

Hello, nice rifle! Your rifle is marked to a reserve infantry regiment so the correct bayonet for this gun would be the Infanterieseitengewehr M/1871. This bayonet was introduced together with the Mauser rifle 71, replaced for a short period by the Infanterieseitengewehr 71/84 and then got...

Hello guys, today I want to share one of my most beloved guns with you. It is a Mauser Gewehr 71/84 marked with "KM" meaning it was property of the "Kaiserliche Marine" or imperial navy. Even though from 1887 until 1892 the imperial navy ordered a minimum of 62,000 rifles these navy marked...

Don't forget the Jägerbüchse M/71 :-P With kind regards Vincent

Hello, they way i understand is that B.2.T.F.6.39 will "translate" to the, "Bayerisches Train-Bataillon Nr. 2, Fuhrpark-Kolonne Nr. 6, Karabiner Nr. 39. or in english 2. bavarian supply battalion, vehicle fleet collumn no. 6, carbine no. 39. Basically these guys would provide vehicles and...

Hello, Loewe is right. The 4. marks the "Eskadron" (eng. squadron) number and the 97. is for the individual weapon number in this squadron. 3. H. 4. 97. Hussar-regiment (named "von Zieten") No. 3, 4th squadron, weapon No. 97. Founded in 1730 and stationed in Rathenow, Brandenburg. This was...

Good lord... some of the really rare rifles got sold for so little money. The original Kar98 and the Schutztruppengewehr... wow

Hello, yes. It's the "5. Chevaulegers-Regiment „Erzherzog Friedrich von Österreich“ founded in 1776. With kind regards Vincent

Hey, great carbine you have there. Maybe you can strip the carbine down and upload some pictures so we can see what the barrel looks like without the big barrel shroud. With kind regards Vincent

Hello guys, so now it is basically the question if this unit marking was stamped between 1909-1914 or during the war? With kind regards Vincent
