I guess this could have been posted in any number of forums, but the imperial section seems to have a lot of knowledge so here it is. This was posted on the forums a while back with mixed reviews and I've had it for a bit but wanted to repost with good photos. I am comfortable with its...

https://www.gunbroker.com/item/981073075 Mods feel free to delete the link if needed. Don’t burn your money on this one …. Fake safety/shroud SN (maybe bolt?), fake serials on bottom metal and follower, fake stock serials and skull.

Just out of the closet...

did something change on posting photos with the recent update? I never used to have an issue posting.... now I've resized photos down to 1000 mp on the longest side and the forum is still saying too big. any help?

Another picker find..... a little light on finish as many of these seem to be. Probably made it to an SA training unit. As far as I can tell this is the earliest recorded Ch.d.A. and right around the 33-34 transition this one has '33 style numbering and '34 rollmark. Came with Clayton's...

Very Strange Gew98-k98k Rework Been meaning to post this one for a while. My friend got this from a vet at a hotel buy in the 80's. It took me a while to get comfortable with its originality, its so atypical and basically brand new. I'm still unsure as to who did it, when, or why. A few...

Heres a tough code. This ones seen use but not cut for a hood and factory original down to the factory locking screws (has s/42 sight slide, but factory detent). Has a joa 1941 sling. Thanks for looking

Heres one i picked up recently....its a shame it didnt keep its matching bolt as I bet some interesting things would be on it. It's closet fresh with a great sling and is right in a range where a lot was going on at Bruenn II. This is in the middle of the NDFCR range though i suspect it stuck...

Pre98 does it again........poof matching bolt https://pre98.com/shop/new-arrivals-for-monday-august-5-2019/ultra-rare-genuine-ss-issue-totenkopf-marked-gew98-k98k-reworkall-matching-the-real-ss-deaths-head-rifle/ http://www.k98kforum.com/showthread.php?8859-Opinions-on-SS-Conversion-Please

Got this one recently as well and thought I'd post it. Matching except for the rear TG screw. A late 36 with transitional stock proofing. Never had a toe repair and never cut for a hood.

I meant to post this one earlier with my FJ helmet. I got it earlier this summer from the vets brother- the veteran who brought it home was James Earliwine of Belmont, Ohio. I've been trying to research his unit so far without success, but his brother thought it was something armor related...

Lightening struck twice earlier this summer and I got this the same week as the duv43 I posted a few weeks back. A nice raw late B block I guess probably picked up in the factory. It's a single lug gun but has the updated gas system and extractor. I like the look the plum barrel gives with...

Picked this one up a few months back and finally got around to photographing it. Originally came from the nephew of a 28th division vet. This M18 helmet saw use for 25 years plus, long enough to get a spray normandy camo. Strangely enough the original liner was never updated to m31 style. It...

1 of 2 that i got last week. This one came into a pawn shop that has been good to me over the years. I hadn't paid much attention to these but it seems like these duv's made summer '44 and earlier don't pop up much. Nothing in the buttstock and has a k98 hood that has been on there forever...

Was glad to add this one a few months ago...named, combat worn, early war helmet. :thumbsup:

Picked this up a few months ago by pure luck. Izhevsk made SVT's seem to be quite a bit more difficult to locate than Tula's. Non import marked and non-refurbished, this one is a bolt assembly mismatch- everything else matches. A bit strange. The bolt and bolt carrier match each other and...

Still dusty. I've been chasing this one since it first surfaced a few months ago...finally got it. It is still as found and not been disassembled. A real combat vet :happy0180:

A couple neat mg34 shrouds, unfortunately neither are matching kits. I own the dot 1940... I believe Myrvangs book speculated whether or not these exist, I think evidence was found in period documents but there were no known examples. The other is a kit I don’t own but was able to photograph...

Has anybody ever seen or heard of one of these? Has some convincing attributes, but maybe just a top secret German/Japanese hybrid joint venture :moon: http://www.pre98.com/shop/our-newest-finds/pending-ultra-rare-german-ww2-experimental-98k-rifle-sling-made-plasticized-fabric-minty/ MODEDIT...

Picked this one up recently directly out of a WWII vet estate. He had several other things which i acquired as well and it turned out to be an interesting story, but that's for another day. The rifle is all matching except the safety which was missing so I put an armorer on for photos...
