Hello everyone, fresh from the postal office. Was dug up in South africa. Another interesting item of history. Of course its broken way beyond any repair but features an interesting unit marking nonetheless. With kind regards Vincent

Hello everybody, i would like to open a thread covering unit markings of the imperial german era. Unit markings from rifles, bayonets or other equipment are one of the things making german arms so interesting (to me at least) and there are so many fascinating and rare unit markings already...

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...

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...

Hello Guys, we do have some great naval rifles here in the forum. I really enjoy looking at these guns. But i always wonder why there are only G98 with naval unit markings out there. Do you know of, have seen or maybe own a Jägerbüchse 71 or a Infanteriegewehr 71/84 with naval unit markings...

Hello Guys, i wonder if anybody of you have a Colonial Mauser Jägerbüchse 71 with an ejector in your collection and would share some pictures here. I have read that there were some "old" JB71 fitted with an ejector in German East Arica in 1909 to modernize them bit i never saw one. If you...
