    Full Auto Bringbacks w/ Capture Papers

    I find it funny part for section 4 part 3 says No Nameplates from equipment. I've got probably over 100 metal Nameplates taken from German and Japanese guns brought back in lots. Lawyers definitely did their part in the war helping write the rules in the end. Doubt they had a choice

    Full Auto Bringbacks w/ Capture Papers

    I transferred an MG34 picked up on June 6, 1944 (116th IR) with paperwork 15 years back. Huge money. Mike knows the guy who bought it

    Personalized German Camo Helmet - opinions

    The 'decal' is representitive. Hand painted by vet along with the other art. I stand by my original opinion the entire package is an art fake

    Personalized German Camo Helmet - opinions

    The whole thing seems contrived. The 'provenance' tag misdirects on purpose. I also don't find a Chas. or Charles Kopel. Perhaps C is a middle initial is possible? Even if the name pops up I still wouldn't buy this as a legit 'bring back' item.

    G 43

    You can 100% sell it on this site. Lots of CR licenses or ffl's who will do transfers. Consider getting some better detail pics of the entire receiver area. Again, as for now, don't clean or disassemble

    G 43

    As above no cleaning. Leave as is. Also as above pictures please. I'd note that not having a magazine doesn't necessarily mean that it has a detachable mag. A G41 missing parts is not unusual.

    MG34 just sold on GB -

    34's are a great gun to have extra parts (actually I guess all belt fed guns). Once you get the right combo of parts in the receiver they run great. Ours took some trial and error too. I'm not sure what the 3R life of a 34 was, but it had to have been better than an mg42 being all machined. The...

    Only $5,000.00

    Good f'n God. Tropical SS Russian Front Normandy double decal. Pretty sure I saw that helmet at the Great Western 30 years ago. Still as ridiculous as it ever was

    That thread about the well known....

    I'm glad some of those guys got their money back. What a gross mess of wallet bigger than brain when trusting 'respected' expert who has been in the 'field' for six years. Circular reasoning why a nobody all of a sudden has the rarest WW2 helmets. I've got a great story about an 'original'...

    That thread about the well known....

    That was user JKash on USMF. He had a website with 30 unit marked field camo'd M2 helmets at any given time. It was f'n ridiculous and I couldn't believe anyone fell for that to begin with. A dealer has the direct line on the rarest of the the rare vet bringback paratrooper helmets? Interesting...

    Red 9

    Not sure I've ever posted this on K98, but since Red 9's have been brought up recently, why not. This is the one example of Imperial Mauser I own. I know nothing about these, but it doesn't appear to be post war molested/modified. No markings that would indicate rebuild to me. Thanks for looking
