    German Occupation Hi Power

    I have been passively eyeing Hi Powers for a few years now. I recently pulled the trigger and snagged an A Block occupation Hi-Power. Should make for a nice shooter and entry-level pistol for this category. Can anyone confirm if the magazine markings are accurate for what would have been...

    Last Samurai Mauser 71/84

    While not in my collecting wheel house, I saw a few post on social media about Mauser 71/84s used in several movies that are being sold off. Just wanted to post a link in case anyone was interested. Looks like they have two grades to choose from...

    $130,000 Luger

    Legacy has the most expensive Luger I have ever seen for sale. Tom says it is the first Krieghoff ever made. Would like to here thoughts from people more educated in Lugers than myself...

    P38 AC45 C Block

    I have recently stumbled back into the P38 world after divesting of my collection almost a decade ago. I picked up an AC45 C Block, mismatched (as it should be). For those new to P38s, these pistols were capture on the factory line. GIs exchanged cigarettes and K rations with polish laborers in...

    SVW 45 Roll Mark and Stock Questions

    I recently picked up an SVW45 that appears to have the roll mark partially stamped once, before being stamped again. The initial roll mark is slightly off center. Is this a common mistake made in late war rifles? Also, the stock has a few repaired spots in vicinity of the wrist. Did the Germans...

    1936 S/42 SN 633N

    As I slowly upgrade my very small K98 collection, I was able to pick up a nice bolt m/m 1936 S/42. It came in very nice condition, with a little bit a honest wear, but no major issues aside from the M/M bolt. After reading more thoroughly through Volume 1, I did notice two differences from the...

    Norwegian K98 Questions

    Did the Norwegians cut all of their front sights for front site hoods? What is the Circle A by the triple waffenamp marking? I purchased this rifle a few years ago at a Milsurp gunshow in Washington State. It was in a Yugo Capture stock, but otherwise looked good. I was fortunate to have a...

    S/147/G Capture Rifle?

    I have never seen a serial number on a S/147/G like this. Is this a Romanian Capture? Bubba? Or correct and I just can’t afford Volume 1 yet?

    G/K43 Slings

    I want to start by saying that I realize the vast majority of G/K43's were issued with K98 slings. However, in both Rough Forged and Hitler's Garand there is mention of a G/K 43 specific sling. The books seem to contradict each other with which was shorter or longer. Does anyone have an...

    G33/40 - Is it worth trying to remove this varnish?

    Last year I picked up a bolt m/m G33/40 from Empire Arms. It is a great little rifle, but it was heavily varnished by a previous owner. At the time I did not care because I find that the rifle looks good. (I am sure some of you will want beat me for this and I don't blame you.) However, now...

    G41 (W) with bolt hold open

    I was able to pick up my first G41 a few months back. It is definitely the current king of my collection. Is there anywhere, outside of Rough Forged, that dives into the early G41s? Also, is there any trick to getting the bolt back together easily? I took it down to clean and verify that all of...

    1917 DWM Rework

    This is the first Luger I purchased from Legacy back in 2020. It is an all matching (re-barreled) 1917 DWM that has 3x waffenamps on it as well. It was sold as a rework and "possible Waffen SS issued". I did not buy it for the SS aspect, all of my German weapons were "possibly issued to the SS"...
