Hello all,
I have been lurking here for quite some time and figured it is about time I made a contribution. Here is an all matching 1880 Spandau Kar 71 that was issued to the 3rd squadron of the 5th Kürassier Regiment in 1888. From a very young age I was fortunate enough to to tag along with my father, Peter S and our close friend Craig Brown to our local shows and eventually the bigger shows like the SOS and National Gun Day. Through Craig I developed a huge interest in Imperial German arms and field gear. I acquired this carbine from Craig a few years before his passing when he started to sell some of his doubles.
Thanks,
Nick
