1. Dreyse 1907 Imperial marked
2. Belgian 1889 Long rifle DR marked and converted to 8mm Mauser
3. VCS Kar71
4. Danzig 71 Jager
5. Werder Modified in 11mm Mauser
6. Oberndorf 71 Rifle
7. National Arms of Birmingham 71 Rifle
8. Danzig 71 Rifle
9. Amberg Gew 88 S
10. Amberg Kar 88
11. VCS Kar 88
12. CG Haenel Gew 91
13. Erfurt Gew 91
14. Erfurt 1915 Kar98a

19. 1917 Saxon Stern Gew 98
20. 1916 Spandau Stern Gew 98

For 2022 I have my sights set on an East Asian Marine marked 1913 Kar98a and possibly a transferable 1918 Spandau 08-15 Maxim.

That's quite a list Marc you should be quite proud of yourself buddy many very hard to find additions in that list.

Not a huge Imperial year for me only a small list this year, but added many other really cool items. Such as a few cool reworks and some rare Weimer Gew98m pieces.

1. 1914 DWM P.08
2. 1890 Danzig Gew 88
3. More Kar98a muzzle covers and Gew98 muzzle covers.
4. Navy S98 bayonet unit matching to my 1902 DWM Navy
5. Spandau Kar71
6. Erfurt Kar88 bought that last night!
7. Kar98a deal I'm working on not saying yet lol! It's a special one.
8. Another 1916 dated original Gewehr 98 sling

For 2022 there is no telling what met turn up. Still want my Colonial Gewehr someday and more Navy Gewehrs for the book!

Gosh, I haven't found much of anything this year. Tough times for sure.

Hoping 2022 is better.

I didn't buy much this year. I do have five firearms coming from South Africa though. I just have to wait now.
Mauser Oberndorf M1871
Amberg 1871/84
Jägerbüchse 1871 Unknown maker at the moment.
Danzig Gewehr 88
Spandau 1900 Schutztruppengewehr 1898

WMO 1906 Gew98

And then two Weimar reworks…

DWM 1906 Gew98M
Erfurt 1918 Kar98a police rework

I’d love to get my hands on a nice later (‘17/‘18) Gew98, with the grasping groves and bolt takedown disk. As well as nice Gew88. Some really nice ones have been posted lately!

A 1916 JPS Gew 98. Only one Imperial this year but it's really nice for a Suhl. Damn you all went to town!

 

[ChrisG43]

Lugers!
1914 Artillery, 1918 Erfurt, 1916 DWM, 1911 DWM
and a Walther Model 4

 

[mauser1908]

Lugers!
1914 Artillery, 1918 Erfurt, 1916 DWM, 1911 DWM

Post some photos, would love to see them. Is the 1914 Artillery DWM or Erfurt?

A 1916 JPS Gew 98. Only one Imperial this year but it's really nice for a Suhl. Damn you all went to town!

That in itself is a win! JPS don't grow on trees.

 

[Warrior1354]

Any nice matching JPS is a score! Personally I miss my matching 1916 JPS, but I'll get another one some day.
