XXI District Vz24 vet bringback out of the woodwork

Fantastic! The depot rifle, and the GI's history too, a definitive collection rifle!
Thank you this one is indeed quite special I'm glad everybody here got to see it. And believe it or not I still have more documents and information to go through I might come up with even more information on this veteran. Will see.
 
Outstanding find, congrats! (y)
That's a really cool depot build, and my kind of K98k. Great job!

Thank you Bruce, and I want to give a thanks to Mike as well. If it wasn't for the both of you I wouldn't have gotten all that learning from those books! Knowledge sure is power. Mike told me a long time ago you're not always going to have the books, or me and Bruce to verify something. You have to use your own judgment to get a good item. And he was 100% correct.
