December purchases

Here is part of a post sent to me on another forum.


"According to Ian V. Hogg the Fritz Langenhan Selbstladenpistole (self-loading pistol) sometimes called the Army Model, was developed in 1914 and patented in 1915. It was accepted for military applications by the Prussian army, and military pistols have a c/letter acceptance mark on the left frame. Yours has standard commercial proofs, but no acceptance mark--I was hoping for another pistol to add to the database.

These guns are chambered for 7.65 Auto. If you are planning to shoot it, you should be sure that the takedown screw at the back of the slide is firmly tightened--if it becomes loose, the hinged finger-piece can flip up on its screw axle and allow the breechblock to recoil into your face."


So this is all I know really, apparently also a real Bich to put back together too. My face is ugly enough, don't need a chunk of metal embedded there too:)
Joe, you're becoming narcissistic.:D
Seriously though, properly assembled this thing should be a safe shooter.
There are plenty of guns that hot loaded or assembled incorrectly can be dangerous but they are still used commonly.
I'd be doing my homework, testing it in a safe environment and then making the decision whether to deactivate it.
How about you see if you can gather more info too.
 
stupid auctions...

The sawback bayo is...I dont know....I doesnt fit my GEW-98

The M-39 is very nice...not as nice as those new ones from wolverine but then it didnt cost NEARLY as much

but your M-35 Helmet is Post-War Norvegian issue
please tell me more...Im not a Nazi hat collector by any means....
 
- The Norvegians re-used helmets left behind by the Germans in 1945, putting in new liners, repainting and applying a Norvegian crest on the sides.

- The Sawback bayonet is a Swiss Model 1911 Pionneers AKA Model 1914 Engineers bayonet.
 
Bought one of these today from one of our club members. Huge beast and I figured there was at least a $100 worth of steel in it ... :D

Looks awesome stuck on the end of my Schmidt Rubin 1911 Carbine and although not intended for it, even better on my 1911 rifle ..... :D

The damn teeth on this thing are really sharp and I think it would be good for cutting down the Christmas tree ... ;)

I thought december would have been a slow month.....looks like it was the busiest month all year:)
Anyone remember to buy their family christmas presents?
 
Ross 1910 MkIII. S/N 187 over A and 1916 dated. No CEF cartouche visible. Small E on the barrel and "Not English Make" on both receiver ring and barrel as well as the BM in the Crown. Bore is cleaning up well and other than dings/bruises/scratchs in the furniture NOT BUBBA'D!
 
Picked up a nice Finnish M39.
1942 Sako.
The reciever, underneath, still has its Ishvishk mark dated 1907.
All matching numbers, but the stock is postwar (probably 1950s.)
haven't had a chance to shoot it yet, but I hope it's as accurate as it is pretty.:)
