Bought a Bodeo 1889 Officer's Model and a KNIL 1891 out of the Wolverine Sale I'm pretty happy with, the Bodeo in particular. Details down in the Wolverine picture thread. Also have two Mausers from the same sale waiting for me at the post office, pictures to follow tommorow.

February Milsurp Purchases
These are some of my February purchases. They may not be firearms but they are milsurps:
British MK II helmet shell
Pattern 37 Water Bottle, Cover and Carrier (mine is MEC 1943 ^ stamped and blue enameled. This is a photo of a similar one.)
1942 Kodak CMkIII liquid prismatic compass and Pattern 37 carrier as issued to a Captain Haddad of the Canadian Army Medical Corps. Compass and photos courtesy of Claven whom I purchased the compass from. This compass has been fully reconditioned.
These were purchased for a display that I'm working on to commemorate my father's service in WW2. I have his 'walking out' BD blouse, ID discs, paybook, medals, papers, a few photos, his issue razor, issue whistle, field dressing, a magneto driven flashlight, cup, plate, his wartime lighter, boot brush, a ring that he had made out of a British silver coin and some books and manuals that he had in England.
I've also previously acquired a haversack, dewat Sten (though my Dad used a Tommy gun) and LB SMLE No.4 MK 1* rifle. Lots still to go.

I have strayed...
Yea, but I have wandered far from the path of Lee-Enfield this month.
Everyone seems to be having so much fun with their Mosin-Nagants I decided that I needed to find out for myself.
I decided I wanted a pre-war, hex receiver, hardwood stock, as close to original configuration as I could get in the field of refurbs, and I need to give a big thumbs-up
to Jean at P&S who sorted through his inventory of hex models and hooked me up with this beauty.
1930 Izhevsk that, in my view looks like it might have back in the day. Pre-war stock and all.
Now to clean her up and see how she likes the Chinese 7.62x54r I got from SFRC.

Bought these a few weeks back for my (work in progress) Polish prewar Poland/Holland 1944 display of Polish Army soldier that fought both at the beginning and at the end of WW2.
Polish - possibly prewar - Cavalry Boots
Polish prewar Map/Dispatch Case
These items will be used alongside my previously posted MK II helmet shell, MKIII compass and Pattern 37 Water Bottle, cover and carrier; as well as my December purchase of a Austrian M17 helmet.

8mm Mauser M48 BO
Norinco 1911A1 Police Model
6.5x55 1896 Swedish Mauser
For such a short month, it was a good one.
Got rid of a Savage 300 Win. Mag., also.
Wanted to get the long guns before the massive price increases expected with the demise of the LGR.

tfg 50 is just the code of the rifle. I think its made by the czechs. Thats my hunting rifle for now. I paid pretty cheap for the complete stock and all matching hardware.
