Holy grail of milsurps...

[Threemorewishes]

Hello all,
Each individual probably has an idea of what constitutes their personal holy grail of milsurps and with that in mind I would like to see a list created by the readership of this forum.

Please list your ONE and ONLY ONE holy grail.

Mine would be a mint, Long Land Pattern Musket (Brown Bess).

Thanks for participating.

Sadly i would never have one, but still:
Avtomat Kalashnikov 1947

 

[Mephistopheles]

Think these Are pretty Cool , Spear Carbines.

 

[marks 36 hamon]

for me it would be an Inglis Boys anti-tank rifle in mint condition with all the trimmings or a Boarder City Industries 1919A4 a very tough call to make

A #4 mk 1*T Longbranch matching #s scope and accessories.

Too many Holy Grails to list: I'm a multi-paganist...
Oh well, let's say a mint, uncut Ross M-1910 and an original Ross .280 Sporter.
Dream on!

Sorry, it must be at least 2, the rifles used by Francis Pegahmagbow and Henry Norwest & donate on loan to the War Museum in Ottawa for display. Expect there to be more than one different rifle for each but have found no info on what types of rifles they used for sure. Ross' would be a nice touch.
For my self in the back yard...
Oh.. how about "Dora", and enough ammo...
Cheers

Sepp Allerberger,s Sniper rifle

 

[nelly]

Sorry to say I have fallen victim to the entertainment media, but I love the Sharps rifles series of books...

Ergo, a Baker rifle, with sword, would be my Holy Grail.

[Skippy]

A Voltkssturm VG-2.

As far as the JFK rifle goes, it's rotting away in the US national archives, but you can get pretty close (same year, manufacturer and model) with a little time and energy.
I've got one that's only a couple hundred serial numbers removed from Oswalds.

 

[bushwhacker]

X2 on the Original uncut Ross MkIII in as good condition as the Essex Reserve Regiment one featured here for under $500

 

[Bittermansbro]

ouch, hard one.

I would have to say an M1A1 Thompson SMG

 

[rottenfuher]

FG42 first or second model.

 

[Tyler]

a Baker rifle, with sword, would be my Holy Grail.

Nelly beat me to it.

You can't go wrong with the first standard-issue, British-made rifle accepted by the British armed forces.
