I'm almost embarased to post this hunk of junk, considering the beautiful Rosses and specimen's from the Julia auction that are being shown off this month, but here goes.
I hope I'd look this good after spending 60 years in the Polish mud:
I bought this some time ago, but it just arrived this week via slow boat from Poland. It's a Gewehr Granat Gerät 42, and a much prettier one is shown in the German MKL over at
www.milsurps.com . I picked it up as a placeholder for my collection, never figured I'd come accross an economically priced one, but I since have and am now waiting on it to be delivered
I didn't have my K98k handy so I threw it on my '44 Walther G43 and snapped a few glamour shots.
I also picked up a Gewehrsprenggranate (rifle grenade) to display with it, here is is ready to rock:
The years of corossion have unfortunatly erased the WaA's and model stamps, but remarkably the hinges and screw still work perfectly and there is still fairly strong rifling in the tube, although I'd describe it's "bore" as... "slightly frosted."
I already posted this at
www.milsurps.com but figured there are probably still a few stragglers here still living in 2006 who haven't registered over there yet
