Milsurp/WW2 Militaria Collection...so far...

[CanadaCollector]

Id just like to start by giving my apologies to those of you who have been wondering my where abouts for the past several months. Due to some personal issues I had not been able to commit myself (as much) to my fellow CGN'ers.

However, at last I have returned and in full strength, and to make it up to you guys I thought I'd post some pictures of my collection since I have had a few additions since I last posted on here. I may have not been posting as much in recent months but I still tried to force myself to get on here every couple of weeks for a read...I must say I have missed my fellow K98 lovers (Steve1987 and Canadian AR especially) and I can still see you guys are as active as ever!

Anyways folks here you go!


Glad to be back and looking forward to the discussions!

Cheers

Looks like you're off to a great start!

Building a quality collection is not easy. I found getting the first big items (like matching K98's) were the toughest, but as the collection grows it seems like eventually more items will find you! Keep going with it!

These things have a magnetism or something.... or perhaps it is just synchronicity..... but it seems that they DO find each other.

I looked for many years for a ZULU gun, being that original Tabatieres are teeth-in-a-chicken rare, finally found ONE. Within 2 months, there were two MORE in the house, along with the remains of an 1854 French rifled-musket: the guns they were converted FROM. So I looked for ONE old French piece and ended up with FOUR. Thankfully, Janice has adopted two and I think she has evil designs on yet another, so I might have to start looking again!

I am just hoping that the same scenario plays out when I finally run into a Werndl.

Friend, you have the start of a great collection!

Live right, keep your eyes and ears open.... and the Milsurp Gods will send the REALLY nice ones your way!

In the meantime, we're all here, waiting to hear from you.

Thanks for showing!

Great start buddy! Lots of great guns turning up lately.

What's the other k98 in your pics?

 

[CanadaCollector]

The one on the left is my all matching 41 Port Contract and the other is a mostly matching (other than the stock) BCD42

[CanadianAR]

Oh right. I remember seeing it on the K98k site.
They look good, and I know that port is a gem.

Nice bolt actions, nice display.

Nice start to the collection! You need to add some Russian guns to the mix!

 

[Robbs]

Nice collection! Where did you get that nice corner display cabinet?

 

[jongun]

Sure is a sweet set up. Gotta add a nice K98 to my collection one of these days.

a word of warning when collecting ww2 german stuff, there are tons of fakes, i bet more than the real deal, and some are really hard to spot.

At Ikea. They just came out with it. I think it was around 200. Nice little display case that locks, also has room to add lights

Im fully aware. Ive come across some fakes on here and on kijiji. I do my homework and buy most of my items from one very reputable source

I have a pile of old and rare German medals, Hitler sticker books, german books with markings, belt buckles, kit and helmets , Im looking for a modern brown bess carbine or one that can be cut down, and Im willing to trade.
