Is that an MP-28 in the background or is it an MP-18I/28?
Nice photos. I can see at least half a dozen that would look very nice on my rack.
Do you have any details on precisely what they are? Several are certainly NOT production models.
Thank you.

no, there was no info as to what they are.
i *think* they are from top to bottom:
1) cut-away G98
2) G98 with a rotary magazine
3) G98
4) some variation of the "flier's rifle"
5) G98 with extended box mag, no idea why the action is set so far forward in the stock.

Damn it, I want that cut away training rifle!!! 
Some of those other rifle variants look really weird, perhaps they are experimental examples ? Was there a reference card anywhere near the display ?
Geez, they even have an Mp18 and the Gewehr 98 T AT rifle, I can't imagine lugging one of those around, loading it, and firing. The rifle probably taller than me and I'm 6'2" !

i don't have any photos, but the military museum in dresden has a muzzleloader mounted on a post with about a 1.5" bore that the caption said was for shooting down hot air balloons in the franco-prussian war. they also have a gazelle on display supposedly shot by rommel in north africa.
