Trade Ex Military Surplus Mystery Box #2

[maple_leaf_eh]

My box of mystery arrived today. Stand by for a couple of photos and questions about identifying the bits.

 

[handofzeus]

Giddyup!!!

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

OK (had some electron difficulties), so here goes.

Mystery box arrived today. Several leather and webbing pieces, some of which will go straight to File 13 as not worth giving house room. Several interesting metal bits, and a book. At least two similar items to the Box #3 posted tonight.

Item #26 proves the folks at TradeEx have a wicked sense of humour.





And for your viewing pleasure, a very nice surprise. If you own Zastava M-57 serial number N259816, I have your record booklet, with Serbian technical inspection records. Note how the rubber stamp advanced 1987, 1988, 1989.









All items for sale if you need one.

Other than #11 looking like an ejector for SOMETHING....I am stumped!

#10 looks like a Mauser Butt Plate, possibly k98 but hard to say for sure.

 

[jbmauser]

Lots of M98 parts. 13 is an ejector/bolt stop probably from a Turkish 1903 or similar action, 7 is a M98 recoil lug, 8 is a M98 bolt sleeve stop, 11 looks like a band spring from a VZ-24 or something similar. 15 might be a rear pillar tube from a M98? Can't tell.

#25 Cetme sling

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

I agree with 13 is Turkish. It is marked with a hollow star and a crescent moon over two Arabic numbers. The ejector is there, but the rest is battered.

The butt plate has no numbers, is a simple stamping and the top screw is angled in on the top corner.

Got #25 in my box too, Cetme sling

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

16 is threaded on one end and slotted on the other. Like the fat bore brush, it is part of a cleaning kit.

19 is plastic, and looks like a finger rest for a small calibre semi-auto handgun. I wonder if the magazine spring and it go together?

#6 looks like a chamber inspection mirror from a tool/cleaning kit. Swiss?

#10 looks like a Mauser Butt Plate, possibly k98 but hard to say for sure.

I was thinking K-31, but not sure either

I was thinking K-31, but not sure either

A slightly different angle might reveal more...Although I believe you may be correct looking at it again now...They're quite similar from that angle so it's hard to tell.

Lots of M98 parts. 13 is an ejector/bolt stop probably from a Turkish 1903 or similar action, 7 is a M98 recoil lug, 8 is a M98 bolt sleeve stop, 11 looks like a band spring from a VZ-24 or something similar. 15 might be a rear pillar tube from a M98? Can't tell.

Pretty sure #7 is a mosin crossbolt...

 

[PinkyPlinker]

17 looks like it might be a Swedish Mauser barrel band spring, although I can’t quite make out the location of the cleaning rod hole or the profile of the band end.
2 looks like a Swedish Mauser firing pin spring, really close anyway - dimensions are tough to judge even with the tape

#21 is the spare magazine holster for a PPK shoulder holster rig. I got the whole thing from Tradex last year.

 

[handofzeus]

Good eye Dave, I have the same holster and mag holder....totally missed it.

 

[Dave in Calgary]

Fits a Browning 1922 quite nicely, by the way.

#12 sort of looks like an M1 carbine sear. But with the angle that it sits, and shadow, I can't be sure.
