WWI Is Over And I'm Moving To British East Africa

[K98ACTION]

I was born about 100 years too late! Anyhow I got my gear and I'm going to hunt big game in BEA. The year is 1919. Who wants to come with me on this adventure.

I'm taking my Lee Speed in .303, I will be using 215gr Kynoch cartridges, and solids. I have my service .38 Webley, compass and an American fighting knife which I traded some Yank back in France for a few packs of smokes.

Anyone can join me, just one rule. You must have the gear... So put it up and lets have a look.

Nice collection, love the Lee Speed!!

BTW, the Webley should be a Mk V 455! The 38 did not come out until the 1930's!!

I'll tag along.

I'll bring my M98 9.3x62 and my Smith and Wesson Second Model Hand Ejector 455. I'm short on 9.3 ammo right now but should be able to secure some on arrival. I've enough ammunition for the Webley to keep myself out of mischief for the time being.

Whoops! I also noticed that my compass case is dated 1940!! Umm, maybe it's 1946, but that is not as cool as 1919.

ps, I thought that the compass and acceseroies were pretty neat!!

Didn't the knife have brass knuckles as well or is this another model? Not an expert just curious................Harold

All I can think of is somebody bubba'd a perfectly good piece of history to comply with modern-day laws when it comes to the knife, the rest is pretty nice ...

I'll bring my........ Smith and Wesson Second Model Hand Ejector 455.

Back in the day the big Smiths and Colt New Service in .455 were pretty good sidearms for the Mounties, too....

hmmm, i would have to pack my Norwegian Krag thats been rebarreled to 6.5x54 M/S, and the my Winchester 1895 in 7.62 Russian. 73 peacemaker in 45lc for a sidearm, and a 20 guage Auto 5 for the shotgun.
