I had one of those No 1 MkIII's. You'd fire the grenade with the butt on the ground, not on the shoulder. And of course would take off the launcher when using as a regular rifle.
Mein Gott in Himmel! Unreal! The history! So many interesting comparisons, & not all about pistols! Not that I don't like pistols, mind you...it's just nice to see you expanding the horizons of your channel & business! Thank you so much for the videos! I'm soooooo looking forward to seeing the other guns you bring in over the next month!
If you found a time machine and you're going back to get rifles and handguns from the 30s and bringing them back, we won't complain if you take us too..
@@martincorbitt1979 You can go back before 1968 GCA. These German Military in excellent shape can be purchased at Gifts shop in W. Germany for $20.00. I only owned WW-II Walther P-38 with German Proof Mark Speebeck for $130.00 in 1978. I sold it for $189.00 two months later with $15.00 FFL fee in NJ.
This dude is probably 55ish and still retains his boyish face. I'm an ugly bastard. 😂😂😂 Enjoy your vids Tom. Thank you for sharing what some of us would never otherwise get a chance to see.
dust covers didnt rattle since each one was custom fitted to each parent rifle (serial number matching), rattling only occurs when you mismatch covers and rifles. "Throwing them away" would be a punishable offense as they were the personal property of the Emperor
Yes they did rattle. I have 4 near unissued examples with matching covers. The do indeed rattle when actioned. Also, they started to rattle as the get loose from being worn. As found on my other examples, they are very clanky. I don't feel the soldiers threw them away but rather just took them off. They were never put back on for obvious reasons.
Interesting the Walter's didn't have lanyard ring on heel, indicative of commercial production... most any and every military model pistols from any nation 20's 30's to 50s all has a lanyard ring on the heel or mag.
"Prices are very strong, that's a good thing"...yeah, for you maybe. For us out here in the buying public, even basic firearms like a Glock or S&W M&P have skyrocketed to 2X or even 3X what they were this time last year. Ammo has gone through the roof as well. It's getting to be only the very well off can afford anything but the most "inexpensive" of guns. After attending the Tulsa show this weekend, I've decided to simply not even try to add to my collection until things calm down and go back to normal. If they don't, I guess I'll collect paperclips or something.
So what was the Carbine with the attached bayonet ? You just called it a Soviet style.... soviet style what ? There never was really any angle that gave me an idea what it was only the barrel and sort of top down views so I couldn't see what it even was. So was it a Mosin ? I just couldn't see
That's an Enfield smle. Similar wire wraps and an ishipore screw were added to no.4mk1 and no.4mk1 star rifles used in ww2, yes smle's where used in the war.. but to my knowledge none where manufactured in India. Maybe a few less desirable rare abominations where..? No.4mk1 rifles of longbranch Canadian manufacturer along with savage u.s. production rifles and maltby england b.a. rifles all have traveled the world a few times by now but by 1942-1946 new rifles that ended up in india or Egypt and Australia lots show these "updates " wire wraps black spray paint or cooked parts to blacken them along with ishy screws... I'm not sure any of those modifications were true to British armour documents/ recommendation of the time. These seem field jobs. That certainly adds intrigue and value... I do restoration work on no.4mk1 rifles, any sporterized rifle I can find with good metal left of receiver and good Mark's charging bridge intact .. I try to acquire or give advice to bringing it back to full wood and its former military glory... each one speaks a history... I cried when you mentioned lugers... passed down to me and stolen in a safe in a storage unit a few years ago... 1942 byf luger with matching mags tool and holster . All numbers match 2117 or 2817 2217 idk i couldn't verify serial number to even file report... 18 years I kept her lock and key. Blonde grips and blue metal. Black plastic mag bases not wood waffen stamped but I traced it as being issued to a police Gestapo unit. Stolen from storage unit in cross lanes west Virginia between March- April of 4 years ago that summer we drove to Orlando to Disney.. I missed the byf luger the whole trip and till this day because it belongs in museum or in the hands of that german police man's family today. The thought twists my stomach. I fired that p08 on occasion didn't bring her out much but my collection now has almost equally beautiful Finnish capture rifles and other neat shooters 1915- 20's to 30s and ww2 iconic models.. but I do love building/refinishing no.4mk1 rifles my latest a 45 longbranch and 42 savage takes love to keep these old gals properly cared for. Thanks for the video I've never had a k98 in my hands but since a boy I've always wanted one.
My byf luger does have two very distinctive hand engraved numbers on the frame in to different places... the numbers aren't matching each other nor correlate to German stamps on the pistol. I do have old pictures of the pistol. Keep your eyes out I would definitely give reward no questions asked. But a skinny body definitely got in through the top of the unit and also took a 527 s&w nickel plated .357 magnum. A thousand dollar gun by itself..
Years ago I saw online pictures of a byf luger 2××× serial range just over 190 units produced since mine. ... I've since wanted to maybe buy a swiss one or ww1 or 30's p08 but will never be what I had, a '42 98 percent condition mags tool holster that belongs in a museum... good luck right...
I don't agree with the dust cover on the Ariska.. there is a video that shows Imperial troops surrendering at the end of the war and "every" rifle had its dust cover.. especially at the 1:26 mark. Surrender of Japanese troops - UA-cam
Feel free to contact me I'm familiar with mab d , Spanish astra 400, cz52, sks, early nagant, a5s and copys of the auto gun I'm delving in heavily. Bm59 a neat battle rifle. I dont have much building experience with 1911 or m1 garand or 1908 Springfield... all out of my price range as young man 20 years ago.
14:52 this "thing" made ba Walther is SO incredibly cool!
LOVE to see those "last ditch", THANKS for showing!!
Tom, as a military weapons enthusiast and collector, I thoroughly enjoy your encyclopedic knowledge and thoughtful presentations. Thank you!
The second I saw the white gloves, I knew it would be a good one. Outstanding!
That postal service rifle is awesome. I love seeing oddball stuff like that.
I had one of those No 1 MkIII's. You'd fire the grenade with the butt on the ground, not on the shoulder. And of course would take off the launcher when using as a regular rifle.
Looking to start my Walther PP & PPK collecting , great information, Thanks
FastFreddie.
You're right about the Volksturm rifle with the MP44 magazine having been built solely in semiauto.
Very interesting, thanks!

Thank,s
That second to last grey grip is amazing. Want one of those bad.
K date. You just found gold.
The conversion kit is for 4mm m20 ammo. För gallery shooting (indoor), effectively a powder driven airgun.
greetings, great satisfaction to touch those historic weapons
I am envious
If you found a time machine and you're going back to get rifles and handguns from the 30s and bringing them back, we won't complain if you take us too..
I you would help us small collectors get a A-1 Garand rifle ,I would appreciate the help!!!!

You act like you know what I do now for fun-?
So know that you have the awesome 1934 Sauer K date K98K does that mean your gonna sell me the beautiful mountain carbine ?
Tom you are so kind !
Walk in Saturday. Walk in Everyday
This dude is probably 55ish and still retains his boyish face. I'm an ugly bastard. 😂😂😂
Enjoy your vids Tom. Thank you for sharing what some of us would never otherwise get a chance to see.
One small correction...the number marking on the last rifle is NOT 99..it is a Type 2 Japanese paratrooper rifle.
Tom you and company have made Legacy the best in the USA. Thanks to you and staff for bringing the history as well as the weapons. 👏🇺🇸
Spendy as fk tho. Bought guns for like a quarter he sells them at, won’t say who tho lol
I want that Arisaka paratrooper model. I’ve been looking for one for quite some time. I will look into your listing.
Simpson Ltd has one for a good price at the moment
I want! Child 🙄
@@offdeadeye88 I just purchased a rifle from them , it wasn’t the Arisaka , though I would like to get one

Did you get in an Astra model 600 or an earlier Campo Giro Tom?
Im looking for an astra falcon myself in 22lr.
Interesting the Walter's didn't have lanyard ring on heel, indicative of commercial production... most any and every military model pistols from any nation 20's 30's to 50s all has a lanyard ring on the heel or mag.
Outstanding video and presentation.
1) Tom posts a video 2) I click "like" 3) I then watch the video

toms treating us again
Nice
Man, how it sucks to be poor.
I hear you brother 🐶
What does RC under crown marking mean for a wwi Erfurt Luger?
I believe that is a rework marking
I managed to snag a Radom WZ with its Bayonet its a very cool and rare gun.. your's is the only other I've seen.
Just show the STG44 every week period !
So what was the Carbine with the attached bayonet ? You just called it a Soviet style.... soviet style what ? There never was really any angle that gave me an idea what it was only the barrel and sort of top down views so I couldn't see what it even was. So was it a Mosin ? I just couldn't see
It's a model 44
It is a Mosin Nagant M44 Carbine , in their 7.62x54R caliber , they have a stout recoil when shooting
Love the Chinese mak
good news ...
Ooohhh my the east german PP !
VG 1 is no walther made they were made by gustloff for what ive seen , by far that is one in best condition ever.cheers!
Japanese Type "I" like in "eye" not "one"..
Yep, "I" as in Italian. Total U.S collector vernacular.

Gotta say you’re cutting it close with the polish laborers used to create the last minute quasi stermgaver. It was slave labor anyway you cut it.
Yeah. Tough topic. I know they were not happy to be there.
