Only things I have are a Moisin, actually made in 1933 or so from what i can tell, a Spanish Civil War issue from what i can tell. But WWI tech.
And an 1893 Argentine Mauser. Certainly not used in WWI but of the period. So yeah, I got nothing.

I have quite a bit of Mosins that were used during WW1. Mostly all of them ended up in Finland. I won't post them. Most of my other WW1 firearms, I've sold (M1917, Gew98, Belgian 89/36, M91 Carcano, Type 30 Arisaka, 1903 Springfield Mark 1, and two Enfields). I currently own a 1904 dated Mk1*** Enfield, 1918 No1 MkIII* (NRF Peddle Scheme), and a M1895 Nagant revolver that was later used as a training revolver (as noted by the ?? marking on the side plate). A few neat items I sold were a portrait of a German soldier, and a British Spine Pad (for use in hot climates). I did keep a British ID tag made of brass.

Here is a 1916 dated Mosin Dragoon. It's a little odd as the stock has no crossbolt (a rifle made in 1916 would have had the crossbolt). So, it's a later rifle with a pre-1909 stock. It has the 2nd pattern Dragoon handguard, and a cleaning rod with an odd head. It isn't Finn marked and has no import stamp.

Took this pic tonight.
Shoots pretty good, and is 100% reliable. Military contract GU Spanish Ruby. I need to get more mags.  Attached FileI know there aren't too many out there, it could be my grandfather's that he regretted pawning after the war. I picked it up in a local pawn shop near where he lived for $150. He never described it in great detail, but it was a 32acp.  Attached FileI bent the front sight straight after shooting this group. Still haven't tested it again to see if I got it right. |

Belonged to my grandparents' next door neighbor when I was a kid. I spent summers at their house and sometimes after dinner I'd go over and watch a baseball game with him and he'd talk about growing up in the area in the early 1900s and what he did after the war. Never talked about the war when I was around. My grandfather helped him get compensation for being gassed in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, so he gave him his uniform. When my grandfather passed a few years ago I got it. I also have his brother's flag. His brother died in a hospital in France and is buried in the American cemetery at Suresnes. I don't think it was the actual flag used in his funeral, I doubt they shipped those home like that, this would have been given to his parents though. |
