This piece is from the late Craig Brown collection. The description said "depot rework," with an estimate of $600-800, but I think it is all-but depot matching. Excellent condition, and wide variety of Imperial, Nazi, armorer's parts and different manufacturers. I come up with 17 different parts makers/time periods.
