Catches of the day

[JuergenG]

After a 100 miles drive I came home with these:

Mauser P.08 S/42 1936, matching except mag, West German re-proof


Mauser C-96 of 1918, matching except grip panels (I should find a contemporary pair in the basement)


and brokered this puppy to a friend and fellow collector:

M1D, SA 3,3M serial, reworked and given to Denmark


Enjoy! I do.....

100 miles? Not worth it.

I'm not into these types of guns, but they are very nice. Good scores!

 

[DitchDigger]

Nice addition to the collection

 

[martin08]

You must be using the right bait for your catches!

Is the C-96 in 7.63 or 9mm?

 

[JuergenG]

She's a model 1912 in 7.63

I thought you spoke kM over there? I like the broomhandle.

It was a trick to see if anyone would ask about the 9mm!

 

[JuergenG]

Thanks! I'm unfortunately not swimming in Euros[sad2] but they didn't break the bank either.

Nice. They dewat, or you a rare lucky individual who are able to have live ones there?

 

[JuergenG]

Dewat? No friggin' way!
I hold collectors permits and the only restrictions are a) the gun must fit into the 'theme' of the permit (i.e. German issued and captured firearms of a certain time period/war/maker/design etc.), b) a dwindling bank account and c) limited storage space.
It ain't too easy to obtain these permits, but it's very doable.

 

[Maninblue1861]

Awesome! Extra points . Was ready to cry if said the m1d, ect were deactivated. What's the going rate for a live m1d over there if don't mind me asking?

After i read the dewat comment, I was very much looking forward to this response.

This one went for € 1k, just about $ 1,350; quite a deal. I see them going for over € 1.3k . Gas tube needs to be replaced b/c of the ground off bayo lug (old regulation which is no longer in place) and a T-37 flash hider added. The scope is an original M-84.

Great minds think alike

Wow, nice pickups. I always wanted a C96. Very interesting handgun design. There's only one pin in the entire gun!

That's way cheaper than we can get them and they are not totally rare here. Nice buy. I'll take all 3.


By the way, I think majspud was talking about kilometers and not instead of miles.
