Today I was with my WW2 unit out in western Mass working on our newly acquired 1941 Ford 2-ton truck for our impression. I learned earlier that Ford had a plant In Cologne, and it actually supplied 1/3 of all the trucks used by the Wehrmacht. We were reconfiguring the bed today. Needs a few things, but not much.
The truck, though is not the reason for the post. In the unit member’s garage is a large wooden gun cabinet; and I saw this peeking out - a matched 1917 Oberspree/Kornbusch Gew98. This is the rarest of all Gew98 makers in WW1. He told me he paid $100 for it years ago.
Sweet.

Wouldn’t mind the truck either.
