      Looks to be a private sporting weapon... must kick like a mule when you fire it. I imagine it had a tall monopod?

      Fantastic. In 50 years you are going to be the "old guy with all the war souveniers"... just like the old WW2 vets with suitcases of knights crosses, SS Cammo smocks and panzer wrappers :lol: Wish I had brought back nice goodies, everything I ever found I traded for old german stuff, which is now long gone... :blush:
