and a cigarette tin. Eric

I put the question of matching gun & sled to a chum he sent me these photos of a relic 1917 dated gun also I've noticed an 08 heavy won't necessarily immediately fit another mount because of variations in the jacket trunnions on going... There is an interesting account of a gunner saying they soon as leave the mount in the rear lines and use trench mounts and collectors referring to "Somme" and "Verdun salient" mounts made it workshops as a way to id them, when they camoed must have been easy to pick out 'our sled' no two are exactly alike.

Helms sell for more in Europe I don't quite understand anyway I hate talking about money and how much something is worth. Kat "No not money that's just pieces of paper" Best Eric

Hi Chris I think your right for jammed cases the ring stop on the shaft is important to stop from going to far and breaking the rifle ejection pawl, whats the length to the stop? Eric

Thanks Gents for the kind comments I love it maybe I'll build up a mannequin again this summer. Eric

Hello Don Made back when we were very strict on authenticity for historical events, had backing plates but when they showed up the dealer did something to the rear so they couldn't be sold as original, two types this is one. I purchased two this is the only one I've left (m15 tunic) the other broke up on my m10 rolling around or snagged on wire Lol! Best Eric ps I didn't know you had THAT many holy smoke, beautiful.

Wonderful items Here's something nobody has told me what it is. A German Gent told me it was his grandfathers dugout 'soot' pipe W1 that's it the language barrier got in the way further. Eric

Maybe the top was frozen and he wanted to get at the schnapps. Eric -
It was a nudge actually I tried to sell a couple of years ago but nobody wanted now its not for sale, I like all the repairs, things filthy had dirt in the pockets but haven't the heart to thoroughly clean it. Eric

Chris You want to just make a logged walled pit for a mortar? An underground bunker is a LOT of work especially 4 room jobs, it nearly killed me the 'main room' oak roof beams each weighted 250-300lb the front door 200 for example. Best Eric

Interior of Bluse Regards Eric
-
Late war Bluse with Schlaufen Id'd to soldier 3rd company 8th Bayr Infantry Regiment and appears to be marked B.A.I 1917 but the right side of the stamp mark is faint. Strange area size marked I've not seen before on a Tunic.
