    1. Here's the Type 30 Arisaka rifle for comparision.

      I'll keep looking for that arsenal mark.

      Perhaps there are members who know a lot more about Japanese riles who read this post. I am wondering if the Japanese sold Arisaka rifles to any other countries and the mark may have been put on those bayonets. I'm "fishing" now. :unsure:

      Cheers :cheers:

      Other contrys Japan sold rifles to was Siam, Mexico and Great Britain ( GB, 2 types of rifles and one type of carbine). The last ones ended up in Russia. A lot of these can still be found in Finland. Mexico and I think Siam produced their own bayonets.

    2. Hi Kjell,

      I really like your collection especially the 1896 "Red 9 Broomhandle" Mauser. That and the Luger are sweet handguns.

      I think it's funny that the Broomhandle style is still used in movies like Star Wars with odds and ends attached to reresent a futuristic weapon when it actually came out at the end of the 1800s. :lol:

      Thanks for an interesting post.

      Cheers :cheers:

      Hi Brian, glade you liked my collection ! Used to have more Lugers, but all are gone. Fortunately there are no shortage of Lugers here. I is one of the most common handguns to get hold of, for a reasonable price.

      The use of Broomhandles and other authentic weapons in sci-fi movies, don?t get me started... but I agree it is kind of funny.

      Have added a few more pictures of the Mauser.

    3. That is an incredible piece! Is it fully operational?

      Thanks Paul! Yes, all my guns are in OK :) Have used this very little lately, due to shortage of ammunition. I still have 300-400 DDR produced cartridges left but.... Saving them for a rainy day, or until someone start producing again.
