Thanks for the replies everyone, you've all been very helpful.

Thanks! That's interesting. Is there any value to these? I looked around and don't see many for sale. As for the lack of import marking, does that mean this was some sort of bring-back or perhaps...

Hello,

I have come across the pictured TT-33. I have very limited experience with these firearms so I wanted to see if anyone here can determine exactly what this is.

Thanks in advance.

First of all, thanks to everyone for the replies. BAR, the P08 top is just a spare, an Erfurt commercial I believe.

Johnny, thanks for the info, I had run into the same thing that you mentioned,...

Hello,

I have an opportunity to purchase a 1914 DWM LP08. I believe it is authentic, however, as I know these are uncommon, I wanted to post it to get some opinions.

Additionally, it is in...

Sorry, I meant bolt handle. And it is due to the rarity of the rifle that I'm considering restoring it, but I was concerned, as Peter brought up, with the idea of bending something back that has...

Hello,

I'm looking at a Type 2 Arisaka paratrooper rifle, it has the mum and all numbers match. Unfortunately, it has been sporterized. The sporterization goes as far as bending the bolt to...

Well, you all pretty much confirmed my thoughts. Thanks to you all.

Hello,

I have been offered this LP08, but I have many suspicions about it, specifically the lack of maker and the sloppy serial numbers just to start. But I know there are many Luger experts here...

Thank you for your help, your estimates are at about what I was thinking but couldn't easily confirm it.

Hello,

I know a little about this carbine, the FAT cartouche is for an arsenal, Fabricca Armi de Terni (excuse my poor Italian) that it is USGI though not a "perfect" match of all the same...

Thanks everyone! I ended up passing on it, not my area of collecting interest at the moment.

Hello,

Can anyone give me any information on this? Anything will be helpful, such as what model it is or even an approximate value, but once I know the model I can learn more about it. It is...

Bruce, while the price for the P38 I was offered may be technically "fair" or a good deal, that is considering what the item is. It was in poor condition and it was not worth it to me to spend that...

Aragorn,

For that price I would definitely pass it up. I had an opportunity to buy a matching one and holster for $550 (see it here: Evaluating this AC43 P38) and I took it to get evaluated at...

Hello,

I am being offered a model 1859 Sharps and Hankins Navy Carbine, the seller describes it as .52 caliber rimfire and still having the leather wrap around the barrel, although in poor...

Hello,

A WWII veteran showed me this, he mailed it back from Japan. He said he removed it directly from a Japanese military depot rack full of these. Its in beautiful shape, as long as the bolt is...

Hello,

I just came from a WWII veteran's house where I looked at two Arisakas, this T38 and a T38 carbine. I'll post another thread for the carbine because its worth looking at. Anyway, the...

Homer, thank you very much! I'm very grateful for all the help you gave me with this rifle.

Jmoore, very nice rifle! Is there any significance or meaning to this lack of MD marking? Possibly a measure to speed wartime production?

P.S. jmoore, do you know what the "5" means on the top of...

Thanks! I have been looking around at other examples, and I have not seen any similar rifles that don't have a military district marking. Can anyone shed any light on this?

Hello,

I recently purchased this 1941 No. 1 Mk. III*, thanks to help evaluating it by the members here. All serial numbers match, and the bolt and receiver assembly numbers do as well. The forend...

Yes, the bore is pretty rough. No import marks. What I was thinking of when I said the condition wasn't too good was the wear on the frame, especially on the sides of the trigger guard and front of...

Hello,

I have been offered this AC43 P38 along with 2 correct period magazines, waffenamt marked (but not both 359 for Walther) and a soft shell holster. I am basically looking for your opinions...
