My WWI collection

[Eaglelord17]

So I felt I would give a update as I was doing some cleaning, organizing, and gunsmithing today. Here is where it stands at the moment, doing a decent job of growing in recent months.



From the top down
Gewehr 88/M13, made in 1894 by Steyr, used by Austria-Hungary in WWI
Gewehr 88S/M13, made in 1890 by Spandau, used by Imperial Germany then given to Austria-Hungary in WWI
Gewehr 88/05, made in 1891 by Loewe, used by Imperial Germany then given to the Ottoman Empire
Bulgarian M03 (M95), made in Steyr in 1903, used by Bulgaria
Bulgarian M03 (M95), made in Steyr in 1903, used by Bulgaria this one is in just about as close to original condition one can be in
Berthier M1907/15, made in 1916 by St. Etienne, used by France
Mosin Nagant M91 Infantry Rifle, made in 1895 by Tula, this one ended up as a Finnish Capture/owned rifle (like most original M91s seen), used by Imperial Russia
Carcano M91 Infantry Rifle, made in 1918 at Terni, used by Italy
M1904 Mauser-Vergueiro, made by DWM sometime between 1904 and 1908. Used by the Portuguese then given to the British and used by the Union Defense Force in South Africa to fight the Germans
SMLE Mk. III, made in 1912 by BSA, used by the British then post-WWI given to the Australians
P14*, made in 1916 by Remington, used by the British

For the bayonets from the top down there is
a 88/98/05 ersatz bayonet
a M95 bayonet
a 1886 Lebel bayonet
a 1886/15 Lebel bayonet
a M91 Russian bayonet
a M91 Carcano bayonet
a M1904 Portuguese bayonet
and a P07 bayonet

Overall I am starting to get to the point where the price really starts to climb and the scarcity greatly increases for WWI main issued rifles so it might be a while before I have any significant update.
