1917 long barrel

man-o-war · 01-28-2013, 01:47 PM

I will get some close up photos and put them up in few days, was not really sure what to focus on other than the obvious numbers and stamps. I will ask family and try to learn more, but from what I have been told all my life it's a war trophy and it even spent number of years in "museum of liberation" in the town where grandpa was born and that his troops liberated on their way up towards Belgrade

The barrel is 8" long, and it has this brownish hue in the finish towards the front half, different that the hue on the rest of the gun. It's hard to capture with crappy cell phone cam
