If so I'll send the pictures via email.

Brian,
Thank you but Ed has my Pics already and is going to post them. I see you have K98 as part of your email.
I have some rare 98k's and 98k related items, do you know of any good 98k forums?
Thanks again,
Hessian

Hi All,

A dealer over here in England is advertising a shed-load of K.98s which were supposedly captured by the Russians and refurbished by Russian armouries, and since the war have been sitting in storage somewhere.(all have been deactivated for the U.K. market)

This dealer also has a large shipment of MG.34.s on the way......

Regards,

Steve.

Hello,
I have two photo's of the inside of the "salt mines" if a kind person would like to post them for me.

There’s already a boatload of RC Kar rifles in this country, and they are easy to buy, with lots of codes available. You don’t have to go to Britain and buy a deactivated one from some … (expletives deleted) …who butchered them to comply with some preposterous law were apparently they are trying to make their country safer for burglars: (http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewForeignBu...20030508e.html). Here are a few sellers:

Even if there are 80 FG42 rifles in some salt mine in the Ukraine, you’d never be able to import them into the States, even if they were made semi-auto. I’m sure even the kid who captured Saddam’s pistol or revolver is going to have a hard time getting that goldmine home.

Heydrich,
Thank you for the links! I'm not wanting to import the FG42's as complete rifles... I want to strip them of all parts and bring them to the States minus their receivers.
Then put them on fake receivers and some parts kits to FG42 owners.

I would really like to see the photos showing the inside of these gun-filled tunnel "salt mines" that were mentioned.

Concerning unissued Lugers in some (descriptive adjective deleted by the admin-JS) salt mine in Ukraine - Can you spell Urban Legend?

send your photos to lugerforum@yahoo.com and I will post them when I can grab a minute...

Hey, IMA and that knife company just found a cache of 19th century Brit rifles in Nepal. Not unissued maybe but who'd of thunk it?

Personally I have no doubt that additional Lugers and other captured weapons still exist in the old East Bloc countries. But seeing a little photo evidence would sure be nice....

Photos sent to me by Hessian...Cheers... http://forums.lugerforum.com/lfupload/sol3.jpg http://forums.lugerforum.com/lfupload/sol4.jpg

Once in a Soviet awareness class (AFROTC,mid 70's) we were told the Russians never throw anything away. They keep surplus weapons etc for future use.

"Future use" of collectible Lugers? Not these days. Any known valuable commodity would be on the market. Sell, sell, sell!!! Show them the money. Ukrainians, Russians, and everyone else in the former Soviet Union are all aware of the value of vintage Lugers. Nobody should fool themselves into thinking that minty Lugers, in great numbers, are being kept off the international collectible arms market. Money is king in Ukraine and Russia!

Hessian, are you sure that’s an FG42? Kind of looks like a hot air balloon to me...

Heydrich,
I should have known that I could not sneak it past you... maybe we could meet someday I also live in Oregon.
Kind regards,
Der Hessian

Gentlemen, can I enquire about buying some of the russian parts without serial numbers taht were mentioned? I'm in need of some cheap parts such as a sideplate, trigger, axle pin etc. I'm from the UK and I'm trying to repair a very pitted and sad looking deactivated P08 that I've got. It's not worth much but its good for reenacting.
Many thanks
Ben

Ben, I doubt that you'll find any unnumbered original parts available here or in Europe, without paying a large premium (at least double for Mauser marked armour's spare parts). I do have some Russian or DDR renumbered original DWM & Mauser side plates that are relatively cheap. HESSIAN: Nice photos of the salt caves. DAN44 During the cold war, the Russians could suppy these pistols to communist sympathising groups such as the Sandanistas, with "plausable deniability". As Sgt. Schultz always said "We know nothing" about these WW2 German guns. TH

I told you!
 

Hello,

Well for all the people who doubted me, on my presentation of items stored in the "salt mine" I now present you with more proof of my claims.

http://www.moscowtimes.ru/stories/2005/01/20/002.html

Whats funny is that all the time I have been selling these items to forum members all along!

To those who were rude in emails and accused me of making things up my question to you is, " How does the Crow taste"

I will now go back to selling more items:p

Regards,
Hessian

Gentleman tell me what I am doing wrong .I can get no pictures from the above site. Either by clicking on it, or entering the site.

From the aritcle, is this most telling sentance.

Ed,
I also added another link to the better article, try that one for giggles.
Hessian

LIKE THIS? ;)

Did I miss something? In these articles I did not read anything about crates of Lugers.



Uh, you know I don't really care, but who made lugers and P38's the last 10 years?

Mauser and Walther (among othes I know) ...

Thank you Hessian ,I was able to get into the site this time.
