Hi guys,
When I saw the poor rests of this TM08 with Schutzkappe from Verdun it was mandatory to buy it.
The fact that the dust cover is still present means to me that the Sturmtruppen soldier that was carrying it did not have good time. You know without dust cover it should be fine, just fire and lost on the field but with the Schutzkappeâ?¦

Nice piece of history; unfortunately it is difficult to manage being completely rust and very fragile.
It is enough to press with the fingers to completely destroy it.

Cheers,
Mauro
