Count the lugers and accessories on this photo:
![]() Link to a larger version of the photo: http://forum.lugerforum.com/lfupload/cleaning2.jpg Also note the standard cleaning kit on the table. This set contained the oil bottle, a pull chain, a K98 takedown tool, wire brushes and cleaning material. The 'Reinigungsger�¤t 34' was used not only for the K98 but also for the handguns, including the P08. ![]() Use of the Reinigungsger�¤t 34 was described in the document H.Dv. 255 (Heeres Dienstvorschrift 255) / L. Dv. 355 (Luftwaffe Dienstvorschrift 405). The documents point toward a separate cleaning instruction document for the Reinigungsger�¤t 34. (D. 110 as it is called in the H.Dv. 255). H.Dv. 256 / M.Dv.Nr. 378 / L.Dv. 409 describes the use of the Reinigungsger�¤t 34 and the Reinigungsger�¤t 34 for 22lr training sets. |

I would be nervous about the smaller man pointing the muzzle my way...
And I usually do not like to point a muzzle down at my own foot when cleaning or taking apart... ![]() ![]() |

Look like pilots to me, with wings on collars. I wonder how many know they are cleaning a $20K or higher Krieghoff rig.

Hi,
I agree they're luftwaffe. But judging from the collar bagde they're 'flieger' or 'jaeger', the lowest luftwaffe rank. But, them being Luftwaffe, there's a great chance that they are cleaning John D. 's Krieghoff collection here ![]() |
