Please help -
I am looking for a nice 1914 to purchase and I am considering this piece currently on gunbroker. At first glance it appears to be a nice 98% or so gun, but a closer look revealed many questions in my mind. I present them here now for your "expert" opinions. I want to know is this a legitimate Nazi rework, a one-of kind orphan, or a fake? And is it worth the asking price of $1850? http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...Item=350759864 My concerns : 1. Barrel has been replaced & renumbered 2. Trigger does not match 3. Are the extra stamps on rt side correct? The "cactus" stamp is set back just far enough, as if to make room for the "WaA66" stamp. 4. There is virtually no wear on typical wear areas, such as: - rear of frame where the toggle hits it, - on top of the sideplate where sear safety rubs, - front toggle hinge - stock lug 5. Sear safety pin is blued, which is wrong? 6. Toggle axle retaining pin is sticking up and looks blued? 7. Sear spring looks rust blued (like an Erfurt), not fire blued. Yet there are halos on toggle parts (and barrel?) - how can this be if it was reblued? - Geo |
