Size matters

Some quick (and pretty bad, sorry 'bout that) camera shots of some new acquisitions:

The Mauser Messzeug GmbH sign has been removed after the merger of Mauser Messzeug with the Austrian based Krauseco tooling company and has been 'hanging about'.

The 32-Round P08 magazine is an interesting item. Modeled after the East-German variation of the Haenel magazines, probably using original tools or leftover lenghts of tube, these were probably made by some German gun smith a number of years ago. Enough details vary to see that it was not constructed using original magazines as a basis.

The 1953-ish P08 is just used to show the size and fit of the magazine.

Neat-o! Load it on Sunday and shoot it all week.

Gerben..VERY cool! Both items are fascinating. Only in Europe!

I am certain that there are many of us that would be happy to add either of these items to their collection. I might offend some collectors because I would put a bright polish the bronze Mauser sign.

Hey Gerben, Those are pretty cool. I really like the bronze plate.
