Hey folks, just picked up the last of my grandfather's collection that my dad inherited when gramps died. Some of you may remember the FN Model 1910 I posted about a couple weeks ago. Well, the entire collection is now in my hands.
Starting from the top down
1.Springfield Model 1899 in 30-40 Krag. Not the original stock. Replaced long before I was born. Still works flawlessly. Smoothest bolt ever.
2. 7.7mm last ditch Arisaka rifle and yes, the mum is intact Notice that awesome nailed-on wood butt plate.
3.A pair of pistols. One is a Ruger Standard (mk1) and the other is a Colt DA-38 in .38 Colt. I do have the original bakelite Colt grips
4. A machine made sword issued to Japanese officers in WWII.
5. 6.5mm Arisaka carbine (type 44?). The bayonet mount was ground off though.
6. A Yugo Mauser M98 (captured German action rifle rearsenaled by the Yugos)obviously not the original stock.
7. Not a war bring-back but a Marlin Model 39 that was old when my dad learned to shoot with it. Yes fokls a Model 39, not 39A.
