I'm a relatively new collector, started in about 2017. 2020 and this year have been pretty slow so far in terms of new acquisitions. I'm sitting on a good amount of Mauser rifles. I believe 16 or so of these rifles saw service in WW1 or WW2, the majority being WW2. All the Czech and German rifles definitely saw service in WW2 as the Czech Mauser rifles I own are either German depot rebuilds (i.e. The Germans built new rifles using leftover VZ-98/VZ-23 receivers) or show wartime modifications. The Germans put a lot of beutewaffen or captured weapons into service as their industries rarely were able to keep up with the ever expanding demands of the Wehrmacht.

Cheers, seems like there is a few more I haven't photographed, been too busy.

A lot of nice guns in this thread, I think these "side-discussion areas" get over looked, sadly.
