I went there before, was coming here to check and see if anyone had any other site with maybe a better price.

I would imagine the gun itself is rare. So I honestly could think of Gun Broker.  Easy way to find out is to find any WW1 reenactors (trying to think a popular by popular i mean, most numbered reenactor that reenact proper time period that use Lebel rifle)

Can't lance like a man till you lance with a Mosin!

[DeoVindice61]

Nope, not with my Reich armor. I can take on a Maus!

Oh this guy i was talking with does Russian volunteers in German service, Cossacks. Was telling me about the history about bikes in use.


Apparently the Wehrmacht confiscated 2,000,000 Bikes in Netherlands.  I declare this bike is to be known as "Duuring's Bike"   confiscated by Grenadier Dietrich Lang of 275th Infanterie. BAM.

Yeah that's true. We still make jokes about it.

In the early 90s, when my grandfather made a mighty fall from some stairs, he was transported to hospital. A female doctor from German descent was on duty and after she said something, with her heavy accent, my grandfather stopped her mid-sentence by holding up his hand, and said: 'First, I'd like my bike back'.
