Hermann Aurich Heeres Flak

[Thomas Durante]

Hi guys,

Well, I rarely say this but I have found a few pieces "out of the woodwork" from an ad in the paper! As far as I can tell, this is an original Aurich, but would like to hear some other opinions for you guys that follow these more closely than I do.

All the original lacquer is in place and here are the dimensions, which match very closely to Marc's book:

Height = 60.18 mm
Widtch = 44.76 mm
Weight = 29.1 grams

Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks

Tom

Hi Tom, I am no expert, but with the book next to me it looks good to me

If ever the term mint applied I'd say right about now would be a good time.

Tom,

It looks like the spittin' image of an original mint Aurich, ...but in much nicer condition. What a find!!! Happy for you.

[Thomas Durante]

Thanks guys! I agree, she is in mint condition and as right as can be.

I think I am now on Marc's sh1t list

I love flaks too, Tom. I'm still green with envy! IN MINT CONDITION, NO LESS! What a deal!

Nice grab Tom , looks identical to mine. Funny, sounds like we both encountered ours unexpectedly. Came across mine while I was buying a K98 at a gun shop

Man that's a cool bird up top. This got me motivated to post some pics of mine after the recommended Vaseline treatment.

Hi guys,

Thanks for all the great replies, I am VERY happy and excited to have an original Aurich flak, let alone to find it in a vet grouping!

Nellis, here is a link to the entire group find for those interested. I am still picking my way through it and enjoying the research of all the items:
