Whilst I had the camera out and the safe open I took a few pictures of my Wehrmanngewehr which I'm sure you'll agree is a very nice example.

It is made on a Mauser receiver dated 1915, with a fixed five round magazine and is an all matching piece in excellent plus condition. I really like the woodwork on this rifle which wouldn't look out of place on a custom made piece!
Like my S/42G K98 this is a live rifle which has not been deactivated. However as it is chambered in what the Home Office consider to be an obsolete round, namely the 8.15mm, it is free from Section 1 legislation and may be held without being entered on an FAC.
