Some time ago prior to the Death of Sam Cummings ( Former Pres. and owner of interarms ) I was allowed to buy firearms that I wanted from his personal collection ( I still have the massive list... that seems to never end ).
Well I saw this Polish 1930 K29 and while I really had not much interest in it I added it to my selection of weapons to be purchased. When it arrived to my surprise and delight I found these nicely done Polish and German markings.
To make a long story short its history is that it was captured and sent to the "Simson" company and inspected hence the "Su52" stock disc stamp and then it received a WaAmpt 26 stamp on the opposite side stock disc. Then this rifle and others were re-issued to German troops ( the majority to the Waffen SS ).
Beyond the condition of the rifle two nice items are the original cleaning rod and sling. This Infantry version of the K29 is one of my favorite rifles simply due to its "story" that it tells, I hope forum members also find it interesting.
