Probably around spring i will be able to compile everything as I still have a few boxes I will not be able to get to for awhile that have alot of the smaller stuff, it is well buried in and amongst my stuff but I will update periodically.

I am mostly inquiring about the front sight, as you have stated thee seem to be not to many of the rear ones out there or any appreciable fakery as of yet. I had been conned on a few fakes awhile back and it hurt me quite a bit in the pocket book and I want to get an original but I am trying to make...

yepper everything is WWII in those pics. Thanks, it took me along time and a lot of international travelling to find those items in the condition that they are in most of the time what I saw was in far less than perfect shape... I just realized that My E-tin is missing a few items and put in the wro...

Here are some more photos that I had in the MG34 section. Kleinen Waffenwerkzeugsatz: I believe it to be unissued. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/KMFDM21/MG/IMG_0543-1.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/KMFDM21/MG/IMG_0544-1.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/KMFDM21/MG/IM...

Here is a can I picked up some time ago with a bunch of German stuff but not really sure on who made it. I have heard it was older German, Finnish or even Norwegian; does anybody know for sure? It is the same height and width as a 34 ammo can but is about 1/3" - 1/2" less long: http://farm9.staticfl...

More stuff from digging through the collection it would seem I am still missing quite a bit (it must be elsewhere)- Here in this photo we have: 6 petro/oel and winter oil tins, 4 more Kleinen Waffenwerkzeugsatz, 3 more petrobuechse for MG-42, 1 battery box for MGZ, a few cloth gunners pouches, oil c...

Thanks, I have been hanging onto this stuff for awhile-and finally am starting to get it all together for cataloging purposes. I have stuff spread all over the place and I finally decided to start photographing it and share some of my findings with you all here. I still have a few more items to go t...

Here are are few items from my collection that I have managed to dig up (MG-34 is not really my interest though-I'm more of a MG-42 guy. I am also sharing some of the photos that I used in the MG-42 section fpr another post.) Kleinen Waffenwerkzeugsatz: http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w195/KMFDM2...

How can edit my original post to fix spelling errors and add more photos and fix some others?

Here are a few things I finally dug out of boxes and decided to photograph, as I dig out more of my collection I will add more photos MG 34/42 Werkzeugkiste kleinen Waffenwerkzeugsatz: Some other Waffenwerkzeugsatz: The one on the right is painted gray (I was told this is Luftwsaffe?) http://i176.ph...

I have a question:

GHow does one spot a fake MG42 AA sight what should one look for?

Yes I understand your points, but still they are fakes and not worth the steel they are made out of. I would not trust them for checking anything-because I would be willing to guess there were probably no original blueprints used so the gage tolerances were probably unknown and guessed at. With an e...

I just purchased one of these myself and went to a German collector friend of mine who warned me that 99% of these gages are fake the waffenamt is not correct......

Lots of fakes out there lately, a German collector friend of mine recently told me that if is worth money it is being faked in Poland and the eastern European countries. Quite a few bogus marked extractor removers out there with waffenamts and all. Quite a few of the Kaliberzylinders and Verschlussa...

Yes, I agree the M240 is not a bad design at all, overall an excellent design. I myself still prefer the MG3. The M240 is a very durable well thought out and extremely reliable design. I don't like having to carry the M240 further than to my humvee though. It is a brick in the carrying arena but it ...

Be careful: they are faking those alot and StahlPatrone (headspace gages) also lately. I have seen alot of fakes available lately. I almost bought one until a German collector friend of mine said that most that you see for sale nowadays are faked and said the one I was about to buy was most assuredl...
