Post by: vlim on May 08, 2013, 11:03:00 AM

This one arrived today after 4 months of paper work :)
A nice looking M1914 with a 1920 property marking and a L.M.210. Landjägerei Münster police marking.

If a gun has to cross a border over here, one can expect to wait for approx. 3 months at least nowadays.
Government funding cutbacks on all levels means there is now just 1 guy handling all the paperwork for gun imports and exports over here. So it takes a minimum of 6 weeks to get the import permit, then the seller needs to obtain his export permit, which also differs from location to location.

Nice gun and good work - is the mag number match?

Yes, it has the same '210' property marking.

Yes; very nice.   Why did the early 1914s have the milled out section?   And, why did they drop the serrated front site later on?  thanks

Impressive to say the least!   It was worth the wait, I am sure.
