    Nicest WWI trench you will ever see

    Too bad I can't afford it.

    And it is NOT 1919. It is WWI issue.

      Most WWI trench guns are not marked. This is totally correct.

          Correct on the markings. I was told the ones to worry about are those that are marked.

          Love to have it. I wonder how many "honey-do's" it'd take to convince the wife that I NEED it?
          When I hear a politician use the words "common sense" in relation to firearms, I prepare myself to hear something really stupid.

            By condition it looks like an "Ivanhoe" gun, anyone check the serial number in Canfield's book?

                    I think he means it's not an Ivanhoe if it isn't on the list.

                    What does "Probably more than 7000" mean?

                      Not on the Ivanhoe list and the serial number is surrounded by 97 riots in SRS.

                        You do realize that there was never any such thing as a "trench gun"? They were all riot guns. Officially. There is no way that gun is not 100% right.
                        Being on the "Ivanhoe" list means absolutely NOTHING.

                          It was never a riot gun. It is a totally correct and mint WWI trench. Learn from this grasshopper.

                            That's about how many "honey do's" it would take to convince the wife. One for each dollar it is going to cost.
