I have them laid around here because it's quite an assembly. Let's take the rifle first. The rifle is very common.

Tom shows us a rare WW2 Johnson Model 1941 and compares that to the well-known M1 Garand and M1 Carbine... Used and issued mostly to the USMC, this rifle had a short shelf-life, with a unique design and interesting mechanics, the clunky magazine design was the a huge factor in the demise of this rifle.

We found a name faintly inscribed into the headband of a WW2 nazi police helmet. The inscription in German translates into "Police President Plesch". After some research, we found Hans Plesch was the owner of this helmet. His history is quite fascinating, and our read-through is that Hans was a "reluctant nazi". 

The Little Known Story of “The Reluctant Nazi”

Breif Synopsis: 

In 1930 Hans joined the nazi party and became a member of the nazi SS. By 1937, before the breakout of WW2, Hans left the nazi party and the SS. Our conjecture is because he lost interest , or was disillusioned by the cause. He joined his father in the family's car dealership business. A few years later, Hans Plesch was drafted back into service by the nazi party in 1940 (after the start of WW2). He was unfortunately assigned to the Eastern front,

Most people only hear stories of Lugers this beautiful. We're honored to share this presentation factory engraved Kreighoff Luger. A very scarce piece from WW2, this P.08 would have been presented to someone of high importance. We've seen a lot of engraved or inscribed lugers, but ONLY Krieghoff made FACTORY ENGRAVED Lugers. DWM, Erfurt, Simson, and Mauser all had their pistols engraved or inscribed after they left the factory. Only TEN (10) Lugers EVER were engraved. UNBELIEVABLE! Some of these engraved pistols are photoed and described in "The Krieghoff Parabellum".

Nazi Mauser HSc Action FAQ & Demo

Well, here's one of our frequently asked questions. This is a Mauser HSC. This one was used by the Nazis. The action on it is a little bit different than most semi-automatics, although I have noticed that the Mauser 1934 works about the same way.

So, when you cocked the pistol, it stays back, takes the magazine out, which is not easy, I don't like this design whole lot. Stays back when you pop it in. It slams forward. It doesn't fire, but it does slam forward and then it's ready to fire.
