Guess The Gun Thread

[Torment]

In fairness I would have accepted either 1900 / 1901 / 1905 I think.


Aside from the difference in calibres 8mm / 7.63mm etc which you can't really pick out from a snapshot of the pistol I'm not actually sure there are any massive real tell-tale differences between the versions. I remember reading somewhere that a lot of the 1905's had a different stamping that said Md 1905 Waffenfabrik Steyr rather than just Waffenfabrik Steyr so I suppose you'd recognise it from a picture in that way - but considering I had to black out the 'Waffenfabrik Steyr' on the picture it's sort of a moot point.

Anyway - correct for all intents and purposes Well done Ska.

If all fairness though, I did have an advantage in that I've been studying turn of the century guns for the past 6 months as I'm making a game set in that period

The piece I had the luck to take a look at had 1905 stamped on it. if you're ever in the North of England take a look at the Royal Armouries museum. If you call in advance you can arrange private viewings of certain items for research perposes . . . just be sure to ask nicely

But anyway, not that hard a gun really but hopefully it'll get a few people thinking:

Is it spanish?

 

[Seth_Soldier]

it's horrible it seems that i know it but i've forgotten its name ...
For a moment i thought it was a langermann pistol or something like that used by the germans ...

EDIT: i think i've find it , it's a [FONT=arial,sans-serif][SIZE=-1]Dreyse 1907[/SIZE][/FONT]

here mine :

 

[Zoring]

I would confidently say those are mauser standard leaf sights on that thing, but if that's a mauser rifle i'd eat my own nob. Ugly beast whatever it is.

 

[Seth_Soldier]

not german,
don't worry, i always try to put weapons adopted or used officially by a nation.

 

[KrazyKraut]

Those are indeed similar to Mauser sights because most of these were chambered for 8mm Mauser.

Oh, it's a Czech ZH-29 btw.

P.S.:The owner of rifle and site above was a member on these boards sometime ago.

 

[Seth_Soldier]

well done !

 

[KrazyKraut]

Okay, my turn (hope the pic is sharp enough):


Good luck!

 

[Cuddles]

[Ska Wars]

Mauser Mod.71/84?

Not got a clue really although I'm sure I've seen one before lol

 

[worluk]

nope, its a Mle 1874 Gras

 

[KrazyKraut]

worluk is correct. It's the successor to the famous Chassepot rifles. Saw very limited service though.

Your turn

 

[worluk]
