pylon1357 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 You have to be more specific when you say the dude is crackers. Are you referring to the seller, or the high bidder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the colonel Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 @pylon1357 I think hes referring to the cracker biscuit, which doesn't really look like a ww1 hard tack biscuit at all, more like a post ww2 one, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahrtal Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I didn't know the Germans issued a .22 cal. military Mauser rifle. That impact is not from an 8mm Mauser. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
