rpbcps Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 I don't think this photo has been posted before, if it has, I missed it. Looking at the NY address and patent dates on the receiver, I presume this is one of the French contract Model of 1921's Stay safe Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

full auto 45 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Is the receiver damaged or is that shadowing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halftrack Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Is the receiver damaged or is that shadowing? 21 GERMAN.jpg Looks to be the shadowing along with a closed bolt that may be throwing the perspective off. Otherwise looks fine to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Fliegenheimer Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Another period example of the frequently encountered highlighting of the roll marks and stamps. This dates back to May 10,1922. In this particular instance, was it AOC, the French.....or the Krauts who applied the highlighting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
