In 1841, with the adoption of the percussion cap for ignition, the Russians began the process of converting their flintlock muskets to the percussion system, thus the designation of Model 1828/44, a percussion conversion of the Model 1828 musket.

*NAZI HITLER YOUTH CONNECTIONS* RARE* HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER*1930’s German Schmeisser’s Patent Haenel Model 33 Junior (Small Form K98k) 4.4mm BB Lead Balls Only Bolt Action 6 Shot Magazine Fed Military Training Air Rifle & Sling. Sn 23617 - 23617
The Haenel Model 33 Junior is one of the most famous and highly collectible vintage military training air rifles ever produced. The "Junior" variant was engineered as a slightly smaller, scaled-down version of the standard ("Senior") Model 33, specifically intended for training teenagers and youths. Manufactured by C.G. Haenel in Suhl, Germany, during the interwar period 1933 until the onset of WW2, it was masterfully designed by legendary firearms engineer Hugo Schmeisser famous for the iconic WW2 Schmeisser Sub Machine Gun. The military appearance was purposely built to mimic the aesthetics of Germany’s standard-issue military service rifle, the Mauser K98k but in smaller form and were most notably used by Nazi Hitler Youth groups for training to teach basic marksmanship, safe gun handling and bolt-action manipulation before moving on to full bore firearms. It features a full-length wooden stock and a Mauser-style wing safety catch at the rear of the bolt. Unlike standard break-barrel spring guns, the Model 33 uses a unique bolt-action cocking system. Pulling the bolt handle upward and backward compresses the internal spring piston. It feeds exclusively from vertical, detachable box magazines holding 6, 8 or 12 rounds. It fires 4.4mm lead round balls (No. 4 lead balls only, not for steel BBs or traditional shaped pellets, as steel will permanently damage its rifled barrel). Because of their direct connection to WW2 history, surviving models are highly sought after by militaria and vintage airgun collectors. Our example is in excellent condition with all original un-damaged metal work and wood. It has a block and blade foresight, adjustable rear sight, ribbed butt & sling swivels fitted with period leather sling. The fore stock has period hand etched initials ‘NPY’ (most likely a previous owner or HJ trainee). The metal work has model and maker detail all illustrated. The metal 6 shot magazine is marked ‘Anschutz’. The rifle cocks and fires crisply. The price for this rare, desirable Nazi era military training rifle includes UK delivery. Sn 23617

*NAZI HITLER YOUTH CONNECTIONS* RARE*1930’s German Venus Waffenwerk Model Mars 100 Type (Small Form K98k) 4.4mm BB Lead Balls Only Bolt Action Multi Shot Military Training Air Rifle. Sn 23607 - 23607
This is a nice example of one of many Pellet Air Rifles used for training during the Pre-WWII Era in Germany, designed by the Oscar Will von Mars Repetier-Luftgewehr (Repeating Air Rifle) Company. These were available in two sizes, the smaller "MARS 100" and full size "MARS 115". The Mars pellet rifles closely resemble a scaled-down Mauser Model 98k, which would become Germany’s standard-issue Bolt-Action rifle in 1935. It would then be the standard German infantry service rifle throughout WWII. The Mars company went out of business after World War II, as with many other companies. The military appearance was purposely built to mimic the aesthetics of Germany’s standard-issue military service rifle, the Mauser K98k but in smaller form and were most notably used by Nazi Hitler Youth groups for training to teach basic marksmanship, safe gun handling and bolt-action manipulation before moving on to full bore firearms. Although there are no visible German maker marks or MARS designation on this example, it has similar features to the MARS 100 model. It has a full-length wooden stock and a Mauser-style wing safety catch at the rear of the bolt. Unlike standard break-barrel spring guns, these rifles use a unique bolt-action cocking system. It is gravity fed from an internal magazine & fires 4.4mm lead round balls (No. 4 lead balls only, not for steel BBs or traditional shaped pellets, as steel will cause jams and could cause internal damage). Because of their direct connection to WW2 history, surviving models are sought after by militaria and vintage airgun collectors. Our example is in excellent condition with all original un-damaged metal work and wood. It has a block and blade foresight, adjustable rear sight, steel butt, cleaning rod, forward sling bar & shoulder stock slotted for sling with sling lug. The metal work and wood have ‘3 Crowns’ inspection marks similar to Swedish inspection marks ( Sweden bought many K98 rifles from Germany but we cannot find any record of Sweden using K98 type air gun military trainers). The rifle is serial number ‘161’ and has indistinct numbers impressed in the wood (all illustrated). The rifle cocks and fires crisply. The price for this rare, Nazi era military training rifle includes UK delivery. Sn 23607

Sheridan Products Inc. was formed to produce Pneumatic Air Pellet Rifles with production beginning in March 1947. The company name Sheridan was reputedly in honour of the Civil War's General Philip Sheridan. The Sheridan Model C "Streak" was introduced in 1949. This is the model that ushered Sheridan Products Inc. into profitability. The Model C Silver and Blue Streaks are the pellet rifles that Sheridan is primarily known for. Sheridan manufactured the Model C Streaks for 27 years before being bought out by the Benjamin Air Rifle company in 1976 and ending the original run of Sheridan produced Streaks. Model C (Streak) (1949–1976) air rifles are well constructed Airguns using quality materials. They utilized walnut stocks, aluminium receiver, bronze barrel and pump tube. A different valve mechanism was used in the Model C than in the previous Model A and B. It was dubbed the "Streaks" with the Silver Streak being first with its Nickel finish, followed by Blue Streak in a black oxide finish in 1952. The only difference between the two Streaks is the finish. Sheridan Products Inc was acquired by its competitor, the Benjamin Air Rifle Company in 1977, thus ending the original line of Sheridan Model C's in 1976. Benjamin Air Rifle Company continued producing Model C's until 1992 when the company was purchased by competitor Crosman Corporation. Changes to the design of the Model C were made by both Benjamin and Crosman. Sheridan C- Series ‘Silver Streak’ air rifles are scarce to find in the UK.

ANCIENT C1650-1700’s BLADE**Japanese Hizento Style Forged Uchigatana Single Hand Sword Re-Mounted C1943-1944 For WW2 Service, Scabbard & Expert Assessment. Sn 23689 - 23689
This Uchigatana single hand Japanese sword with ancient blade has been examined by UK Japanese sword expert Bill Tagg and a copy of his assessment notes accompany the sword. In his notes he states “A single hand Japanese sword, an uchigatana, the antique unsigned blade has been shortened down by moving the machi (blade shoulders) down by approx 2 to 2½ inches. It is forged in the hizento style which was made famous by the Tada Yoshi extended family over eight or nine generations, copying earlier work by yamashiro swordsmiths from ancient times, having a hamon (temper line) of nioi crystals with nie deki edge in sugha (straight) pattern, practically straight sides not much fumbari and longer point based on nambokucho period fighting swords. In bright old polish, only one kizu (flaw) which is now under the habaki (cannot be seen) probably why, it was shortened. Has the size & look of late 17th century workmanship circa 1650-1700. For professional opinion & papers needs to go back to Japan. In original old lacquer saya with pocket for kogatana side knife (now missing) the whole thing covered in leather for war service in WW2. Good condition. Tsuba is gunto pattern heavy quality cast brass, with piercing through body, sign of quality, numbered 0813 in Japanese, most gilding faded. Tsuka has suffered heavy war time use, lost its same fish skin and ito binding has been retied (roughly) wood body was wrapped in silk cloth covering mekugi hole & peg, had to be strapped bare to check for signature & help with dating blade. Missing locking catch & stud, but original cord sarute knot loop for tassel going through kabuto gane (top fitting).Nice quality antique blade needs hilt restoring & wrapping properly”. In his illustrations Bill describes the cutting edge as just under 18 ¾”, total length 24 ½”. He also describes and illustrates other blade measurements and characteristics (illustrated in image 2). For information the Japanese army sent people around Japan 1943/44 period buying in wakizashi & katana blades old unsigned for 50 yen a piece in any condition, then refurbished in arsenals, turned into gunto mounts for military use. This is probably one of those. Bill had to take apart the field repaired damaged hilt, to check for signature & put back to same condition as before, as a result, to avoid damage we have not removed the hilt to take images of the blade tang.
