I was responding to gun from ca. 1896. These post Great Patriotic War DDR guns are quite nice especially those from pre-1961 vintage when great depression of german minds took hold. As one esteemed member of this board said sometime there's nothing like a modern gun you do not have to baby sit.
German piece becomes gun of the year sometime around December.
This year RRL 28br 1 of 100 did steal the show in my hof.
