AWE CRAP! My batteries have run down, now they're on the charger. Not Nicads Lithium metalhydride or something. Need to let them charge at least 2 maybe 3 hours.

I was getting ready to photograph the rifle and all the stuff that came with it from the original owner and Martin Sigg. I was going to photograph the rounds the Swiss range owner gave me, the old round nosed paper patched stuff, the blanks the GP-11 and the Match ammo in sealed box. Now you'll just have to wait.

Shawn do you have a DSL hookup at home? If not I don't think you are going to want the flood of pics I was prepairing to take. LOL!

To Zouave, I'll put a few of them to you when I get them, may have to wait until tomorrow or late tonight before they will be ready to go. To save time I may drop the resolution on the camera otherwise I will need to use software on the PC to cut them down to 800 X 600 pixel size.

Now I can't make an attachment!

I was going to post a full length view of rifle with bayonet attached. Bolt body has a WB 1942 stamp. That's Waffenfabrik Bern. Bern is the Capital of Switzerland. I've got pics of it both sides, top and bottom, the ammo, cartridges and cartridge boxes, mess kit, canteen, canteen cup, straps, Bread Bag and Swiss servicemans hat.

Well maybe Shawn will have luck posting them as I've already sent them on to him. Go Shawn go!:mad:
