Old Ads I bought

Edward Tinker · 10-20-2005, 10:56 PM

I bought these off of e-bay, they are left and down and then right and down, from magazines he cut them from;

1933
1931
1933

1908
1911
1923 (a very cool one)

The 1923 by itself;

116 or 200 shots per minute????? I don't believe I could make the 4 or 6 mag changes in a minute needed for that rate of fire, much less take the time to aim and fire. Bob Benson

I wish there was a chance to by a brand new carabine today..

So do I !

For what you would have to spend for a brand new carbine manufactured today, you could easily have an original Luger modified and refinished for just a bit more

... but don't forget the $200 NFA tax for making a short barreled rifle if the barrel is less than 16"

Ed,

Wonderful find. I really like the old ads, makes the period come alive again.
I'm curently in the process of getting my hands on a couple of brochures from Manufacture Francaise D'armes et Cycles from St. Etienne.

Sadly no Luger stuff in them, but should prove to be interesting anyway.

Gerben, I saw them on e-bay and figured they would look nice matted and framed! Look good downstairs. I have one more I didn't scan in, from the early 60's, it is about 4x10 inches, will arrange most of these around it

Hey, if you come across Simson literature, keep me in mind, looking for books, etc., I can get parts translated via Glen if I pay him in Alabama dollars

Ed,

Good idea. I've framed a reproduction Weimar/Imperial instruction card. For the cars (I play around with old benzes), I selected a couple of technical drawings from an old press kit, made a good quality copy on colored paper for some more contrast and had these professionally framed as well. Works quite well.

The last framed addition was a bit of a combination between both hobbies, a period (1930s) Mercedes-Benz poster which shows a dynamic overview of the military products they were involved with.

sounds nice, would love to see a picture?

Hi Ed,

Took some quick snapshots. Glass plate is always difficult to capture.
