    sticknrudder, DAM RIGHT ITS A NICE PIECE ! speaks for itself LOUD AND PROUD . BOBS people do it as good as possible. the 08 side plate is not that uncommon. there was a time when the RUSSIAN gun would bring DOUBLE or MORE than the more common MG-08's all over the place. the C+R status is controlled strictly by the paperwork and how the manufacturer info is entered. BY regulation ANY C+R must remain in EXACTLY THE SAME CONFIGURATION as originally built to qualify. C+R's and be killed many ways but paper work is the main culprit. I have an exact match to your gun that has transferred as a C+R several times. its a fact BOTH the RUSSIANS AND GERMANS changed each others guns in every possible way. the GERMAN examples are easier to document, but in reality its the very first form entering the weapon in the registry that carry's the most weight. in this post, I brought up several things that could take many pages to explain fully.  Don't be discouraged. its not the gun its the available MONEY ! all the huge collections coming to market the past 3 years has used it all up . post WW II guns like M-16 / M-60 are still hot but the WW II and earlier took a hit. in 2002 it was almost impossible to find a Vickers for sale and in 2013 one collection dumped more than 40 at one time they are just now starting to recover and bring more money but still 30% below normal. so don't worry, the right guy WILL come along.  

    The F4 under “Manufacturer” states “Germany DWM 1918 WWI” then the serial # FYI 

  2. As I said...I own it on a form 4 in the state of TN. It is in my gun safe. Bob Naess built it on a C&R MG08 side plate. As I understand it from Bob no longer C&R due now a 1910. Exactly how it will/would transfer to someone in/out of state I’m not a expert. If interested please contact YOUR SOT for clarification. 

  3. For some reason I’m not getting notifications of messages. The gun is in my possession on a form 4. I’m not a SOT. The local SOT said it would transfer dealer to dealer pretty quickly then on form 4 to the new (individual) buyer. That information needs to be confirmed especially if going out of state.
