And most battlefield artifacts are not in usable condition. The fact that this one is both a battlefield artifact and seeming working condition makes it quite rare and highly desirable for the right collector.

    A really cool weapon and a truly incredible restoration, couldn't have imagined saving any of it. Can't understand why people would prefer these things remain in their original destroyed condition, rather than gaining a new existence to be appreciated and respected for their original historic value for decades to come. This man's effort honors the previous owner and anyone getting to see and handle them in such a faithfully original condition would surely feel more connected to history. Such a talent is a special gift to the world.

      @@Jay-jb2vr there are "restoration" channels where they fake age either in a salt bath or bury it in the yard. Then film a montages of the "repair" for clicks.
      Some enjoy the montages, but most find it disingenuous and shows little skill since it amounts to a montage of disassembling and cleaning, not restoration.

The welding skills and the gunsmith skills that were showed in this restoration project were unbelievable. At first it looked like the person was going to just salvage parts off the gun and maybe sell them or something. But then, as I saw the Welding commence, I knew that it was on!

    When I was 13 we lived in a small German village in the Hunsrück area of Germany in 1963. Dad was Air Force and we were there for three years. Being interested in WW2 I was always keeping my eyes open for coins and other artifacts from that period. One day I was walking up a hill on the edge of the road and was looking for more German Reich coins in a little stream/sewer running alongside the road when I spotted a rusty pistol in the water. Being a fan of the Sgt Rock comic books back then I knew it wasn't a Luger but it was small, the grips were rotted away and, looking back on it, I'm guessing it was a Walther. Anyway, I took it back to my father and showed it to him and he said to just go throw it back where I found it. I did just that. The initial pictures shown here reminded me of that.
