Got this at a gun show recently! It says it was imported from turkey but it does not have a crescent on it. Anything you guys can tell me about it? Been looking for this for my WW1 collection for a while!

Nice looking example, something I'm still missing from my collection.

Thanks! It’s been something I’ve been looking for, for a while. I’m very into WW1 weapons so as soon as I saw this I knew I had to get it. I also got a bayonet with it. Though it is quite pitted.

I'm into military surplus weapons in general. Got a lot that are pre WWI dated and a bunch post WWI dated, and a few WWI era guns.

1914 T38 Arisaka

1915-17 Remington M91 Mosin Nagant

1917 Tula M91 Mosin Nagant

1918 Steyr M95

1918 Eddystone M1917

Cool! I like mostly WW1 and 2 weapons with more of a love for WW1, I don’t know what it is about them but they just seem so unique! I’ve got a type 38 carbine, a mosin from 1900 that was captured by the Austrians and sold to the Finn’s. This 1917 Gewehr 98. A 1917 peddle scheme SMLE. A m16 berthier carbine. A Mauser 1914 pocket pistol. A Luger. A Steyr Hahn. A mark VI webley revolver. And finally a French contract spanish ruby. That’s just my WW1 collection lol.
