SOLD VERY SCARCE 1923 SOVIET DRAGOON RIFLE….MATCHING AND NAZI Kru 1 KRAKOW DEPOT MARKED…….NAZI REISSUE……SCHINDLER’S LIST SPECIAL!

In excellent minus condition we have an extremely scarce and rarely see Nazi issued Beutewaffen, in this case a rare all matching 1923 dated Mosin Nagant Dragoon Rifle that is “Kru 1” marked to the German Army weapons depot in Krakow Poland.  It is Kru 1 marked on the left side of the stock and behind the triggerguard where there is also an eagle acceptance mark.  The Heer Rework depot located in Krakow would have provided these captured weapons to lower echelon Nazi security units, and these rifles are often seen being carried by the notoriously brutal  Ukrainian Camp guards at the concentration camps in this area.  You may recall that this is where the events recorded in the film “Schindler’s List” occurred and it would not be far fetched to say that this rifle may well have been deployed in this maelstrom of crimes against mankind.   Documented Nazi re-issued Soviet small arms are scarce and rarely seen and this would be an extremely desirable acquisition from a collecting and historical perspective.
