I got genuine '31 Tula Baltic Flamethrower. All original. Serials on all parts match - no over stamps, no filing. And I used a numismatist's loupe to check. Furniture rated VG, no checking, just the usual duty dings or insignificant finish wear, arsenal refurbish. Bolt a little loose but solid. Matching bayonet, web gear, leather/canvas stripper pouches, full cleaning kit with dual oil/solvent can, and cleaning rod, included. I got in when they flooded the market a dozen years ago and found an online shop, and paid extra for a hand-picked unit. Picked it up at the gun shop and came covered in so much cosmoline, it took two days to clean it. You couldn't get what I have for $500 now.

Therein lies the mystery: being of Germanic origin, it's no stretch to know many of my distant relatives were conscripted into the Wehrmacht. I just look at it hanging in my rifle rack,and wonder if a Red Army soldier might have killed one of my great uncles with it.
