The Karabiner 98 Kurz or K98k was the mainstay bolt-action rifle of the German military before and during WWII. It was the direct descendant of the WWI era Gewehr 98. It was chambered for the 8mm Mauser round and fed by an internal five round box magazine.
This particular rifle was a completely matching gun built by J.P. Sauer und Sohn in 1943.

This particular rifle was an all matching, like new rifle built in occupied Czechoslovakia. It had a very early import mark on the side of the rear sight base, but was otherwise a flawless piece.

This is a post-86 M53 machine gun. It is comprised of a mix of post-war Yugoslav parts and WWII German parts. The M53 is identical to the MG42, MG74, and MG3 (save for the chamberings of the latter two). Th It is currently possessed by my company, Southern Michigan Arms, but is likely of some interest here.
The MG34 was the Wehrmacht's primary light infantry machine gun during WWII and saw action on all fronts. It is complex and somewhat finicky, but reliable and accurate when well-maintained.
This particular gun is a live and legally-registered firearm. It is not matching (few remaining MG34's are) but has all original WWII parts.
