The well preserved condition of the guns is probably attributed to being buried in a bog. Executed criminals from the middle ages have been recovered from English bogs that are in a remarkable condition of preservation.

Point well taken concerning Model. In retrospect, what we were viewing was a modification of the M-1919.
Thanks for the correction..... :mrgreen:
