I like your thinking! Yes it’s a very good point - and not entirely unrealistic too. My main reason for wanting to build a copy is that I love the look of them, I’m never going to be trying to pass it off as an original so might as well put what I like on it anyway. Although I making it a Type B original As I can gives me bit of a tickle too...

To be honest I am having problems deciding on quite a few details that could go either way. It took me a while to work exactly what I liked about classic sporters. I thought I had it fully nailed on a 100% Type B, then Cameron Hatcher made me aware of Plezier Mausers and that threw me a bit and gave me the side panel bug... I’ll try and do a bit of a progress report early next week I think

So what stock profile have you decided on?

I rather like the slab sided Haenel Mauser with Prince of Wales grip that MauserKid posted earlier: https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/LotDetail.aspx?inventoryid=445617
