I now have 21 posts and still can't upload any pictures. Not sure what's going on since I think I should now be able to....maybe someone can explain?
Jesse, that is exactly how I tried to upload the picture and like you say, nothing happens.....it just sits in that attachment box and does nothing.
Tried to edit the previous post with the picture so I could take it out and replace with a better resolution one, but now I'm unable to do that while always before I was able to change something in a post.....still learning and a little clunky because I guess I'm not understanding the hows and whys. In any case, I tried what you mentioned, Jesse, and here is the result. It does seem a bit more clear upon expanding it.....more pics to come a bit later on.
Danke vielmals to all and I will head over to the vintage gate.....When I tried to upload a photo, I did not get that option of "small" or "medium" etc. etc. so I am thinking I'm still in the gray zone of not being able to upload pictures yet. I will follow your advice of welcoming new members, LES and thanks for the tip. I'd love for you all to see these, especially the S70 which is a beast! A little more history.....my father was commissary officer in Erlangen, Germany in the mid-40s after the war where he met a gentleman who the army had commissioned to do gunsmith work. They had put him in a tiny little cubicle that was barely large enough for him to sit in, let alone work on weapons effectively and my father, seeing his plight, told the post commander, with whom he had a good relationship, that the gunsmith needed a better space to do his work. The post commander agreed and provided a much nicer, larger area and supplied him with other amenities as well. The gunsmith so appreciated my father's help that they became close friends. A couple years later, after the Germans were allowed to own weapons again, that gunsmith who had started Bayerische Sportwaffen Fabrik in the 30s, re-opened production.....his name was Herr Schütt! Honestly, I don't even remember his first name as that was all I ever called him, Herr Schütt, as is customary in Germany in terms of how you address your elders. (The name "Hans" sticks in my brain though.....). He also, at the same time, reclaimed (had owned it before the war) proprietorship of a large hunting "Revier," or "Jagdgebiet," (German name for hunting territory) a hunting preserve and we (my father and I) became his only guests until I graduated high school and moved away in 1967. Sometime between age 10 and 15, Herr Schütt gave me the Bavaria and later the S70. They stayed with my parents until they passed and I then recovered them as my brother and I handled the estate.....So, now you know "the rest of the story....." about these rifles
