You have to be more specific when you say the dude is crackers. Are you referring to the seller, or the high bidder?

@pylon1357 I think hes referring to the cracker biscuit, which doesn't really look like a ww1 hard tack biscuit at all, more like a post ww2 one,

Definitely post WW2, about 70 years post ww2... Hehe

LOL I think if I dug around in the back of my cupboards, I may find something that resembles the offering there.

I didn't know the Germans issued a .22 cal. military Mauser rifle.  That impact is not from an 8mm Mauser.
