WW1 Dug up Rifles - relics from the past:
Dug up rifles - dropped in action, buried then found years later:
Gug Up rifles are a fascinating piece of history - often dropped in the heat of battle, then frozen in time, lost in mud and water for years until someone with a metal detecter finds them (easier said than done, as most of what comes out of WW1 trenches are very dangerous munitions - real-gun.com does not recommend digging battlefields yourself as its really, really dangerous). Condition varies wildly depending on where and conditions - often you see just lumps of unrecognisable iron ore, not for us, but sometimes they come out of the ground in remarkable condition. Dug up weapons do not usually require deactivation as they have been "deactivated by nature" - ie, they are rusted totally solid!Please choose from the dug up examples below:

Canadian Ross Rifle dug up relic:
Dug up Canadian Ross Rifle relic:
Holy cr*p - Canadian Ross straight pull rifles are the rarest of WW1 deactivated guns, to find a dug up is just unheard of - they were great on the range but not suited to the mud of the trenches and were replaced by P14`s and SMLE`s as soon as they were available, so this one would have served very early in WW1 and spent a long, long time in the ground - found in the Ypres battlefield.Early WW1 Canadian Ross straight pull rifle, just so, so rare:
