Gew.88 Muzzle protector/ cleaning guide

My friend Paul has two of these, keeping in his collection, he thinks super rare and at one time offer me one for several hundred dollars. At least I did not laugh. Way too much.  
Value depends on demand, you can find junk no one wants and it is super rare. There will be no value.   
Anyway, the book is that great soft back Gew.88 book. I was wondering if any of you chaps ‘Cross the pond have ever seen or have one. I would like to have one, just no know value, How rare do you chaps think this item is.? More rare than an original “ Flanders Flap”?

Hey Michel, collecting is a treasure hunt, never know what you will find. I still do not have one, wondering if I might be able find one in U.K. Or Europe? My friend wants too much for his. But it is interesting

That was a great !! Very good job!     
Is that a one off, experiment or May do a small run to sell?

Thank you. 
 

It will definitely be available.

But I still have to test it on the original gun to make sure it fits exactly.

What an interesting attachment! I wonder how many were made? Certainly never seen anything like it over here!

Trajan,

The very beginning of the third para of the text above says,

“One muzzle protector was issued for every three rifles.” but you will have to dig out what that number was.
