Sd2 Butterfly cut relic

[spotter]

I was very kindly given a relic SD2 and 41 fuze by waffenamt.It arrived yesterday and It was all in very poor condition,and not for the serious collector basically a scrap item but Waff thought i may be able to use it as a cutaway example.The body apart from been heavily pitted and rusty was actually dented .The fuze had a bad case of aluminium rot and the threads were un-salvageable.Perfect enough for me
Using the usual tools ,hacksaw and files I cut the body and fuze where most of the damage was.Its not a perfect cut and i think it should have a bayonet type fuze,but i only wanted an example which i now have .Thank you for your generosity waff

yes made my arm ache a bit ,glad i had good saw blades ,used 2 blades to cut it and one blade still has some use left in it

Its getting a repaint as well ,the blue on the body is too much

Hats off to you on the work,i honestly didnt think it was salvageable?
