Hello everybody, I just want to inform you that my book " Deutsche Fertigungskennzeichen bis 1945 " about the secret German manufacturer codes is sold out now. I'm trying to get a few left-over copies from a dealer, so please feel free to ask if you still need one. But that's all and I don't know if...

Thanks

Too bad that it's in German only. But 396 pages are too much to translate ... and my English is not perfect enough.

Here some photos:

Dear collectors, since a few days my book "Deutsche Gewehrgranaten und Gewehrgranatgeräte bis 1945" ( German rifle grenades and launchers till 1945 ) is finished. It was a long work during the past years, but now it’s ready and I got the first package from the print shop. :D The book is bound with h...

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I haven't had much time for my hobby the past month. The "S" stands for "Simson & Co., Suhl", but this company did not make the item. The real manufacturer can be found by the number written below the "S". It was a trick to fool the Allied control teams because they tho...

avb is the code of the company "Prestag" Preß- u. Stanzwerkstätten GmbH located in Berlin-Neukölln. The company made products of pressed and stamped steel. Unfortunately I do not have any closer information about the products. The marking looks good ... but I don't know if it's original. With best w...

The police was very friendly and we never had any problems:

And here a G3 (license build) and a Austrian Steyr AUG

I have been in Pakistan in 2006 on holiday. There are some really nice guns to see .... here a picture of the police in Gilgit.

Hey, glad to hear that it is useful !
So it was worth the effort of all the research.

With best wishes
Michael

You should be glad that I didn't sign it with my full name .... one page wouldn't be enough to write all the names down. I guess next time I come to Chicago Airport it will take more than 20 minutes (like last year) at the immigration officer's desk

Nice Panzerschreck!
It's the long version, now you need the short one to have both.

Is your trigger mechanism still in full working order?

Michael

I have found two other pics.
These are my original East-German cut-away training weapons AK47 (and a deactivated PPS43).
They also used rifle grenades.

I'm glad to hear that you like it :wnana: Well, in Germany we have very strict rules for owning fullauto-weapons. It's only allowed to have fullautos made before May 1945 (all later guns are "war-weapons"). Also the fullautos already have to be in Germany (and legally of course), it's not allowed to...

And some weapons:

And some other launchers.
From left to right: Spain, US, France, Britain

Some dug-ups .... a Russian molotov-cocktail-launcher, a Russian rifle-grenade launcher and an very early German launcher of WW2.
