I am an interior decorator and have collected many old grain sacks. I have one I would like to use in a clients house but I need to know the background and definition of symbolism before I present the job.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Has anyone heard of generalmajor helmuth bachelin?

This attached foto is of GeneralMajor Helmuth Bachelin - or so it says on the back of the foto. Has anybody ever heard of him? I guess he was NOT a RKT, although he came close. :) Any info would be appreciated. I am especially interested in what unit(s) he commanded, and his DOB & DOD.

The Last ‘Military Bolt Action’ Rifle

Enjoy this Danish Madsen Rifle made for the Columbian Navy and known as the Columbian Model 58... It is interesting that 1945 was considered the end of the life spand of bolt action rifles, but Madsen of Denmark imbarked on a new bolt action rifle in 1947 in .30 cal to take advanage of all the surplus .30 cal. ammo from WW2..The only contract for this rifle was Columbia for their Navy, around 5000 rifles were completed...
