The same person who has the Kurland Cuff for sale has sent pictures of a silver class close combat clasp. I haven't been able to find any pictures on line showing just the initials F&B.L on the back of the award. Any Opinions?

P47 Wreckage

Some pieces of a P47, found in the Ardennes Belgium, the site is well known with locals and has been well dug over the years, so I was pleased to find what I did it is said the wreak impacted on the surface, there is a depression in the ground, but it is mainly from people gigging and disturbing the soil ( a few discarded water bottles) One of the best finds was the Oil Filler hatch I found that by searching in the leaves some distance from the main site, I thought I'd have to search the less obvious areas and it worked. You can quite clearly make out the masked off olive drab and natrual aluminum demarcation line, suggesting a natrual aluminum ship, the panel is located on the left side of the fuselage 8/10 feet in front of the pilot. Some nice pieces of perspex, a curved piece (bubble top) and a corner piece with the correct angle for the forward side canopy .

FN model 1910

Hi.

Here I show two FN 1910-guns.
They were produced in two different calibers, 7,65mm Auto(32ACP) and 9mm Short(380ACP).
You cant tell any difference between the calibers until you look into the barrels or read on the barrel in the ejectionport.
I have included a barrelpicture showing the difference between the two calibers.
These guns have been sold in huge numbers and used until not long ago by many police forces.
One of the guns in the picture have the serialnumber 19199 and according to some sources the gun that was used by Gavrilo Princip to assassinate Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on June 28, 1914 had the serialnumber 19074.
These are nice guns to shoot and cheap to buy if you live in europe.

Best regards
Laplander
