wehrmacht camo poncho ? help

Dear Friends,
I have just found this strange cover. It looks like made from zeltbahns, but is with very strange construction. it is made from 2 sheets splinter pattern textile which is painted on both sides on a manner identical with the zaltbahns. there is one snap button painted in dark fieldgrey with stamp "Durabel auto W (or M)"
a friend told me that it's DDR's (east german) acording to clips stamps(1958-1960 and on) but I am not convinsed ... It is dificult for me to belive that East germany have used Zeltbahns to produse such a products so late after the war... need your opinion and help!!!

last picures shows how it looks when it's dressed

ODD mauser 1934 pocket pistol

Over the weekend i picked up a mauser 1934 32cal pocket pistol serial number 198XXX, the right side is marked MAUSER-7,65, on the left side is marked WAFFENFABRIK MAUSER A-G OBERNDORF A.N. MAUSER'S PATIENT. the serial number is stamped on the front of the slide, but it is not in a machined recess like others i have seen, also the mauser banner is missing from the side shield right over the safety. gun is all matching numbers including the side shield? is it a commercial model, or just an oddball. it does have wrap around wooden grips, anyone with info would be very helpfull

Custom Signature Pictures

Sorry if this has already been brought up.
I've just made a custom signature picture for going under my posts on the forum, but every time I upload it for some reason it shrinks down to a very small size, probably only 2 pixels thick and about 10 long. I'm keeping to the rule that it has to be a maximum of 100 by 50 pixels. So is there anything that I can do to sort it out?
Thanks

Danny

Question Can I have your expert opinions please?

Deal or no deal? Seller has no idea if genuine or not and they look a bit new to me but I'm new to this game!
