Hello guys. This MP40 came in to my collection today.
Can someone help me with the maker? It says: fxo 41.
All numbers are matching except the bolt. Firingpin is missing aswell.
Out of that it’s an OK peace and looks very nice in my collection.

If any one can give me more information about this, my Dad left me this grenade
but I don’t no what this one is? It seems to be filled with lead as it’s very heavy. Thanks Kella
P.S. is it worth anything?
I am wondering when the "high-gloss" photographic paper of better overall image quality than the "matte" type was introduced. I have a rather unfocused photo of Hitler dated 1935 on such glossy paper and many of the photos in the Reichspost/Postschutz/SS-photo album of mine are also on this kind of paper. I just became curious if anyone knew when this kind of photo paper came into use.
In my opinion the overall image quality is much better on the high-gloss paper than on the matte paper.
Here an example of high-gloss photo quality (my lousy photo of the photo can not capture the image quality properly):
I have just acquired this original 34 42 winter trigger. Unlike the many Russian copies that seem to be everywhere these days this one is 100% original and has only just been removed from the 34 that it came with. A little pitted, but still very presentable. Nicely 3 letter coded "nee" for Georg Popp, Metallwarenfabrik, Schweina/Thur. The waffenampt is nice and clear as well.
I have seen a few of these winter triggers in the past but never one with the cut out on the front face. This I think is one of the more unusual accessories that goes with the 34 and 42.
All the best from Jersey,
D.
This is the first time I post on this forum but I have read very helpfull posts in the past.
I am from South Africa and I have the chance to buy a M40 helmet.
According to the seller it is a Dutch helmet but there is a Luftwaffe decal on it? Slim chance but is it not perhaps a genuine Luftwaffe M40 helmet?
The wear looks natural to me but what’s your feeling on this one?
The seller wants R 2500(Rand) about 325USD.
It seems that someone have tried to remove the liner?
Do you think it is worth the selling price?
Unfortunately this is all photos I have for now.
