Kia kaha Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share #13 Posted January 25, 2021 This is an order to return any weapons held to the armoury at police H.Q. 1980. Note it states to return captured souvenirs as well, one of the reasons they are hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kia kaha Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share #17 Posted March 11, 2021 Another water bottle from a ZIPRA fighter. A large Chinese style aluminium bottle carried in a British 44 pattern cover possibly ex Zambian Army. The bottle is made of thinner aluminium and is a lot larger than the usually Chinese supplied canteens. definitely not a 44 pattern canteen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy Howdy Posted March 24, 2021 Share #24 Posted March 24, 2021 OMG! I've had these belts for years but could never find any concrete evidence as to who may have used them. One thing I find interesting is the buckle on the lower left. Canvas web belt and made of steel. Looks like a Cuban buckle only blank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kia kaha Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share #25 Posted March 24, 2021 Sterile belts made for aid to developing counties. I’ve never seen brand new ones before all mine were “soiled” good score Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
