Sorry about lumping all of these together, but I figured since I had them out, why not just take a lump sum photo. I’ve only shown the top two to collectors: one wanted the political one badly, while the other really liked the panzer. What’s funny is that the one who wanted the political said he was hesitant on the panzer, and yet the other said he was hesitant on the political. 🤦🏼‍♂️ I was informed by the collector I purchased the third from that it was “most-likely” Italian made panzer eagle but possibly French. The HJ-LW is whatever it is. Oh, & please be sure to rip me for placing the small Velcro pieces (it was for a display I had up years ago).  

Thanks Sarge and Marshall. What is the lever that is missing on mine? It functions fine without it whatever it is.  Mark 

4 legged. The 2 legged variety remained in Nairobi.

Cool photo.  I wonder if his sidearm is an Enfield Mark 2 No. 1 or maybe a S&W British Service Revolver.   Charlie

That's pretty cool.  Good to see the Jungle Carbine still in the field.  I had one for years but finally sold it.  It had a tremendous recoil and was a PITA to shoot, so I finally sold it to a pal with a higher tolerance for pain.   Are these fellows providing security against four legged animal predators or the kind with 2 legs and AK-47s?   Regards, Charlie

A picture from Pintrest, this guy has A LOT of US badges on his uniform. What country is this officer from (Honduras)? Possible ID who he is?   

Thanks!     Mark sends The "76" would have to refer to the 76th Infantry Regiment, of the 19th Infantry Division which was stationed in Korea well before WWII began.  Thanks again for the great translation service!     Mark sends

That's a possibility.   However, although it is engraved with "【七六】76", it is unclear whether it is an ID or a unit.   Personally, I think it is more likely to be the unit number.   The reason is that the badge in the URL has the number "74" written as the unit number.

Nice late war version. The after the Germans took over production they continued to look for ways to make the pistol cheaper and faster. 

Looks like repackaged surplus ammo box.

Mark,   A very nice Radom pistol.  The Eagle/77 marking is an inspector who worked with proofing these pistols.  The other WaA is also a wartime German inspector  marking.  The rough finish on your pistol is normal for these late war pistols. These pistols also came with black plastic grips like your brown ones.     A nice find.    

i got this from the family of a vet when he passed several years ago. I assume he picked it up after the war as he was in the C.B.I. Theater. One stamp before the patent is something with what looks like a 77. The one after looks like a German eagle with a 623 or 625 stamped under it. Nothing special I know but it is fun to shoot. Didn't see a date of manufacture on it and I don't know what the stamps mean so any info would be great. Thanks Mark
