It’s called the take down lever. Look at the groves in the slides on the earlier models. You will see a notch that the take down lever locks in to. Yours does not have that notch. 

The official German armed forces, the Wehrmacht, fell under the control of the state, not the Nazi Party. While the Nazi Party had influence over the military, the RZM's direct authority did not extend to Wehrmacht uniforms and gear. That being said, the eagle with the RZM tag is fake. Bullion birds of a feather often flock together. The HJ flak helper looks good.

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.
