Hmmmm.........

Consider the following scenario:

1) Burglar breaks into Messervy’s apartment in the middle of the night.

2) Burglar meets Joshua and Wenzel in the dark.

3) Burglar has fatal heart attack.

Here in this country we have a saying (Translated roughly):

From your lips into God's ears.

BTW can anyone think of more appropriate (slightly humorous) names for the two?

[Liddabit]

Hans and Frans? :P

They look great Messervy! Maybe put some camo facepaint on ? They look kinda like tall little kids

Another scenario


1) Imagine Celeon would had such two at his home bunker

2) Celeon wakes up in the middle of the night and is thirsty

3) Celeon makes his way to the kitchen in half-sleep zombie mode

4) Celeon spots the silhouettes of two armed intruders (Propably Delta Force or SAS....again)

5) Celeon dives behind the couch

6) Celeon grabs the HK CAWS prototype hidden under the couch

7) Celeon releases a full ten round tungsten buckshot mag towards the general direction of the intruder silhouettes while screaming "YOU LIKE THAT ?!!!"

8) Celeon switches the light on

Liddabit....one is German while the other is American.....or am I missing something here?

Regarding the paint.....
I was thinking about that, but they don't come cheap and I don't want to ruin the good "Shop display" looks.
It's afterall a recession time and one can hardly appreciate buying a well preserved, second hand, "genuinly aged WW ll MANNEQUIN".

8) Celeon switches the light on

...Now, that is a mistake!
I've been tought that you should never, ever resort to illumination while on your home turf.

Hans and Frans are from an old SNL skit

[Messervy]

A shippment from U.K. arrived!

A package was so heavy the T.N.T. guy refused to carry it up, so I had to collect it on the street.

Inside:

P14/Winchester with volley sights






Lanchester sub machine gun





And the big prize - Berlin Borsigwald made MG 34





Yesterday I picked up Sten mark lll



Now I need to figure out the temporary racks - once they are "alive" they are destined for a security closet.

And the big prize - Berlin Borsigwald made MG 34

Celeon's K98 came from the same factory

Do you know the production year yet ?

[Messervy]

It is stamped 1940.
