Great piece Bill! Love the holster and condition. I'd love to see the period photo if you have a chance to find it.

Hey Patrick,

I will post one for you as soon as I can.

Cheers
Gary

Well,

this may be a long shot, but do you have anything from the 1950's?
Another interest of mine is the French Indochina conflict, an issue weapon to paratroops from that conflict was the folding stock MAS36-CR39.

I've never seen one outside of a period photo....

Thanks again,

Patrick.

CR39 for Patrick

Finally dug it out. If you need more pics let me know. I do have one question and that is how was the sling attached to the wheel? Bill, do you know? Got it with the sling bolted on with a standard US thread nut and bolt so I know that is not correct.

Hey Patrick,
