I have seen some copies recently (what is not being copied these days ), but this one is a good one as stated...as you can see from the maker mark the piece is Croatian-made by a major producer from the era, as this unit while from somewhere in the USSR was active in the Balkans, I would need to look up the order of battle, anyway I believe they surrendered to the British (you can see photos of them turning in their arms) and I do not know if they were repatriated to the Soviets or to the Yugoslavs. Sometimes diggers in this area will find ID tags and cap insignia from this unit...anyway a neat piece and rare.

Very nice piece. I don't believe I've seen this in a color photo before. few books show it too.
thank you for showing it to us. jeff
