Here's an unusual item. I bought this cheap along with a Russian early war map case from a guy who works in a British post office. The story is he has a fellow worker there who goes back to Russia from time to time and found this in an outhouse on a property outside Kharkov. I figured for the price I got it it was worth the gamble.
I've never seen anything like this though. Has anyone seen something like this before? The paint and wood seem old enough but its not exactly a regulation item. The metal Runes are backwards as well which is strange. It still looks pretty cool though and I don't see someone going to all the trouble of faking this for the price I got it at. The guy I bought it from didn't even know what the TD might stand for.
Any opinions would be very much appreciated
thanks in advance.
