You are right Austro-Hungarian army used this type of dog tags but so did the slovak army. I'm sure of this from the context of discover. I found them with Slovak buttons,badges,buckles in a place where Slovak soldiers were disarm. This place is situated outside my village.

I have found some information on a forum but I don't find it anymore.

Great pictures - and wow! what country!!!

I love Romania - I scouted Bucharest and Castel Studios for a film-project - I really enjoyed it there.
The movie gun rental house had some serious WW2 arms in it, I was disappointed not to shoot there in the end.

Your finds are great, especially the ZB mags - I have studied this one as I have been rebuilding mine, and that you found one of the Aluminum loaders, too, is particularly cool.
I have many pictures of the ZB being used by troops, but i had always thought these particular loaders to be post-war, clearly they are not only post war.

Great pics thank you for sharing,

Bună seara,

Pit.
