My antiques fair haul

[Dav]

Being in the UK myself, what fair is this? Great haul by the way

Uhhh it’s just a general antiques fair in Aberdeen. Not a militaria fair

Which yet again proves the old collectors adage - leave no stone unturned.

BTW, your collection is coming along very nicely indeed, Jb....

[Jb4046]

Thanks Martin. I plan to do an overall collection update when i get my summer holidays.

Great haul from one event. I would leave the MG patronen kasten as it is, it doesn't look like there is any original paint underneath the Yugoslav over paint.

Congrats!

I know now its a russian repaint, not yugo. Will make a thread about it later since there are some regions of exposed black paint!

True. My grandfather was one in 1989. Still has ptsd from the shit that happened there

[Jb4046]

I would of thought things would been under control by 1989??

[Raul]

Well my fuhrer, no. They weren’t under control, from what he told me he had bury old cars, change roof panels and shot dangerously radioactive animals (that were still alive) and bury them, so it wouldn’t get worse. But by I think 1996 everything was almost under control but the sarcophagus needed to be rebuilt. My grandfather after he came home destroyed his pilotka, so he could about forget those memories
