    Default MG17 ammo belt from stalingrad

    I received another interesting package from Volgograd today, and I have to say that im very pleased with its contents. I got an awesome MG17 ammo belt, along with some various Luftwaffe aircraft parts. Each link of the ammo belt appears to have a makers code of some sort. I see two types of codes. "acw" and "fnh" I'm not exactly sure what factory those codes belong too, perhaps someone here knows? I thought this would make a great addition to my Luftwaffe collection. The MG17 was used on countless German aircraft during WW2, so there's no telling what plane this came off of. In the end its a cool piece of WW2 history that came from the historic area of Volgograd/Stalingrad. Just thought I would share it with you guys.

    Best regards- Jarret

    "Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated

    My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
