Yeah, i was very pleased to find these items... i found them both on the same locations about a yard away from each other. But it could be british made..
However it found them in Overijssel the netherlands which was liberated by canadians.
If you want i can post some pics in cleaned state.

A relic MP40, bought here but have the history of the find location. It was recovered about 40 miles south east of Berlin, the site of the Halbe cauldron where the Ninth Army, trapped in a large pocket in the Spree Forest region attempted to break out of the pocket westwards through the village of Halbe and the pine forests south of Berlin to link up with the Twelfth Army. After very heavy fighting about 30,000 German soldiers—one third of those trapped in the pocket—managed to reach the comparative safety of the Twelfth Army's front lines. The rest were either killed or captured by the Soviets.
Sorry pictures aren't great but the wife has taken the decent camera away for the weekend.
The MP40 is unfortunately missing the pistol grip, is seized solid and the fold out stock is in a fairly fragile state, but a great piece anyway I think.
