Modern Firearms - Welrod silent

I daresay that the ordinary GI never even got to see one let alone handle one, they were used on SOE and covert operations and designed for one purpose , close quarter assassination either on high profile targets or sentries, but they somehow managed to get over there

,
This is the first time i have seen a real picture of one as i have used one on a Video game called "Medal of Honor" Pacific assault. I was put into Shanghai on a covert operation and the welrod was the only gun I had to use once I got up onto the docks and taken out all the japanese sentries. Funny....even in video games one can tell the difference in the hitting power of a weapon. Quiet and deadly...and all it took was one shot. To see a real picture of one is very nice construction.

yes indeed. It sure makes me think theres only one way they would ever make it over here, given what it is. I wonder if maybe some were delivered to resistance groups in europe by brit opperatives?

It sure is a unique piece of WWII history.thats for sure !!

Yes. They made their way to resistance groups in Denmark.

My fathers friend was living outside Malmö (southern sweden) 1940 when Danmark was invaded by the germans and his father was actually involved with the danish resistens and brought one back.
Anyway, when he passed my fathers friend inherited it but he in return only fathered daughers and now he is A very old man and don't want his daughters to have any problems cause restricted gun regulations.
It's catch 22 somehow cause its impossible to register this weapon in Sweden without destroying/deactivate it. Sad...

Got blueprints and SOE's "instrutions" of handeling too if someone interested? haven't figured this forum out yet (how to upload images) but I will.

Yes, please post some pictures, so often you see the gun but no ancillaries. And a genuine connection too.
