Fantastic piece Rene, I've never seen one like it. It is in incredible condition. Did they attach that to a cloth armband?

G'day,
Yes they did, I've only seen one or two photos of these in use and they where shots of the invasion of Poland at the border post.

Happy New Year

There was another thread last year about these.

Great info! I bet the drive into Poland was an exciting but dangerous change of pace for the border guys. Thanks for sharing Rene. Happy New Year to you also.
