I have only seen one French prewar MAS m1936 for sale up here and it was bascally a parts gun but it was original and not a German rework or postwar French rebuild. I thought the asking price was...

And keep in touch Pat, I'll check my files when I have a chance. I'm pretty sure that I have more info - either pics of markngs, etc and maybe written sources as well.

I'm sort of in the hunt for...

Pat, a good place to post your question is on the Gunboards forum. I have seen info there on French rifles used by the Poles. I am working on covering this area for the sticky, but I have been away...

Sarmatian,

Thank you for your contribution. The thread may be old but its never too late to learn more about the Wojsko Polskie and their accoutrements in the 2nd Republic era. Not much...

Why was it deactivated?

Thanks for starting this thread. I have never heard of Polish soldiers being deployed to West Africa before. Would you provide more history please, plus some details of where in West Africa the Poles...

I see your post was made this year (2014) but the game was due to be published in 2009. Do you have a copy or know if it was indeed manufactured for sale?

Out of curiosity - any gamer reviews?

Thank you for this information Stefan.

Thanks Tony, that's exactly the buckle I was referring to. Its so sad to learn of his eventual fate. I would like to see a retrospective of Polish artists and medal makers who designed the 2nd...
