This one has the familiar webbing band around it, which one...

Thank you and welcome to the forum!

Thanks !

The use of the DP flash hider is seen in several wartime pics. The barrel extention will unscrew on mine being an old spec de-act. I will try the flash hider off my DP28.

Hi Bruce, not so lucky actually. Blow up the pics, and it will reveal a 44 pattern stock with the groove for the bayonet.

Cheers, Ade.

Cheers, Ade.

Hi Martin, in the 1960's the Red Army did a stock take and realised that they had a enormous amount of surplus WW2 small arms, including captured German weapons. Though now somewhat out dated, it was...
