Thread: Walnut and blued steel,

Wow thats unbelievable

Where did you find it, must be a story there?

Thanks for posting.

Woops typo DOM '73 so she's done 50 laps of the Sun,although the donar Walnut tree might have already done a hundy before that.Disceased estate.Every job has it's perks.If you were a US GI stationed to the cold war front line in West Germany looking over the Wall you could export back to the States Euro firearms less customs,excise,taxes,wholesalers bla bla thru their PX exchange system.Freighted in the hold of a Herc so no transport costs,etc.Dont know the full ins & outs of the scam,but think you were officially allowed one firearm per year.Every grunt stationed over there took full advantage to cash in on the scam to top up their greenbacks.Flog them off once back Stateside.This one according to it's attached documentation was shipped by a Major who perhaps didn't need the coin due to an elevated rank salary?May have got stashed in his safe once returned?The rest is history & now it's in mine
