    Hi guys, thought i would join up after googling your forum.

    I am collecting mainly Russian Medals and weapons now, I have a PPSH41, PPS43, M44 Nagant, SVT-40
    and approx 20 British & Russian Medals

    I got into WW2 by watching World at War with my father when I was young, I have been left medals by two members of my family and it has gone from there

    Will post up pics in another thread

    Jim

    Welcome aboard! I've got a 91/30 myself (1943, manufactured in the Itz-sumtin-sumtin factory). That thing is a beast to fire, sure lets you know you just pulled the trigger! I love shooting it! Just wish I had more time/money/ammo.

    Welcome - Just like you I developed my early interest in WWII with the help of a relative (in my case from my grandfather who was a sergeant in the US Army during WWII). I am also the proud owner of an M-1 Garand of Second World War vintage. Looking forward to your pictures!
