Dear Forumites,
This weapon was posted on a a russian forum. While it's origin is rather mysterious, there is an interesting story. Per its owner , this weapon was brought to Russia from the UK. It was allegedly manufactured in the 1920s in Sheffield, and the Western Powers sent it to the Ismaili Centers in India and Afghanistan. From there it was presented to the members of the anti- communist Basmatch movement who at that time conducted guerilla war against Russian Communist forces. Does anyone here know anything pertinent to this story? ![]() ![]() |
