Black River Militaria CII Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 (edited) The gun that Eastwood is holding has the stock folded. There is no stock on the gun in the pic of the PD fellow or the pic of the gun being held in the NY Post or Clint's Archives.Different guns?

Mike Hammer Posted November 24, 2019 Report Share Posted November 24, 2019 I think we looked at this claim a couple of years ago and determined the provenance was non existent. Many MP 40 were used in WED, why was just the one Eastwood used claimed to be found. Until the Brits post the provenance, I have a hard time buying this one.

michaelkih Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Regardless, it'd be a complete waste in that country anyways..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted November 25, 2019 Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I wonder if it was set up for blank firing or just welded up for static scenes. Edited November 25, 2019 by Petroleum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
