Sorry, Old post

Since this quiz has been dormant for more than half a year it's probable that no-one here knows the answer to:

know somebody about number of hungarian CSRG 1915 calibrate in 7,92 mm Mauser with the cuved magazine of 31M LMG

How about giving us a clue or revealing the right answer and making a new question silviu-angel?

In the meantime my guess is none.

BTW has someone happened to see a photo or other corroborating evidence to support the view a Hungarian 7,92x57 mm calibre Chauchat with a 31M LMG magazine ever existed in the first place?
Thanks,
Markus

If my memory serves me well, two years ago we discussed the case of the Hungarian variant of Chauchat LMG http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic. ... 5#p1243714

Hi Piotr,

And thanks for the link. Interesting piece of machinery that. However surely the weapon the Hungarian officer is using is a Rudolf Frommer design as it bears an uncanny resemblance to his pre-WWI work. In fact the photo might be pre-WWI also from around the time the Austro-Hungarian army types decided e.g. that Oberleutnant Burstyn's idea of a tracked AFV wasn't worth further development.

Regards,
Markus

There's a very good likeness in Frommer's Swiss patent CH41285 from 1 October 1908 (see below). The modifications apparent in the actual gun would indicate the one in the photo is a later version though.

Since last posts are from 2010, I'm feeling free to re-open this quiz.

ID this:

[Grigoriy]

I'm not sure but it look like Menz Liliput. Not exactly the same but similar.

You're right - it is Menz Liliput. (Rare 1925 variant in 7,65mm)

Over to Russia!

[Grigoriy]

Thank you!

Next question: the photo is not very good (scanned from a low-quality printed book) but I'm sure that this weapon is not hard to identify.

[The Edge]

I'm sure that this weapon is not hard to identify.

I's harder to find someone with good follow-up question.

Your pistol is 7.65mm Welrod

[Grigoriy]

Yes, it's Welrod silenced pistol.

Sorry if the question was not good.

Over to you!

[The Edge]

Sorry if the question was not good.

IT WAS a good question, but it seems that this quiz players all perished last year.

Maybe this question will arise some of them - a familiar-looking longarm:

[Kantemirovka]

It's the T26 "Tanker" Garand.
