Fun fact, because they were separate from the Wehrmacht in weapon procurement for most of the war, the Waffen SS used different, sometimes second-rate weapons. For example after WWI, Czechoslovakia and Poland were allowed to just copy the Gewehr 98 for their (new) armies and when Germany invaded in 1938 and 1939, they kept the factories running but under new (Aryan) ownership. (Or only the Czech stake in Slovak companies because Slovakia remained a separate country.)Back in the '60s some asshole made replica SS stamps to use on guns to make them "100% authentic SS marked guns!". The stamp wasn't even the markings the SS used but no one knew that. You'll see them turn up on Gunbroker and gun shows from time to time. If anyone here wants to collect SS stuff, don't. It's all fake. That SS knife your grandpappy took off the SS grenadier he killed on D-Day? He paid $10 for that in the '70s at a gun show.
So I guess "here's my SS rifle, a Slovak ZB vz. 24" doesn't have them same ring to it.
Although the ZB vz. 26 was a great LMG that the British and Chinese copied.
True, but I found it very funny that the implication is the gf's grandpa killed and took the medals of:Soldiers don't wear their medals when not in dress uniform. Having shiny medals clinking when you're trying to do soldier things doesn't work out well. The great grandfather probably bought them at gun shows decades ago.
