Tools from the War in Bosnia

[JOHN O]

New life for a couple of AKs from the War in Bosnia.

[Chimborazo]

Nice. What's the emblem on that stock?

[Kurt]

I know it is not this...but from here the emblem looks like a lao image from Haiti.

But after you have been to Haiti every blurry thing in a photo looks like a lao image.

[JOHN O]

Thats the Serbian Double Headed Eagle,a Soldier with a Serb Militia carved it in the buttstock.

[Kurt]

That makes much more sense.

Here is a Haitian Voodoo symbol...there are lots of them so you can see how there is some resemblance when not viewed closely.

Here's a better pic of the carving,

Ah, the M70. very nice.
You can tell with those bulges on the receiver it is Yugo. I bought a kit with a cut up receiver from centerfire. It had the same insignia on the front trunion I believe. I screwed up the the barrel and trunion trying to get the barrel out, so I don't have it anymore.

Still got the butt, it has a six digit serial number like yours, but doesn't have that insignia.

You sure that isn't a KLA Double eagle insignia. It is also the Albanian national symbol.

jbuchana,what part of Tennessee are you in?I'm over by Chattanooga.

[jbuchana]

Nevermind you are right. I think the cross marks it as Serbian.

Serbian


Albanian

I have gone through Chattanooga a few of times. Went to the aquarium once. Maybe we can meet half way down 111 and shoot our AKs one day. I only have an AMD-65 ak variant.

Just to finalise the spotterdom, the cyrillic C's (S's to us) on the cross stand for Samo Sloga Srbina Spasava, which means Only Unity Saves the Serbs as I am sure Bradonja would have told you if I hadn't.

Lets hope it was prised from someone's cold, dead hands.

Lets hope it was prised from someone's cold, dead hands.

Judging by the ammount of Blood Splatters I found on several batches of AK magazines I have ,from Croatia, thats a distinct possibility.
