I forget where I got the idea Peter. I've thought that for 40 years though. I just remember the Turk weapons needed a bit of...how shall I say...care? I remember an MP38 out in Ormaphita fields that had not a lick of finish on it, shone like a new silver coin in the desert sun. His mag pouches were stark white...
