Say hi to a Belgian weapon collector

[Paco]

Hi,

I'm Paco, mostly active on most FN Herstal forums.
However, i do have an amount of WW2 weapons, Vietnam, and other conflicts.

I'm both in the army and in civilian life I know, complicated). I'm co founder-boardmember of the Belgian Gun Collectors Association. Belgische Vereniging Van Wapenverzamelaars - BVVW
I do weapon and munition testing for living and also teach kids war history in civilian school. (Yes, i take the weapons with me)

I write for a Dutch and a French gunmagazine. Currently writing a book on the FN FNC rifle.
It seems to take forever.
I 'll post some reference pics on Belgian weapons asap. If you are in need for detailed pics on FN weapons, please say so. Let's say it is easy to touch unmodified and original weapons to me.

Below, some weapons in my collection.

Nice collection Paco, I carried FN as my service rifle for years so I'm pretty familiar with them too. The rest as illustrated, I've had most of it or shot it... We can't own any of it now. Nice to see someone still holding though.

Forgot, Have you assisted Anthony Vanderlinden for his books on FN firearms? You have some ultimate collectibles worthy of publication.
