    Really interesting vet boxed 'send back'.

    Ok...just got this home today. It is a Yugoslavian Model 1924, all matching, packed away with the stock and upper handguard of a Polish kar98AZ, that also retains the original sling. A T/3 by the name of Donald Haight sent this home to his wife in Sacramento, California sometime during the second world war. He served with the 912 ord HAM ( Heavy Automotive Maintenance ) He apparently built the box, took all the metal off the stock, and put all that into a canvas like pouch. Now in no way does this action fit in this stock, so what the hey?? I also found info on Mr. Haight, found his obituary online. He passed in 2009, and it does make mention of his time in Europe with the 912th HAM. Interesting piece all around. Enjoy the pics.
