I think if the guns were shipped on pallets they would have been crated and the crates would be packed on pallets. Shipping from a old iron curtain country would never have been loose weapons. I categorized the guns only on the strange markings and not that they were from the same era or storage depot. I know the Enfield did not come in a crate dated 1947. I am just happy that this thread is getting a life of its own as the more that see it the more knowledge will be shared. I'll say it again, I have no problem believing something is very strange at the least with these two guns, just won't believe something very strange NEVER happened.
