French Resistance No4Mk1.

[30Three]

This came to via a friend who knows the son of the local resistance fighter that collected the parachute drop and stored it after the war.
I had heard about it some time ago and would occasionally ask if it would become available. That paid off in May when I collected it. Took 5 months for the paperwork to get done.

Your rifle is special only because of the story, so I trust you've documented everything you possibly can for the future? Most WW2 veterans have now "been promoted", my Dad among them, and even their sons [like me] are getting old; so whatever you can record now is important - it will all be impossible to replicate in the future.

Thats some sound advise Rob, Its surprising when were looking for info etc and realise how much has gone to the grave. One thing I would say to 30Three after you document it, I'd keep it low profile .............if you did let everyone see, Im sure there would be a lot more rifles suddenly surface from the same source......
