"Dirty birds" on K98s and P-1s attract a premium as well. Millions perished at the hands who wore these on their uniforms. Go figure.

If all the symbols that remind us of what humanity has done, symbols that inspire the future to do better, we are doomed to repeat it.... Lest We Forget.

Let's not allow this thread to derail too far. They are a nice firearm, well made, and should have been in 7.62x25mm...

Those are pieces of history. This is different, try putting a swastika on a new gun and try and sell it.

To each their own, I just think your comparison is off.
 
There’s also a lot of good Russians and eastern block ex military that served admirably and did no harm. Many have immigrated to this country and I-have met and worked with them and I love hearing the stories of their service during the Cold War and life in general under communism. One funny story an ex Polish military soldier who was a trucker and mechanic in the Polish Army told me had been given an award for developing a device to save fuel on their trucks. I asked him to explain it and basically it was a tap or valve between the fuel pump and carburetor that you would partially close and it would starve the engine of fuel and save gas. Who would of thought. —-Dieseldog!

I grew up in Hungary, under communism. The soviets were not much liked by any of the satellite countries that they oppressed behind the iron curtain. Many people were tortured and killed under their reign. A great many people fled, leaving everything behind so that they could live free in countries like Canada. The "hammer and sickle", for many, is similar to the German swastika. Something to be despised. I am very surprised that these guns would be produced with such markings put on them.

Not everyone might be aware of the history of communism in the czech republic. It is very odd to market a new czech gun with soviet markings. Would be like a new polish gun that for some reason has swastikas. Odd

I agree. That’s about the last thing I expected the Czechs to do. They are very anti-soviet... It just doesn’t make sense to me in any aspect and is not tasteful. I don’t recall ever seeing soviet markings on anything made in Czechoslovakia either.
Also they don’t use Cyrillic.
I like history, and this seems to be giving it the finger...
