This is my second I just passed to my Son my first one in the first five probably of my collection last Christmas as a gift.That VZ-24 was matching down to the stock pre-war smooth bolt he hits targets out to 300yds with iron sites he says the AR boys are amazed.He is stationed at Hollerman AFB in NM.

Looks a bit similar to a Walther PP.
PPK/s - the US version made because of the GCA68. PP frame, PPK barrel and slide.
Those look a lot more like the soft rubber Pachmayrs.
Mine came with hard plastic grip panels from the factory. The gun is amazingly accurate with the proper ammunition. The first set of reloads I made up for it was shooting under 1.5 inches at 25 yards. The Hansen (PPU) ammunition that those cases came from would not hold a 1 foot group though.
At one point, I used mine for a concealed carry gun.

The Pachmayrs will provide a better no slip grip.
I like having both options. The Pachmayrs are good for carry but it's nice to have walnut when you want to dress it up

Quite a few depending on the category.
Plenty of folding knives. Enough that I have lost count.
A couple fixed blade knives.
A few bayonets to go with various rifles that I own. A couple are spikes (No.4 Lee Enfield) so perhaps they don't really count.
A pretty nice GI Machete.
Three Katana if the broken one is not counted.

Remainder of that British (?) Officer on D-Day...
It was Major Jack Churchill, 2 of IC of n° 3 Commando during operation Archery at Vagsoy (dec 27, 1941) and later leading n° 2 Commando in Italy (sword and archery).

Thank you for correction, dear Frog.
Thought you may like this, photo of "Mad Jack" Churchill leading his men ashore carrying his sword at the Combined Arms Training Establishment Inveraray, Scotland in October 1941. Inveraray is very near to where I live. Seemingly "Mad Jack" was the last person to kill an enemy soldier with a longbow during D-Day. Somewhere I have a photo of him with sword in one hand and revolver in the other.

Hi AL90. Great picture!
He never served in Normandy, but in Sicily, Italy and Yugoslavia where he was wounded, captured, and later illegally deported to Orianenburg, from where he escaped, was recaptured and re-escaped again.
The anecdote when he killed a German with a longbow was in France on may 27, 1940.
