question Unknown Bulgarian Infantry Weapons
Romantic Technofreak posted a topic in Weapons/Accessories
Hi, is there anybody who knows about these guns here? Especially the first one, which could be a machine gun or antitank gun as well. The ones in the background might be Brownings. The picture is from lostbulgaria.com. Thank you for your answers! Regards, RT -
question Unknown American Scout Car
Romantic Technofreak replied to Romantic Technofreak's topic in Pre WW2 vehicles
Thank you for your answers! Finally, I would like to know if there is any trouble if I show a picture that obviously is in public domain? Regards, RT -
Hi all, for the attached picture, I ask your identification help. You know I don't want to hurt the forum rules, so I have to confirm I am NOT the copyright owner and I have NO written permission to publish this picture. But I still doubt that this is really necessary. The picture is from another AFV forum, this one: http://www.com-central.net/index.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=73 If you check the first thread, Posting Photographs on the boards, you see there is no concern about picture copyright. If you would take German law as base, the picture is over 70 years old, so it automatically is in public domain. And even if it were not, it is hard to prevent publishing a picture that is already published. Normally, it is sufficient to tell the source, what I did. So tell me if you still see trouble. I could have gone to the other forum too, but I expect more expertise here to concentrate and to make further use of this also. Now, if you please and are able to, tell me the type of this American scout car. Googling for "Scout Car Fort Bliss" and so on delivered no matching results. Thank you, and regards, RT

question Unknown American Gun Tractor
Romantic Technofreak replied to Romantic Technofreak's topic in Tracked vehicles
Thank you for your answers! When you google for "M33 prime mover", you can see it. So it is found! Thanks again, and regards, RT -
Hi all, this is my first request here. In this particular case, a written permission to show this picture exists. It is from inilossum.com, a site in Italian language, politically not correct, but you find such things when you are interested in the WW2 theme complex. The site owner states he claims NO copyright about the pictures he shows in his site, but he wants to be mentioned as source. Object of interest is the artillery prime mover shown in the picture. It is towing a 240 mm cannon. The site owner designated it as "M-7", but a "M-7 Priest" looks very different to that one, at least in my eyes. Well, the Amercans used the letter "M" to a lot of different military equipment, so the designation may be, surprisingly for me, correct. I also experienced the phenomenon of type variability, meaning one particular vehicle type can appear in very differing versions. So, what would you say? Thank you for your answers! Regards, RT

introduction Technofreak, A Romantic One
Romantic Technofreak replied to Romantic Technofreak's topic in Introductions & Welcomes
Thank you for changing my ID, safariswing, and thanks for the welcoming words. I don't want to argue, and I know that you know exactly what you are doing. Thanks for telling me what already happened. Don't get me wrong, it is definitely NOT my intention to break laws and rules, and it is definitely NOT my intention to post copyrighted material. I want to post pictures I found ONLY on freely accessible sites like flickr.com, where other people post pictures A) they have shot themselves and have no objections that they get spread further B) in good faith that they are not under a special copyright reservation. If I ever see a copyright mark attached to a picture or a website, I shall not post it right away but contact the owner first. But, as much as I know about such people, if they are really concerned about their copyright they also know what they are showing, so I guess a following request to this forum would be highly improbable. And if I should have made a mistake, I would be sorry about that. Then it would be the best thing to remove the picture a/o the posting. Regards, RT
