    Panzer IV (Pz.Kpfw. IV) ex hard target - auction

    in German Vehicles

    Posted

    yuuup!

     

    my opinnion is that they made a very good deal after all

    even thought it looks quite gloomy project at the first sight

    i´m sure that all heavy metal / softskin enthusiasts in this forum

    consider it more attractive than the broken 10 000 000 $ ming - dynasty vase

     

    ..................

     

    and

    one important thing

     

    it was government auction and it has legal papers

     

    originally it was bought from germany 1944 so all bought german stuff stayed in here

    german property, captured vehicles, airplanes, shipps and engines etc equipment

    had to send to russia 1945-1952 (war reparations) after Lappland war 1944- 1945

     

    ...........................

     

    by the way

     

    nowadays if you go to Golan heights Syria to buy "fully loaded" pzkfw IV

    .... it is quite possible that your loose head comes back in the same container with your panzer IV
