Grasshopper, Please don't ASSUME that all weapons that went thru the British proof houses went to the British Military. Just the opposite is true. British military weapons with generally be marked with a Broad Arrow acceptance, not the commerical proofing that you describe, required on foreign made firearms sold commerically. Regarding Isreali army weapons: I have owned over the years, several pistols (mostly WW2 German used) that were marked with a 3 armed Hebrew letter, indicating acceptance by the IM. I've also seen several Radoms, CZ27s, PO8s, etc. that had all Nazi WaAs peened out, that I suspect were used by the Hagana (OT political content deleted by site admin-JS). Tom H.
