Your are welcome. I have cousins in East Germany and went visiting them around 2000/2001. One of them was in the "Grenztruppen der DDR", one of their elite units, much like the Waffen SS.

I had travelled many times behind the iron curtain back in the days of the GDR and it had always been an experience! That sparked my interest in East German collectibles.

I also have acquired a Haenel repeating airrifle that was widely used as a training gun. Back when I had visited my cousin, they took me to a contest with those airrifles and I was surprised at the very high level of marksmanship in the general population.
