This reminds me of the 1950's shipments from Sam Cummings and Interarms. Lugers cost about $35, mail order. One of the Interarms salesmen in Alexandria, Virginia, told me that every crate shipped from Europe was a "treasure hunt." We poor students couldn't afford to buy more that a couple Lugers back then. I've tried to make up for that since then, though.

Looks like most of these pics came from this period.

Uprising directly in central cities sounds like a shortcut, but usually spells disaster

In 1920s, Chairman Mao summarized "Russian could succeed in cities because they had a lot of Proletariat. We could not do that because our Proletariat class is very small and weak in cities. Majority of population are peasants, it's impossible to be successful without their support".
