1934 Minnesota Twins Contract Luger

Hugo Borchardt · 06-20-2011, 08:06 AM

I've been in Minnesota a lot lately, and was surprised at the number of people that were wearing Turkish contract hats.

Seriously, I am was amused by the similarity between the Twins logo and the Mauser TC. The "T" is identical font, and the "C" wraps around the "T" exactly the same.

The "TC" stands for "Turkiye Cümhüriyeti" or Republic of Turkey. The safety is marked "emniyet" and the extractor is marked "ates".

Simpson's has one for $11,765. It's on hold already. I hope it goes to one of the forum members. Wish it were me!
