The SMG the Lego Special Landing Forces soldier is holding looks like a 1920 Bergman (used by Japan) or a Nambu Type 100. Can't tell with his hand in the way.

I'm surprised he has round eyes...

Looks like the Nambu type 100. take a look at the curved magazine.

Patches? We ain't got no patches. We don't need no patches. I don't have to show you any stinking patches.

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

Amazing! That a toy company would put such research into a kids toy...

That reminds me - Was the Schuco toy company involved in German arms production during/before WW II??? I seem to recall that they were bombed extensively. They certainly had experience with stampings...

I never seem to get around to putting patches on clothing...This one has been lying around my desk for ~20 years...I used to have a box of them...Assorted patches...One had a pic of a knife cutting through a pistol...Or not cutting through...

Hope this answers the question.

"During the course of the war, Märklin maintained a difficult balance of the production of war materials and toys all the way up to early 1943 when the production of toys ceased. Märklin had the task of producing the Entlastungzunder 44 (E.Z. 44), a device commonly used to prevent the removal of mines which would detonate when lifted. These pressure-lifting devices required special fuses, springs, and clockwork mechanisms. Märklin’s penchant for producing precision technical toys suited them perfectly for this task. Although Märklin is known as the primary producer of the E.Z. 44, some examples have been found with a marking which is believed to be that of Shuco, a German toy manufacturer."

Now we know that it doesn't take a psychology degree to figure out that whole thing about suppressed desires!

It's obvious we'll have to look elsewhere for love...

[BTW: Zorba - I need the size for your shirts]

[Zorba]

Skirt or shirt?

14-16, sometimes 12 in the former; XL in the latter!

Sorry, I'm in "a mood" tonite, couldn't resist!

No, that's fine; I'm sure a 'poodle skirt' with the Nambu Forum embroidered emblem is quite possible. Maybe even a 'beadazzled' Nambu emblem. (Do you have the saddle shoes & bobby socks???)

I take an XL shirt now too; I'm no longer bilaterally symmetrical so I have to go one size bigger. That would simplify ordering the blank shirts.

Just have to find an artist now.

Something going on here I DON"T want to know about?

That "Scourge of the Pacific" patch is actually a pretty good design. In fact, I like it alot!

Cafepress is making me up a couple 328 TAS T-shirts; if they come out decent (the design is an old 3 1/2" patch) I'll see what a Nambu patch T-shirt looks like...

[Curss]

I'd buy one of the Nambu revolvers if I knew where to get ammunition. Been needing to add one to my collection.

[alvin]

worldwarsupply.com uploaded a youtube range video showing he fired a T26. He's in this business, may have some T26 ammo for sale. Contact is on his website.

OK. Got a Nambu Scourge 'Ringer' T-shirt coming. Decided to skip patch and go straight to silk-screened T-shirt. Should be interesting. This is Design Page representation; I'll post a selfie when shirt gets here next week.

[Curss]

Awesome! Can't wait to see the shirt!
