Looks ww1 era.
Hmm
Can't tell who makes that one.
Not too familiar.
Probably going to be something obscure like Yugoslavia or Brazil.
Lol

You'll be shocked when I reveal where this thing came from. I'll go ahead and say this country is not exactly known for producing firearms.
I'll give it a couple more minutes...

Nope...
That rifle is of Mexican origin.... yes, Mexican.
As to what's historic about it, well it was the first mass produced semi-automatic rifle in the world that was adopted for use by the Army of a country. It was known as the Mondragon M1908.
So yes, freaking Mexico at one point had the most advanced rifle in the world.

That thing looks German but that's all I got.

That is a Soviet produced T-26 light tank. The one pictured has Finnish markings.

Germany used them but they were of Mexican origin.

Now Darth, sure that isn't a Vickers?
Posted on 7/15/14 at 9:50 am to Darth_Vader
Who is this? And what is he famous/known for? (Although the pic may give it away...)
A bonus not for Darth (because he gets all tank related stuff): Why do the tank's sides look like it is furrowed and what was it called?
