If this isnt the right place RM will fix it. :)
Dont ask how i got here, i dont even know myself.

You will need to translate, headings are on page one but roughly are
Name | Unit |Koli | Year |Period |Category|Initial | Residual
measurement |quality |fabrication|use | quality |value | (book)
There are lots of things i dont yet understand here and translating breaks the layout making it a confusing mess.
What exactly are you needing help figuring out?
well, i dont know, lol
I need to get the formats and translation right for the small arms so it makes sense, but now ive been through all the pages theres not much other than page 10 and 9 thats of interest, there is some ammo somewhere, but i lost it.
I thought it would be way more fun/interesting. But if you want a maxim gun all in cosmoline, i know a country with 30000, make them an offer
Thought you said 350000?
I gave up trying to reformat evrything and just cherrypicked some of the interesting to us parts
SKS 350,000
M38 2,350
M44 4,650
91/30 427,000
91/30 SNIPER 100
SVT 11,500
NAGANT REVOLVER 60,000
TT PISTOL 60,000
PM PISTOL 57,500
PPSH 225,000
MAXIM 45,000
P38 4,000
1911 18
THOMPSON 19,000
MAUSER 98K 16,500
VZ24 1,000
there also was mention of parts and 'trunks' which i guess is frame?
The entire list include everything including dress shoes for women, if it was in a more readable format it would be more fun.
I didnt see a serial number list though.
i changed the title now i figured out what it was
Nice thumb1 That is interesting info! Undoubtedly much has been sold in the 9 years hence, and used, seized or destroyed in the separatist conflict in the east.
Wonder how much went flying across that town recently... rofl
A Russian SkS in cosmoline ? Thats more rare then a 53 Izzy .. Next time Im in the Ukraine ill check into this matter gentleman if things don't work out with the women.. :-*
Wonder how many 1949s are in there. Maybe that is where they are hiding!
