That thing looks like it is in great shape. They can't have made too many of those things so some museum/collector is going to be very happy to have it.

Great pic ! That Jagdpanzer IV looks to be in good shape, the Sturmgeschutz looks like it might need some work. :wink: Now that BMW with the side car looks mint and its got the Hasbro fat tires just like the Indy Jones BMW. :P
Panzer M are there any more pics of this dig? I would think this may be E. Europe or Russia. Very Cool stuff.....OH and it belongs in a museum :) seems there were only 930 produced.

this is the big Panzer Salvage/sale in Bulgaria

BTW, that's not a BMW R75, but a Ural which is a clone of the R71 Bike IIRC.

I can't say if the Jgpz IV is a L70 or L48(bad angle)..but the few(1) L70 reported(confirmed)to be sent as a present to the royality of Bulgaria by Hitler himself, so it could be the Lang but rumor exist this was already found and smuggled out of the country to a private collection in western europe.....I know the Bulgarians were given StuGs(not sure on StuHs), Pz IVs(H/Js), Jgpz IVs, and artillery and small arms(panzerfaust)

On the other hand the Hungarians got Tiger Is...so maybe the Bulgarians got heavier equipment from the Germans to fight the Russians.
