We have a solid collection with some uncommon pieces here, sadly our gov. doesnt give a shit about culture so this museum is pretty underfunded.

To be fair it was an EXCELLENT museum in spite of it's limitations. Very well displayed and curated. There can always be more pieces and of course things stop at 1991, which is defining modern history, but what we expected (rubbish) and what we experienced (excellence) were very different things. For me, the biggest surprises were the British Boyes anti tank rifle (inside) and German DFS230 Glider frame (outside).

@@Codbotherer Boyes were delivered by British to both Chetniks and Partisans. Large amount was delivered, in 1945. it was second most common AT rifle, after Soviet delivered PTRD, and more were in inventory than PTRS. They were (with other AT rifles) retired in the 1950s, but stayed in the army inventory until about 1969, when they were transferred to Territorial Defense, where they stayed in inventory as "Teska puska, 13.9mm, Mk.1 (e)" "Heavy rifle, 13.9mm, Mk.1(English)" as 6th class of war equipment (obsolete equipment for which there is no trained personal). There are some rumors that some were used in 1991-95 as general AMRs, but there is no photo proof of that and I doubt it since already in the 1950s there was a ammo shortage for Boyes. DFS glider was from German operation Rosselsprung, only times Germans have used paratroopers and glider troops in the occupied Yugoslavia at larger scale.
