of these acquisitions. Most of these purchases were covered by
separate contracts, but some were covered by Lend-Lease agreement.
As the situation was getting more desperate during the Battle

but also from British and American retailers. Most of these revolvers
were issued to the Home Guard, some were supplied to the Special
Operations Executive and other military organizations. CONDITION:
