Can you get a picture of the front taken from the side?  Do you know any details about the rifle?  If this is a real piece, it would be nice to document. 

This is new to me, so I just googled it. Congrats on an interesting and lucky find. mikie

A photo of René Leduc's Moido 2 on the cover of the Belgian VMI magazine in December 1988 Jean Chapelle at the wheel with Alain Batens in the back. The name of the guy riding shotgun escapes me right now but he was a member of the BHMVS too and owned a Bedford QL...   And also a WW2 photo of Massu in the real Moido, note that the wartime Moido Jeep was a Willys MB, not a Ford GPW    

Hi Francis, Yes, I know about the Moido/Massu connection...   When I bought my GPW back in September 1983, it was marked as Massu's jeep and I kept the markings until Normandy 1984 after which I started a first restoration. I bought it from René Leduc in Bérisménil and I think he may be the one you are referring to. He had just finished the restoration of his Rochambelles WC54 Ambulance and was selling the Jeep. By 1988 he had restored another Jeep to Moido specifications but that too was sold many years later. So I bought Moido 1 in 1983.   I tried to get back in touch with René a couple of years ago but sadly he passed away in 2020 aged 71. I did get in touch with his wife Claude though....   Attached a photo of Moido 1 shortly after I bought it from René..    

Incredible find! The last two letters might be HQ on that sign, so it may have hung on the command tent or just outside the base when it was still a full sign.

What does the bottom stamp look like, Nestor?

Those are awfully nice!   --Ski

Any comments?   Is it 798?    A non existent unit?

Hi, what do you think of this Zippo lighter? Cheers!
