Design Icons of the 20th & 21st Centuries
On second thoughts... I live in quite a rough bit of London, so I think I could probably get hold of an AK47 around here, for a few quid, should he need one!

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

A T-34 wouldn't be too hard to find. The Imperial War Museum at Duxford have at least two, one of which was very much in working order and producing its own smokescreen when I last visited!
Sneaking back home with it might be a bit of a challenge, though.

Word was that they would not sell them to the "white eyes" (Westerners). I did not try it.

Closer to home, I would have thought the Lee-Enfield rifle deserves a place. I bought one for $23 many years ago in a Canadian supermarket, so they'd certainly be around in London or Belfast. They've been reproduced on almost every war memorial in Britain, and you can't get much more iconic than that. Also, the deerstalker hat and the Mallard.

Have you ever fired one? The original kick like a mule.
But they were built to last.

Oh yes.
Good gun.

I used to head out to the firing range or backwoods with it now and again, and they certainly did kick. They were commonly used in North America by hunters on a budget. My copy, sadly, had a cut-down stock to make it lighter and more sporty-looking. Went hunting once on the aptly named Deer Island but, thankfully, didn't spot a deer -- or much else. My pal exploded a squirrel with his Winchester 30-30 and that put me off blood sports for life.
