Solve the BM puzzle

That damn Aussie sold me this super item some time ago and I continue to ponder what the vet wrote on the back.

The lower is either 20 Don or 20 Dek. What's with the "=" sign also pls. Me thinks that it is a Stalingrad sniper's code but then again, the use of Jack Daniels in my youth could have impeded the thought process on this.

Pls feel to comment.

Thank you and thanks also to that damn Aussie.

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

A fine gentleman of the forum has informed me that the "20 Dek" could be December 20.

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

Eric, Sparky is back on the "Farm" as an instructor and relaying his experiences as a NOC with the Company.

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

Norm, there's just no telling. I think 20 December sounds plausible, but anything else is a mystery.

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

I tried my best and came up with Л??О?У

My 2 interpretations of that would be they are initials of either of the two following phrases:

"Fascist Invaders Can Kiss My Butt"

Or

"Sparky Was Here"

Re: Solve the BM puzzle

Gentlemen, thank you for the input. Perhaps Pashka (aka C.C.) is right-it shall remain a mystery till I get it researched.

Eric buddy, where did you come up with that?

I still think that Rick's December 20 makes alot of sense.

As for Sparky, I have sent him abroad to kick a certain cranky forum member's butt.

In all seriousness my first line was my sad attempt at recognizing Cyrillic charaters. All after that was just fun.

So the Sparkster's off on a collective farm herding Socialist Canadian mice and whatnot?
