Our Assessment: As the 1950s started, the victors’ celebrations that followed the end of World War II were fast fading in memory as the fear of communism and totalitarianism grew. Large-scale battles and clashes between whole armies were a thing of the previous decade as a new model of guerilla warfare took its place, requiring new weapons to be fielded. Fabrique National would put forward the Fusil Automatique Leger and win the hearts of many European allies, but not the United States as they adopted the M14. Today, the FAL continues to be a popular rifle for collectors across Europe and the United States, garnering an almost cult-like following for good reason. This DS Arms “Hebrew War Hammer” Officer Version is built using an IDF Israeli FAL Kit. It is made from forged parts that are higher quality than most FAL parts available on the current market, and has unique Hebrew lettering across its body. This rifle is in Fine condition, with some operational wear but no signs of abuse or extensive use. Please see our photo and good luck on your bid! -L.S.
