Some rare Czech tank photos on ebay.de

Hi people,

just wanted to draw your attention to these photos currently on German e-bay showing some unusual Czech prototypes and lt.vz. 35's looking flashy as ever in three-tone camo:

not sure if anyone here shares my weak spot for Czech designs, but here they are anyway. The first one appears to be a Tatra T-III, according to this page at least:

The small tankette appears to be a CKD P-II:

Proof positive, I think, that German e-bay remains a great source of infomation. I think it's a safe estimate that half of our in-action ref pictures are from e-bay auctions, especially the early Russian and French tanks.

cheers,

PS no, I don't know the seller. And I take it there's no silly expired-auctions-only rule here?
