Last few Hours...

Our 2nd Kickstarter Project

Something I've always been interested in are the Aircraft Identification cards issued to armed forces to I.D. enemy Planes or Military Vehicles

Check out the video more more information on this deck

Made in the USA

By the The United States Playing Card Company

Prototype 'Aces' from the deck

This (our first) all original, full-color deck of playing cards will follow that concept but with focus on the 'Cold War' Kalashnikov rifles from Russia, China, Germany and Bulgaria

Styled after the official military Aircraft and Vehicle ID card decks, our Kalashnikov recognition cards will come in a simply designed (black & white) custom box

The cards themselves will offer silhouettes and info on the various models and variations of the famous Kalashnikov Rifles (AK47) used by the WARSAW Pact during the Cold War

Our 'Prototype' Deck, design will be similar, but will be modified for the final deck

The cards will contain information about the rifles as well as their silhouettes for recognition

Information included on each card:

Kalashnikov Model

Country of Origin (USSR, China, E. Germany, Bulgaria)

Countries 'Cold War' Flags

Dates of Production (when available)

Caliber (color of silhouette indicates caliber)

Type of Receiver (Milled, Stamped)

Materials used (Wood, Plastic, Bakelite, etc)
