Nice pics.  Are those posters or card size pictures?  Nice collection
I have several Chinese propaganda posters from the 1950's and 60's with AK and SKS rifles depicted.

I would like to buy some of those, where is the best place to get them? I would like to have a nice Russian and Chinese Poster with either the SKS or the AK in it. I've done some searching for them on ebay and the likes, but nothing that was for sale really caught my fancy. Anybody know of a Secret Stash?

Some of the artwork on those are amazing. I really like the Chinese ones as they have a very good painting style.

The last two with the toddler are a bit disturbing though.

I bought a few posters from that guy(SKS Training poster, ak, etc.)  If you go on Ebay and type "Chinese Propaganda" or "Communist poster" a bunch of them come up for sale.

I do like the 20x30 posters, I have seen very nice posters in web galleries, large full color posters (not that I don't like the black and Red ones) that I like even better. I would pay top dollar for full color posters, but the ones they sell on ebay for 150+ are not the ones I like. I like the Military posters the best.

This page is great, click the links on the bottom for more.

Well, Looking at that site I found a FAQ that has links to purchase, the full colored ones are pricey but doable.

If Obama gets elected, watch for US posters to start looking like the Chinese propaganda posters mentioned here. If McCain wins, they be more like this: http://www.hitler.org/posters/jugendfu.jpg
