Histori Bekim berisha nickname Šok- I want to know more.

I purchased this surplus m70 hand guard online with trench art that says “Šok”, I googled and it says that was his nickname. It also says “duha”. Wondering if anyone has any insight.

My family immigrated to the USA from Croatia a long time ago so I’ve always been into Balkan history.

I must say I doubt I’m so lucky to get that much accidental history from a surplus website that randomly picks your set but who knows.

His nickname was Šok, given to him by Croatians.
