You have a bayonet for the M91 rifle, you have an M38 rifle so no, you do not have the right bayonet. M38 bayonets are rather expensive, in the $200-$300 range unless you get one of the modified...

Sunday we went to the Dover Air Force Museum. My computer is acting up and I can barely type without it going nuts. I have 650 photos and will try to get a few posted when I can. We were at this...
Our trip to Delaware was pretty productive in terms of learning about military history. We first went to FT Miles which was a WWII shore battery installation. We had been there before, many years...
I'm beginning to think that may be what happened. The upper edge is rough to about the halfway point, almost like the blade was cast and they didn't finish the edge, then it is smoother, ground...
I have a family trip this weekend that I forgot all about. So I can't hit any yard sales or my regular shops. Hoping I find something where we are going. I'll enter withdrawel. On the positive...
I did look at it closer. The finish (color) is the same, but the milling is different. Not sure what that means. I would think the color would be different if it was done later but it is a...
Yes, it was made this way. At least it looks that way to me.
Found another one no one wanted which I don't understand with this one as it's from the Vietnam era. Can't find any information on it but it has the correct markings for Vietnam issue.
I was the...
Go to Gunbroker and you'll find out in about 3 days. There's one listed on there right now. Sitting at $305 at present.
The shell is Russian, for the S-60 anti-aircraft gun. Possibly made in 1974.
More munitions today. The first is a BLU 26/B Inert Cluster Bomblet:

Well, I saw a bunch of rifles for sale at a flea market today. No handguns which would require a transfer no matter what but he had a dozen rifles, all older but no antiques. This is a guy I would...
Yard Sales not much this morning, just a souvenir plate from the Patton Museum

A couple of municipalities in the US released information on where gun owners lived. I never heard any adverse results from it. Just a lot of complaints.
LOL, that is so alien to me but I'm sure normal for you. We hit deer here, by the thousands, just in my state. They put signs up to warn people about deer. I never hit a deer in my life living in...
I don't think it is a pen marking. If it is, no.
It is a Luger holster, fits like a glove, the leather is slightly marked where the pistol hits it.

This is partially a flea market purchase and partially an eBay purchase. I got an offer on the full electricians set while at a show the other night and accepted it as I've been watching it for...
There were military hospitals all over the place. The town itself was very small, not sure how much care the civilians provided. I'm sure some. I don't recall the exact circumstances behind these...
If anyone will know, this guy should:

Went to Gettysburg with my wife today and were just wandering around somewhat aimlessly and wound up in the Evergreen Cemetery. Two gravesites merit US flagpoles, John Burns who was a civilian aged...
It is a 19th century Collins stamp. It was previously used on Civil War swords. Taken out of storage for these and two other blades of the period. Shape? I don't know, this is strictly a Marine...
Bought this this morning from an older collector who says his best guess is Lithuanian Luger holster from WWII. No markings that I can find.

This morning, I found a few interesting things. As it often is, when you find something you never had before, a second one shows up almost immediately. Very weird how that happens. Guy I buy a lot...
