Would it make sense that they began dating items again after the Lend Lease Act was passed? I have found other converted scabbards from Pre WWII online or at least info on them, and none of them seem...

I appreciate you finding this for me, now I just need to figure out how scarce or common the scabbards are. Any ideas?

Sweet, I was pretty curious about it being an M1 scabbard and made in 1941 as I had not seen any info about them in researching before I purchased the item. I almost passed on it because of the...

Hey,
So I cannot find a list of US inspectors in WWII that did leather items. I have a 1941 Jeep Scabbard that has marks in several places. I am also curious if because of how early on it is made...

Ok, so for a 1941 stamp and the Initials V.D.C. is it likely that the initials are the inspector or that it was a lend lease piece sent to Australia or at least meant to be sent there before the...

In that case I will not mess with the spot where it chipped. How would you say this will effect the value on the piece? Of course we have no idea when it was added or why. But should I expect to get...

I think there is a finish of some kind added to it :-( some kind of chrome refinish. This would not have been done by the arsenal/factory right? So should I leave it as is? Or remove it. I noticed...

Thank you so much. Its been months of searching on my own. I thought is seemed kind of cheeky for a bayonet. Seemed chromish and hastily made. My buddy will be stoked to find out what it is. I...

Ugh I cant get it to upload

So I am trying to help a friend out with figuring out what kind of knife thistles is. It was found amongst other GI bring backs. It seems odd to me that is has a wooden handle and such a shiny...

Thanks for clearing that one up for me. I had gravitated towards Italy due to the leather scabbard. That is what I will list it as. Again thanks for taking the time to reply. Appreciate it.

Hey guys,
I have been an observe of this forum for a long time. Never joined until now though. Which is kind of surprising because I am a huge milsurp fan. Especially with regards to the Garand....
