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:

Jim's Tennis

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...

I don't think they did anything new. Obama came out with this when he was President, and I don't even think they changed the wording. All they are doing is changing the perception of what they are...

Yard Sales pretty much a bust for surplus today but bought half a dozen military books, mostly WWII, three on tanks, two on the Pacific naval air war and one on the US in WWII, and a toy gun for dirt...

Here's the scabbard. I smoothed out the edges a bit with sandpaper and a soldering iron so it looks better. It will do until I find something better.
...

I was actually thinking of cleaning up the scabbard a bit making it look more "professional". The guy took one of the modern soft plastic machete scabbards also military marked and cut it in the...

Not really a collector of these but I like them. The first I don't remember how I even acquired. I've had it a couple of years. Signed by the German pilot a 5 kill ace.

I don't know what exactly it is but I like it. Thinking a small contract perhaps for cutting the brush in Saudi Arabia. Not sure what type blade to call it. Looks like a cross between a Bolo and a...

I'm hearing within three days. One or two of them are already past.

First impression is it's a shop project.

I stopped in today and picked it up. I did end up getting a 10% discount.

It smells fishy alright. It is looking like this attack was allowed so long as it was kept minor or ineffective.

One theory about the nearby proxies is that they could be hit immediately and...

The antique shops I hit are mostly co-ops meaning they have hundreds of different dealers in the building so finding the actual seller at any given time to make a deal is difficult. Not saying it...

Closest I've been is Saudi Arabia. Not my favorite place.

It does, older machete style. But the lettering in parallel is what makes it post Vietnam. It's a nice piece, I may end up getting it anyway but then again, if it isn't military issue, not...

Probably China and North Korea for some time now. Russia was broke for a long period.

The good news with this is that they supposedly shot down 99% of the attack. Makes you wonder why the Russians are having so much difficulty. It seems apparent that their technology is NOT as good...
