I don't think that anyone has suggested that "bring backs" would have the marking.

"England" is widely used by Americans to refer to the whole of the UK which people in the UK often think is...

I have seen it, the country of origin physically marked on the knife, as a US import mark, but it may not have happened that often.

It's still old and vintage but tourist Kukris have been about for a very long time.

I thought that was a US import requirement for a time requiring the country of origin to be stamped on the blade. Like I have seen some blades stamped with England on the blades imported into US. It...

Quite a lot of the antique Nepalese Kukris were unmarked while some had Nepalese markings along the back edge.

But India and Pakistan carried on using the Broad Arrow long after independence.

Ask for a partial refund.

When my family returned from living in Australia in 1914 among the souvenirs were a number of Aboriginal spears. Sadly these somehow got "lost" prior to WW2 in a house move and the only item that I...

Some facebook groups appear to have some strange rules about who can post, comment and when. When I tried to join a certain fb group recently, after being emailed and notified that I could now post...

Yes, the place where the largest autojumble in the world is held.

Aragorn, I'm not sure how much of your spear would have originally had a bright shiny finish and how much would have originally been a blackened finish. Many years ago I did do a little bit of...

You'd think that if they were going to the trouble to take a posed photo they would at least stick a mag on the gun. Or do they think that the people looking at the photo are too stupid to realise...

It is surprising how much these Indian short SMLE bayonets have gone up in value or how much is being asked for them now. When I purchased my first example, a Mk2, I only paid around £15 for it...

I have mentioned it before but during the 1940's, when my father was still at school, at one of the schools he attended, the headmaster had served as a British army officer during WW1. My father...

I like the racking for the No.4 bayonets on the wall.

Does anyone know the history of these WW1 dated Colt revolvers in .455? I'm assuming that it was a British government contract because we couldn't make enough Webley revolvers of our own.

I...

It's what items that the 995 other dealers might have that are not military dealers that I would be thinking about, not the 5 dealers who probably know exactly what they have and what they can get...

Interestingly, as I understand it, these aircraft have the most powerful engines fitted to any Western turboprop aircraft. Again, as I understand it, these engines are "free turbines" which means...

I thought that this video which I came across by chance is quite good of an A400M landing and taking off at RAF Northolt.

I remember my sergeant major in the cadets, more than 40 years ago, saying that "The Bren was so accurate that they had to off-set the sights." I daren't say anything but thought to myself that it...

You appear to be reading the article as the transfer of Brent to Ireland occurred C.1940 but if the transfer occurred 2 or 3 years earlier there would have been no knowledge of what was to follow in...

The antique centre that I visit fairly regularly has a few military items and occasionally I'll buy something. One of the dealers had a Victorian, slate, mantle clock, extremely heavy, on his stall...

I took the article to imply that the transfer occurred pre WW2 in the late 1930's before the fall of France in 1940.

Probably still worth looking at if you're passing. The antique mall that I visit only ever has a few military items but sometimes I find something that I want.
