    I did find an Abcon Corporation in California, not N.J. They are a plastics molding and packaging company. Of course, it's after 5:00 PM there so nobody's answering the phone.

    Looks authentic, nice patina on the brass. But no maker's markings?

    After doing some research on these types of belts, it appears that it's most likely a reproduction. On an authentic buckle, the state abbreviation "MASS" stamped on the back should almost be touching...
  5. Question about Mills Pattern 1881 Cartridge belt

    I have this Mills pattern 1881 cartridge belt. It has the wide brass buckle and 45 cartridge loops which would indicate that it was meant to hold 45/70 rounds. If I'm not mistaken, the Mills belts...

    Edit: I meant "camo pattern", not "camp pattern"

    I found this Russian canteen today at a Goodwill store. The canteen is Cold War era dated 1957 but the cover has a camouflage pattern I haven't...

    Is this a military pistol holster?

    I found this at a garage sale today. It almost looks like a holster for a Russian Nagant but is a little smaller. The holster would have fit a pistol that measured about 5" long, possibly a revolver....

    You're probably right. It's a nice vintage repro and I've only got $10 invested in it. Looking on Ebay, older repro Bowies like this can bring anywhere from $100-200 so I guess I didn't get took. :D
  13. Musso or Jesse Robinson Style Bowie Knife - Copy or Original?

    Does that stuff remove the bluing as well? I've used Works bathroom cleaner to remove rust but it contains hydrochloric acid, so it removes the finish.

    Yes I did. Not only are the cases magnetic, the projectiles are too. They might be steel core bullets.

    I use the electrolysis method for removing rust from alot of different items. It removes rust from gun parts without removing the bluing. I've heard though that it causes hydrogen embrittlement and...

    I thought they were pack frames when I got them, but they're too wide and too heavy. The fold-down handles are at the right height for lifting something heavy, having one dolly on each end. The...

    This was designed to carry something heavy. It appears to have been sometime around WW2, but I'm just guessing here. The dolly is made of 1-3/4" by 1-1/2" oak and has faded OD green canvas straps...
