Latest find. WW2 British EAC Mk.III compass which is in pretty good shape for 102 yrs. old.

I acquired a Schrade-Walden H-15 WWII era combat knife, sadly minus the sheath, for a very reasonable sum. I know that scabbards are readily available on EBay so I should find something.

I have a shot at picking up a Schrade WWII era H-15 combat knife. I am passingly familiar with the Ka-Bar, Ek, Cattaraugus, Sykes-Fairbairn, etc. knives but this is a first for me and (I assume) not...

I love the look and feel of these single actions. Your Uberti is beautiful but my arthritic thumbs have difficulty with single action pistols. I had one like yours, an original, and the only way I...

Good day Jim! I trust you and yours are well. I actually won this in a US auction but it was described and priced as a run-of-the-mill New Mod.#3. It was my research that found out the Japanese...

For your interest and information, this is (as mentioned in the header) a S&W New. Mod.#3 in .44 Russian. The pistol is in excellent condition with near pristine bore and chambers which is rare in...

OK, I have the stein in my hot little hands but I need help translating the unit. The riband around the rim reads; "Drag. Regt. (2 Wurtt.) No.26.1 Gsk. (could also be Esk.-see pic) Stuttgart". Now,...

OK, I finally managed to convert the webp format to jpeg and capture the picture of the actual mug. I'm getting this on Sat. so I'll have all the good quality pics I need. It's a vintage Lithophane...

I don't know if I didn't explain it well (call it a senior moment), but I'm talking about the beautiful colourful vintage steins that I think date from the late 1800's and very early 1900's, so maybe...

I have a shot at a lovely Lithophane vintage German beer stein. For whatever reason I can't save the picture of the actual stein. It's named to the owner and I think it's from a dragoon regiment. ...

They were sold to me as blanks. The one with the ignition cartridge for sure was not a blank but I believe the other one was. I'll be putting them up for sale on my table at the Orangeville gun...

UPDATED; With some better pics of the bases. One of the shells was not a blank and still has the rod in the interior.

I had a heck of time loading up the pics but here ya go!

I have a chance to pick up 2 brass 105MM howitzer cases. They're not damaged but show some verdigris and heavy tarnish on 'em. I don't want to overpay but I don't want to rip off the estate either....

Under the safety is a poorly struck "H B" or maybe a crows foot and then the B. Under the serial number is a very faint "II60583" or the "II" could also be an "H". Under that it looks like A A with...

Picked this up recently at a pretty fair price. It looks to be a refurb of some sort but there are some questions about it. The bolt (#3 head) is scrubbed so no serial number. I can't find any FTR...

I found (among my old bits and pieces) a cleaning kit for the FN C1 rifle. It is missing the combination tool but it has all the jags and brushes as well as the pull-through so it's as complete as I...

Alas, the rifle is currently out of my hands. When I get back up north, I'll take the snaps you've requested but it'll be a while.

Okay, I put the bayonet up for discussion on an military blades forum. I'm now informed that it's an Sg14 as the blade is 310 mm. I'm told that if it was the S84/98 it would have a 250 mm. blade. ...

I have a somewhat unusual No.3. It's a BSA made in 1918. I assume, from the condition, that it was made late war and never actually issued. The pictures show some of the interesting stamps on it. ...

Thank you! It's a shame that the bayonet is in such a sad state. No locking mechanism, and some moron tried to put an edge on it, probably with a grinder.

OK, I won the lot. The sawback bayonet is in good shape but no unit stamps and the manufacturers name is almost totally gone. I assume it was not deeply stamped to begin with. There is what looks...

Thank you all for your input. It was in a local estate auction and I bid on it and won. Among the lot is a very nice WWI British military compass and a run-of-the-mill Pat.'07 bayonet, also without...

Purported to be a SG1884/98 German WWI sawback bayonet. Unfortunately, there's no scabbard with it. Any idea of a fair market value? The picture without the scabbard is the actual item I'm...

To all of you, thank you for your input. Much to think about. Should I acquire it at a decent price I'll revisit this thread, and update with pics and more info. .
