The entire thing just seemed like a ****ing contest. Had he bet on the opposing team and then thrown the game, that would be one thing, but he only bet on his team winning if it was a game he was...

Pete Rose passed away at age 83 today. Hopefully this ends his lifetime ban and he is admitted to the HOF. There is a lot of love and hate for this fellow but as the all-time Hits Leader, he...

I posted on the other thread about the shell. German made for Afghanistan. Rheinmetall-Borsig is the manufacturer. The odd "square" in the circle is their logo, I'm assuming the second circle is...

I appear to have a winner. “For Afghanistan is right, but the manufacturer is Rheinmetall-Borsig.”

These Facebook guys are good.

So it’s German pre-war. The larger marking. The double circles...

This early 1920s photo shows members of the Denver, Colo., Police Dept. examining Model 1897 trench guns. As was also...

I didn't think so but there was a possibility it was for a recoilless gun and the Israelis used them. I eliminated that as the band it not pre-grooved.

I'm getting suggestions it's Italian on...

This is also in the yard sale thead but I need help with this one. I found an interesting shell at a flea market this morning. I haven't researched it much yet so no real idea what or whose it is. ...

I posted this in the yard sale thread but figured it should be here also as they aren't very common or even known.

This is a Winchester commercially sold 1917 bayonet. Not a lot known about them...

Today was one of those days that doesn't happen often. And oddly enough, it's at the same antique flea market it happened at two other times. Rare bayonets. First was the reworked cruciform spike...

I actually found something at a yard sale today. They advertised Vietnam mementos, and I didn't see the ad until 9:30 this morning so figured everything would be gone. Turns out it was just a yard...

I did some checking and there were tinned canteens. Probably all will be dated 1942, possibly 1943 as evidenced by my cup. 1941, early 1942 will be aluminum, 1942 starts the tinning which was a...

I do not have a canteen; I do have a cup. 1943 EDWARD KATZINGER

The likely problem with these is they rusted, so they were probably disposed of. Odd that I never really hear about anyone asking...

Slow weekend. Only thing remotely military is a a "tootsie toy" (not positive on maker) artillery piece missing half its tires. There were a couple of guys out with stuff, but they wanted...

It is now being suggested that there is a mole in the Secret Service and Trump has been advised to retain his own security forces to watch the watchers. Former Navy Seal and Congressman Eli Crane...

This time it happened in a red state and the governor is ordering the state police to do a full investigation. He stated it does not seem right that agencies that are responsible for the security...

The book came Monday and is really nice. I haven't had a chance to do more than glance through it quick but excellent photos of weapons, and gear throughout. Good quality paper, etc.

Hard to believe a second attempt in two months. The most glaring question with this one is that Trumps golf game was completely unscheduled. So how did this guy know to be there on that day?

The...

What was hilarious as I did not recognize the bag as I've never seen one before and I asked the seller what it was for. Without hesitation, "it's for a tent". I just looked at him and repeated my...

Not a bad day today. Two items, neither expensive, both something I didn't have. The first is a British No4 MK2* spike bayonet made by one of the more common manufacturers but one I didn't have, P....

A little better luck this weekend with more "normal stuff. First last weeks spoon.

Incredible condition.

The last bit has me wondering. Government hit job to eliminate the museum and the guns?

I can't help you with that one but a web search turns up plenty of beer steins. Just be very specific for what you are seeking.

Thank you for the review of the flea market. I won't be making the drive next year. My weekend was pretty much a bust. It's not just firearms that are drying up, it's anything surplus related. I...

Slow again this weekend. Yesterday I bought a spoon, a 23" spoon. BICO no date so likely after the 1960's. At the big yard sale I mentioned above I found a guy with some WWII official military...
