How is one of these classed in the UK, i.e. as an air rifle that any adult, over the age of 18 can buy, or is it classed as a "realistic imitation firearm" with the associated restrictions on who can...

This postcard photograph of mine is believed to date in the time frame of the very late 1800's to the very early 1900's and so probably about 1900. Looking at your photograph, the uniform looks a...

For an "antique lantern" it doesn't appear to have many dings in it and knocks to it which would make me question whether it is actually a reproduction lamp as copper is a soft metal and dents...

The go any where transport.

Post 4, I did state "at a later date", i.e. after a peace deal with Germany had been signed.
