No expert on Luger holsters but WWI holsters were brown so this one was dyed later for WWII use. No idea what that does to value. Good condition holsters can go from $100-$300 pretty easily. I...

I got a new book today on US Marine Corps gear. Called "782 Gear". I'm looking through it and there's a picture of a weird shovel I bought last year and couldn't find any information on. Turns out...
I'm not sure where mine is at so I can't look but I'm thinking you put the end of the sling with the button through the rear swivel and then put the button through the hole. I usually do it so the...
Anyone in the area, Reading WWII weekend is coming up June 3,4 and 5. WWII aircraft, vehicles, Reenactors, actual veterans. A fun time.
WELCOME TO THE MID-ATLANTIC AIR MUSEUM'S WORLD WAR II...
I paid $130.00. Based the purchase on a $160.00 one I saw that sold years ago that was in worse condition. I saw the other prices after I got it home. I can find things on my computer I can't on...
Don't tell the wife, she thought I was joking when I said I needed to find the gun now.
My weird collection just got weirder today. Spotted this in an antique flea market and after figuring out what it was decided I had to keep it. Now I have to find the matching machine gun. LOL. ...
My challenge is keeping her active. She seems to want to just shut down and sleep all the time. I know she's going to be more tired than usual but she has to keep moving. I'm taking her to a...
That one seems a good possibility and does seem to be available in limited numbers. The MAC Mle 1950 might be a better option but I'm not even sure if these are on the surplus market yet.
The Cypher machines are very rare, the pouches just a little uncommon. This one was (is) carrying an old style camera which is seems almost perfect for. Seller didn't think the pouch was anything...
Sarco is selling these currently for cheap if anyone wants one. Sold as Foreign Legion holsters, they are like new but the brass rivets came covered in green crap from long term storage.
Figured...
Not a combat helmet but still pretty cool. Mike found this one for me. I can't find any markings on the interior. I don't exactly know where to look and I don't think they all were marked. Could...
Happy Birthday Mike.
Quick update. Emotionally she's up and down. Chemo is making a mess of her body. It is also destroying the tumor which is almost gone to the touch now after five treatments. It's something new...
So, get this. My wife is sitting on the porch and the mail lady, a replacement, comes up the street on the opposite side and drops off the mail, crosses the street and delivers the mail to that...
Wow, that doesn't sound right. It's a Federal offense to open someone else's mail even if mis-delivered. You must have a crappy post office.
Anyway, I got an update a few minutes ago. The...
Hasn't been mis-delivered as of yet. They simply don't show where it is. It left Miami, that's as far as the tracking goes.
I had a package a month ago that was in my hometown post office for...
I think my favorite is the package that circled around Chicago for two weeks before jetting off to Miami then to my county and then three different towns here until it finally arrived a month late. ...
My frog is lost. Originally supposed to be delivered today. Upgraded to delivery yesterday and now they haven't updated it in three days. It arrived in Miami, no idea why it went there Surely...
Still pretty sure it's standard French Infantry. The emblem on an FFL has a hollow center and the side buttons actually say Legion along with something I can't make out on them.
I do have to admit a French Foreign Legion hat is more interesting than a French Infantry hat. When I do image searches, there are more under FFL than FI but that might be because everyone wants an...
I can't say, I've learned some but not all. This is a junior lieutenants cap. Could be infantry, could be Foreign Legion I guess. The one gold band at the top denotes the rank. A full lieutenant...
I found a second one of these for sale today. Worse condition and higher price. Just thought it odd to find two in two days but that wasn't the only thing. Yesterday I found an Italian Breda...
This has been identified as an Enlisted class III cap which was introduced in 1943 for all IJN personnel.
The writing at the top says something to the effect that it belonged to Toshiro Kamimura...
It’s about the size of a jeep shovel.
