Lets see your stuff, pics

[sdh1911]

On occasion it could be a healthy thing to show off a wee bit of your collection, strickly educational. For now I'll just put up a few pics and let you fellows take from there. I'd love to see what everybody is collecting these days-SDH

I saw some British comando knives at a flea market for $55.00, they were new and had the manufactures name and London on the blade. Are they the real thing? I wanted to get one but didn't want to pay for something that was not real.

The ones I collect are strictly WW II and have small numbers stamped on the grip, they are believed to be mold #"s and cross guards must have the British arrow head (chicken foot) w/wo a number, this rule applies to type 2's and type 3's. The difference being the handles and blades. If your going to jump into commando daggers, I would invest in the Flock Book prior to large cash out transactions. As far as the ones you described they are of recent mfg. Down here they command $50. to $100, but I stay away from them. HTH-Steve

Superb arms collection, lots of stuff I'd love to have but is most illegal in my state-Steve

Here are some fairly recent gunroom pics, though not all my guns are depicted, of course.

Claven, that lathe looks new. Obviously it isn't. Did you do the paint job?

Nice piece of equipment anyway.

Yeah, I rebuilt it completely and replaced any worn parts. It's brandy-new now. It's a 1941 South Bend model 9A.

I love the whole pic sequence! It's a far cleaner version of mine (I have a 57 Leblond and 63 tree mill).The older stuff is far better in my honest opinion than the newer stuff. The guns are fantastic, all of you folks!-SDH

My collection is a little humbler...

There is one more all correct and matching '44 K98k not pictured, also not pictures are my various hunting arms, and the long No.1 Mk.III bayonet which wouldn't fit in the frame.
