Yard Sales, Flea Markets and Antique Shops 2023

[Aragorn243]

Today was a very good day. Flea Markets. First item is a pair of Israeli 106mm recoilless rifle practice rounds. Two different types. The first is one piece with the exception of the base and possibly the fuze. This is the one with writing painted on it. I believe this one was made in 1975. The second is two piece with the shell portion being separate from the base. It looks like it is held in place by two allen screws with the base secured the same way. This one appears to have been made in 1959 but I don't read Hebrew so not sure on the dates. $100 for the pair with the crate which is for 105mm tank rounds. Each shell weighs about 80lbs. It appears the crate actually holds three shells if you swap the ends. The second item is an early WWII Astra 400 holster i very good condition, soft, flexible and complete for $25. I have two of these that are in bad condition that I paid more for. Ebay currently has a couple listed for over $200. Shocked to find the cleaning rod still inside it's pocket. The Astra I had. Third item appears to be a military issue Kukri but it is unmarked. Got it for $30. And the wife didn't complain about any of it. LOL.

You surely excel in this sort of thing. The kit you come up with, and what you score it for impresses the likes of me, at least.

This is how I spend my free time and I've been pretty lucky so far this year. I can get in dry spells where I don't find anything for a month. I am lucky to live in an area very heavy with antique shops and flea markets. The yard sales haven't been so good the past few years but I still find things from time to time.
