Interesting goodies. Is that an authentic Fairborn Sikes knife?

[Aussie48]

Waffle mag? if your referring to the plastic magazine more like a Steyer AUG

[A. F Medic]

I think it is, despite the crappy images. I was hoping that somebody could make a better decision then me on the skyes knife. With the box of mags, I did that the waffle mag might be a .223. I think in the other box are two stick mags for a German machine gun (MP40?) I have had two stick mags before, did not need them, and got quite a bit of money for them

Aussie48--Your are right about the Steyer mag! Found a rifle and a mag image.

Aussie48, You were right about the Steyer AUG mag!Found a AUG with a clip. Thanks.....

Bit bloody hard with the small photo but the Sykes had a metal scabbard and that looks like leather. Mind you the real scabbard may be inside the leather like a bayonet frog?

I think the F-S knife is genuine, but it's hard to tell by the picture. The sheath has been altered of course.

[John Wyatt]

Sorry, but I don't see how anyone could give an accurate assessment of any of those items with the photos provided.

[A. F Medic]

No problem. I was hoping some thing might jump out at somebody. They are crappy images but the best I got. That tray of magazines grabs my interest but I probaly will not know what they are. Thanks.

Hi, I don't collect knives, but can't say I've ever seen a metal scabbard on a Sykes knife, always leather, usually metal tip ... Is this perhaps an Aussie feature?

No they didn't. They were leather with a metal tip.
