    Talking Ultra rare Ka-Bars

    Attached are photos of two of the rarest U.S. Military fighting knives made in the 20th century. when we talk in terms of rare fighting knives we are usually talking of numbers greater than 100,000. With these we are talking just several thousand. One is the Robeson Suredge U.S.iconM.C. with an un-molested blued blade and the other knife is a "Brown" handled Utica Cutlery, while you may on occasion find one with a black handle, this being a Korea era piece. The brown handles came into WW II as a secondary contractor, very rare indeed. If your lucky enough to own either one of these you can get very large payment from advanced collectors, These items are brought to you by my PIC-SDH

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    i really like your photos , they are well done and user freindly , ,
    while not a knife collector as such , i do have a few basic examples : an early OC Kabar marked USN mk2 , in a USN mk2 scabord , i received this one from my father-in-law , he was in the silent service , and a Case M3 knife in an M8 scabord .......so i do appreciate what you are showing us , although im not as up on the relative rarity and values ,
