    American Historical Foundation Knives

    I spend most of my time on the M1 Garand section of the forum. I know these commemorative type knives are not military collectables but thought that someone here might know something about them and if they have any resale value.
    A member of a Marine Corps League Detachment that I belong to donated the knives to the Detachment to sell. They are all from the "American Historical Foundation". He offered to give the Det. 60 % of the proceeds. I was asked to try and sell them on Ebay or wherever.
    None of the knives have any paperwork or boxes. We have four knives, each in a display box, as follows :
    1.) A 2nd Marine Division Commemorative K-Bar
    2.) A M7 (M16) Bayonet engraved " United Statesicon Marines Viet Nam"
    3.) a U.S. Marine RECON commemorative engraved "SWIFT, SILENT,DEADLY"
    modeled after the John Ek type commando knife
    4.) A Marine Raider Stiletto. Commemorating the battle of Iwo Jima. This knife is part of the WW2 Victory Collection (War in the Pacific)

    Any help would be appreciated in regards to what I should ask for these knives.

    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 ...

    Phil,

    I had no problem posting pictures when using Windows 7. I recently got Windows 8 and can't figure out how to post pictures. Thought it would be about the same as 7 but no. Semper Fi, Joe
