Non German guns used by Germans in WWII
The Germans used weapons captured from the various countries they conquered to supplement their own weapons supply.
I just obtained a prewar French Mas 36 and stamped in small letters just under the serial number in the stock is a small stamp, LK5.
The theory is that this is either a German capture & check mark or possibly a German unit assignment stamp. However there are apparently no German documents known so far to prove this theory.
A number of rifles from various countries which the germans fought or took over have been observed having a similar stamp there, either having a LK5 stamp, or other numbers after the LK. The French ones know with that stamp, all have the LK5. There is even a British Enfield having this stamp.
In an attempt to find more guns having this stamp to help add weight to the theory, could folks with prewar or WWII period guns other then German made ones, look to see if that stamp is present on their gun. The stamp is quite small and could be missed easy. It is usually located on the butt stock near the butt plate. Thanks for any help. Ray

Swastika on Helmet “Stahlhelmbund”
What are your thoughts on this one chaps?
Although dignified in at least two respected publications, I feel that it is a fake, or rather should I say, a pure fantasy item from the 1960's or 1970's.
Consider the in theory period of issue and wear. Die stamped aluminium and in multiple parts ? I think not.

David

Arnhem: 65th Anniversary
Hi Guys, in just a few weeks time it will be the 65th Anniversary of "OP Market-Garden".
For 12 years running I attended the anniversary commemorations. Sadly the last two years I have missed the event due to finances. It costs at least £1000 to do this trip. But I will not be missing it this year for anything!
The organisation which handles the vintage vehicle and re-enactment side of things, Airborne Battle Wheels Oosterbeek, can be seen here:

Cheers, Ade.

Swords
The Samurai were privileged to wear two swords and at one time had the right to cut down any commoner who offended them. One sword was long; the other short. The long sword was more than 24 inches. The short sword was between 12 and 24 inches.
The Samurai often gave names to their swords and believed it was the soul of their warrior ship. The oldest swords were straight and had their early design in Korea and China. The Samurais desire for tougher, sharper swords for battle gave rise to the curved blade we still have today.
This is the strongest and best performing Japanese style Samurai blade. The use of Swedish powdered steel, used in the construction of these swords, results in outstanding quality and performance. Strength, edge holding, and beauty have all been significantly enhanced by the use of this steel along with the complex folding process. The tsuba is steel and engraved with a Samurai drawing his sword. Each of these blades is individually hand forged and folded, heat treated, and mounted. Even with these design parameters each sword is unique.
Japanese swords are fairly common today, antique and even modern forged swords can still be found and purchased. For those who really like to have such exotic looking Samurai katana we offer them these katan at low and cheap prices. Just select and add, you will have the katana you like.
