Hello.im looking to buy a british no5 jungle carbine bayonet.I dont mind if its well used so long as its complete and with sheath.Pm me with pics and price.Thanks for looking.
Here are some photos taken 4 years ago when I was 14 years old. I have been collecting since I was a little boy ( 7 years old). I saved all my money and worked very hard to get money to buy militaria. I was very interested in the history of WW2 and talked to lots of war vets, and they often had stuff from the war lying around that I could have for my collection. And that was better than Christmas for me! I also read books about ww2.
But when I was about 17 years old, I came back from vacation that summer and I found that 90% of my collection was stolen. The burglars had taken most of my stuff, and what they didn`t take with them they broke or left in the trail with militaria left along the road as they were in a hurry. Some of the stuff that was stolen was:
11 - Mauser 98k
3 - Lugers p08
4 - Full infantryman`s Equipment ( 2- Tornister backpack and 2 - assault pack)
+ lots and lots of field equipment!
8 original German helmets (including 1 single decal (95%) kriegsmarine helmet that was given to me buy a German vet that served at a costal artillery defense base here in Norway.)
2 - replica German helmets.
Bayonets an knives, china, uniforms, Norwegian infantry mod. 1918 uniforms ... it just goes on and on...
The only things I was left with was my SS- muser and some home front stuff from my family`s ww2 actions against the Germans during the war (These things where in a different location)
I was so mad that I could and probably would have beat the robbers to death! I partly lost my interest for collecting ww2 militaria after that , but it has become a part of me, and I can't stop. I am back now after a year with no collecting. Last week I decided to start again. I just can`t believe that other people's stuff can`t be left alone! :mad:
Just before I went on vacation the summer my stuff was stolen, I had talked to a museum that was interested in some of my stuff, and would like it on display in their museum..
After the burglary I started slowly collecting German WW2 photos from Norway, and now I have about 1200 photos. Figured that photos wouldn't be as likely to get stolen, so now I have a nice little collection of photos :)
My photo collection can be seen here:

I started collecting seriously at 16, and that`s when I got most of the valuable stuff. But unfortunately I don`t have pictures of these items, I do not know why I didn't take pictures of them. :(
So anyway, here are some photos of the stuff I had when I was 13 -14 years old :):(
I’ve been a member for about a year now but this is my frist posting, hope you enjoy. I will post individual photos later.
don't know if its real, runes look weird and too close together any opinions, thanks?
I was wondering if someone could help identify this ribbon… I don’t think it is a US award at all. The ribbon is very strange, not symmetrical at all… Perhaps an award from another Allied Nation? There is no medal to go with it… I decided to reproduce it to the best of my ability on the computer because the actual ribbon is very worn and the colors faded… Thanks for the help!

I wanted to know what these markings on the shell of one of my helmets meant. All I know is it is a british or canadian helmet made in 1942. Can Anyone tell me what the other markings mean?
The markings are C L / C and then a 50 then 1942
