Need help! Dress Bayonet? Hitler youth? Fake?
This was a gift from my grandfather who collected old guns and WW2 iteams. The wooden on the back of the handle is new. I have searched and searched for this knife on the web and cant not find anything. Any info would be great
SA Dagger?
Hi,
I found this SA dagger (no scabbard) in my father’s collection. I’ve found some history on it (and still reading) and I believe it to be authentic. According to my father it is.
Can anybody confirm my claim on authenticity.
I’m also having trouble on finding the value of this type of piece.
Can anybody help?
Thanks
And now for something completely different…..
.....a Wachtler & Lange EK2.
Ok, they're very common, everybody seems to have one and they're normally very shiny and nice.
This one is a little different. (Some members may have seen it before so apologies if you're one of them.)
A Wachtler & Lange but not as you normally see them. Very dark frames and hand applied frosting.
The following is from a well respected collector who is working on some very interesting material regarding several well known premier makers.
"It is silver plated with a special frosting procedure developed by S&L. It is from the time Juncker and S&L were teamed up - short lived because of a Spanish cross dispute - and a frosting type never accepted by W&L when Juncker teamed up with W&L."
There will be more to come regarding this, hopefully in the not too distant future so in the meantime enjoy the pics!

Explosion vaacum compression. Canteen after explosion
That is the bunker found german canteen after direct hit to the bunker, heavy vacuum compression makes it too small. I love that kind of objects
Korean War Battle flag
Hi,
I went to our local military auction yesterday, it is only on every three months some great pieces there, one piece i was very impressed with was a French F/S, knife ( FSFK76 ) used by the French resistance. It went for £155, i would have loved that one but didnt get it. I came away with a bayonet for my friend and a Korean war Battle flag, ( the forgotten war ) It is a vet bring back not bad for the year. It has five normal size bullet holes and one
a little bit larger, also marked in the korean language and marked 1953. just something different.

Need help! Japanese Bayonet type?
I have a Japanese bayonet, but I'm unsure if it is a type 30 or type 99. The type 99 quillon is different than mine but the handle on the type 30 seems different. If anyone could help I'd appreciate it. The marking says c49007 on the butt end.
Another Mess I have to help clear up and some out
Well this one is not really a barn find as my other 2 are..however this place ( which prefers to remain Nameless) has asked me to sell the items they no longer want…it will take about 2 years to go through it as they are very short staffed..they have started on books so far..and you cannot believe the manuals I have…dating 1914 to the 60s so far!!
The money I get for the stuff I sell for them..goes back to them 100%…they have offered me items for my troubles…however I still give "donations" for anything I take or they give me.

Sorry I can’t tell you where it is……
But many boxes and bags have never been sorted..I have been asked to help..how can I say NO!!
Value On British Tanker Helmet?
I bought a British Tanker helmet on Friday for about 120 $. It is in really good condition and dated 1945, i can’t take any pictures until tomorrow/Monday though.
How much do you think it might be worth?
Swiss M18
I picked this up a year or so ago at a flea market for around $10. Just wondering what everyone thinks. I painted it because when I got it, it was in pretty poor shape. Not an original paint though, looked like someone took a brush to it.
