EK 2 Gablonz method?

This unmarked EK2 looks like it has been made using the cheaper Gablonze method, where a wire is wrapped around a template and then stamped with a die as opposed to a piece of sheet metal.

What do you think?

Important! Gravity Knife?

Greetings...

So it comes down to me asking for prices! I know some of you hate the topics were people are simply asking for "whats the price of this...that...etc." Well gents! I was offered a, appears genuine, gravity knife with the eagle and numbers matching made by "Paul Weyersberg". It does have the 'silver'/steel rivets and the wood looks real nice and solid. The only thing I forgot to check was the takedown mechanism (spring)

His asking price is $200?
Does this seem reasonable?

Totenkopf,Looks like a repro to me?

I'm looking for a Black holster that has a belt loop w/ two pouches too hold ammo in. i'd like it for only two reasons, 1) the thing holds six, seven round rows , and 2) it sits lower on my waist near my pants pocket..

paratrooper knife???

I read somewhere these knives are fakes and they were never used during WWII. Is this true? Do they have any value?

Untouched Battlefield Found - Papua New Guinea

Thought I would share with the forum this article a co-worker forwarded me. Amazing that there are still untouched sites like this.

At least now the fallen can be properly laid to rest...
