Krag bayonet and French Gras bayonet

A couple of pictures of my Krag and Gras bayonets. I bought the Krag a while ago when I started to collect. The scabbard retains most of it's paint. The Gras's retains almost all of the scabbards paint. Picked up the Krag for 20 dollars. 100 for the Gras.

wintage Griffon safety razor

Hi there

I found this razor many years ago in old house loft.
It was hidden in paper box under the roof construction.
It would be nice to know ho it ends in that house because it is usa made razor form 1900 +-. and I found it in small poor village iin Slovakia.
It is Silaco Griffon safety razor made by griffon cutlery co. new york usa.
There ara patent dates on the box : sept.22nd 1896 and feb.2nd 1897. France : oct.5th.1897, England : apr.6th.1897.
other patents pending. there are shaving instrucions on the box too.

The Automatic Stropping Machine is a “Silaco” manufactured by Silberstein Hecht & Co. of New York. With a blade in the holder and holding the tabs on the back side, you move the razor up and down over the leather strop. It is made of wood with the leather strop and nickel plated metal parts

On the razor is written : New model safety razor Griffon. Made by griffon cutlery and co. New york USA and patent dates as on the box.

I want to ask how much money is it worth ? I found the same razor on one site and they sell it for 800+ dolars. Is realy worth that money ?
Sory for pics quality. I will post better pics later

Hi all! Offer for sale Soviet Ssch 36 steel helmet, early type! One of 2 M36 steel helmets from our collection. The history is: approx 10 year we found in one old store a bunch of over 30 pieces M36 helmets, most of them were sold many years ago. Only 2 best helmets from this bunch we kept for our collections. Now one is ready to change the owner from Alex’s collection. This is really unique chance to get the early M36 helmet in untouched, completed condition as it was found! So, the helmet is untouched as it was get stored in 1941 year and all the original dust and dirties inside and etc. are survived and still intact. We specially did not clean it! The liner and the chinstrap are original to the helmet and never been taken off from the helmet. Has ink stamps inside with 1936 year (first year of issue!!) and with size "3". Also branch number is stamped on the shell. Approx. 90% of original factory paint on it! Early type of the chinstrap, sewn in to the helmet’s loops (not fastened with rivets as on the late models). The front Red Star is early type, with fat star and without sickle and hammer. Extremely hard to find in the condition like that. It’s your last chance to complete your collection with real unique M36 early helmet!
