This is a F-86H maintenance manual that belonged to my grandfather when he was in the USAF stationed at Nellis AFB in Nevada. I found this about ten years ago when i was younger and now i’m trying to keep it from falling apart, so i put all the pages in sheet protectors. when i found it the binder that it was in was completely eaten by bugs, but all the pages are still there. I think it is amaizing my grandfather still remembers all this stuff.

I have a very (for lack of better terminology) a very "plain Jane" Japanese sword which was brought back by a friends father after the war. We have several digital pictures and would like to know more about this item. I do not think it is worth anything as the workmanship is rather poor but it still has value as I do believe it is from that era and as such should at least be interesting from that stand point. I post several pictures of the sword here and I have several posts on other sites that are translating the writing for me. Any information would be helpful. My interest here is purely academic and not monetary as I have mentioned, it very likely has no real value except to history.
Not too long ago I got me this nice 1954 dated helmet.
I always liked the sturdy high quality of these and now want to ask
about the meaning of the stamp inside the dome.
It reads :
KZWM
1954
17/12
Could anyone shed some light on the meaning of this stamp ?
