I’m not sure about this one. It doesn’t look like the fakes I’ve encountered so far.

Definitely looks to be old maybe predating ww2. Made from Damascus steel, wood hand carved grip and sheath. Any help would be great, thanks everyone

Just came across a a sword in old family belongings.
I know nothing about swords so not sure this is even the correct place to be asking questions.
The sword marking are “Eickhorn SOLINGEN” It has the number 1202 on the handle and the scabert. The Handel also has “C.E/39″ which is also on the scabert.
There is also another small stamp I can’t make out. Could possibly be No A253.
Any help with history or value would be great. Thanks

Not sure if I have posted this one before. It is a pretty minty complete T90 IJA combat helmet. Even though I had this for years…wasn’t cheap back then either…

Appears to be sized small "/|\". Stamped <S> (Kobe Steel)

There are also two other sets of stamps (Maybe "23" & "16") but can’t make them out.

There is also the ink stamp on the underside of helmet liner. Can anyone give me an idea of what it says?

Hope you enjoy! This goes well with my new IJN helmet with 2nd Pattern cover.

Regards,

Michael

I’ve had this little collapsible silk patriotic flag for years in the back of my cabinet. Nothing rare or valuable, but a nice display piece for my other Japanese militaria.

Should be a easy one but does anyone know what the Kanji is?

Saw this on FB and thought it worth posting. Old Scotty did his bit it seems.:D

Lt. James Montgomery "Jimmy" Doohan, 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.
(March 3, 1920 – July 20, 2005)
At the beginning of the Second World War, Doohan joined the Royal Canadian Artillery and was a member of the 14th (Midland) Field Battery, 2nd Canadian Infantry Division.
He was commissioned a lieutenant in the 14th Field Artillery Regiment of the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division. He was sent to England in 1940 for training.
He first saw combat landing at Juno Beach on D-Day. Shooting two snipers, Doohan led his men to higher ground through a field of anti-tank mines, where they took defensive positions for the night. Crossing between command posts at 11:30 that night, Doohan was hit by six rounds fired from a Bren Gun by a nervous Canadian sentry: four in his leg, one in the chest, and one through his right middle finger. The bullet to his chest was stopped by a silver cigarette case given to him by his brother. His right middle finger had to be amputated, something he would conceal during his career as an actor.
Doohan will forever be remembered as the Scottish chief engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott on the popular science fiction television and film series ‘Star Trek’.

I was disappointed to hear the attack in London yesterday constantly being referred to by the Metropolitan Police as "International Terrorism" rather than what it actually was, a religion based hate crime claimed by the terrorist Islamic State "Caliphate".

So you can imagine how outraged I was to see another egregious example by the "Islamic apologists" within the government and the Met earlier today of forcing British police officers to pray towards Mecca in front of Westminster Abbey.&#128562;
