Here is a sword I’ve had for a while. My grandfather had it, and I’d play with it as a kid, running through the woods and what not. If only he or my dad knew, they’d have a fit, lol!

I haven’t really seen any definitive suggestions as to what exact period it’s from, though I was told when I was younger, that it was a WWI Bavarian police sword. It has a ACS Scales stamp mark on the blade close to the hilt.

If This is not WWI, Please forgive me, because swords are not my specialty.

Hello everybody.
I got this nice Infanterie Sturmabzeichen today. It is marked with FLL for Friedrich Linden Lüdenscheid.
This Example still has a lot of Finish left. It is a great looking Badge in my Opinion and i could not see any Red Flags.

Would be great to tell me what you think about this Example.

As always thank for your Time and Help.

Hi Guys,
Just picked up this non maker marked aluminium Luftwaffe OR’s buckle, it weighs 23 gramms, 65mm in length & 38mm in width. Having done some research here, would I be correct in assuming it is by the maker Dransfield ? There are a couple of details that stand out:
1 when viewed from the reverse, the catch has a rough finish on it’s lower, inner, side
2 when viewed from the front the tip of the right wing appears to have been filed
Wondered the experts point of view on these observations, all in though, there seems to be plenty of dust & dirt that’s been picked up over the years !
Regards
Paul

I recently came upon this badge and there is not much info on it online.Has the flowers of both Manchukuo and Japan.
Seems to have been issued at the same time as the Imperial Visit spear_shaped medal.
Could it have been issued by the city of Tokyo to the residents as a commemoration
of Emperor Pu-Yis visit in 1935?
Thoughts welcome.
