Hello gentlemen, I am trying to obtain more information about this serviceman — which nation he belongs to, which branch of the armed forces, and which decorations he is wearing. I believe it may be a Scandinavian country, as two of the decorations appear similar to the Order of St. Olav and the Order of the Dannebrog. Kind regards, Marcius  

Thank you so much for clearing that up for me! Weren't these private purchase bayonets used for shooting prizes as well (sometimes edged)? That bayonet is a stunner!

Sorry, disregard the flange gasket picture...lol They're asking a lot for it. They've obviously looked around... But I don't think they've considered. There's more reproduction than real ones... Naturally I would think this is a reproduction but what has me thrown off? Is that scattered looks correct.... I had heard that most of these had unit number markings on them but not all.... So I can't go by that.. and some of them weren't even marked...

Wow. It is fine. Rich A. in Pa.

These are seldom seen in the wild.   How much are they asking for it?   Personally, I'd be very wary of it.   Best   Mike

I'm hoping I can get some help with the legitimacy of this welsh trench sword. I know there are reproductions out there. Some look new and some are older so it's hard to tell the Deliverance... I tried to join a British forum that I found while searching for information on these s but I had problems making an account.. there is a few gentlemen there that had originals and wouldn't share the information except through PM's, on what to look for  a real one... From what I understand some but not all were regimental marked and have the motto on them.. these are the only pictures I have at the moment... All critiques welcome...thanks

Rich Mate If I'm out of line posting this here let me know- hey we've been of acquaintance for over 21 years!                               ch

All my head gear has  another new depot inside!

The whole tomb, Church of our Lady Cemetery Normandy. Note the Oval Porcelain Portrait of him on the base of the structure.

Here's one of those T-34s out on maneuvers 1958, the ground troops seem to be wearing the U.S. Made Tight Mesh nets, or are they Austrian Copies?

Good Eye Marshallj, I missed that.
