This one came from a friend of Wifey's family whom was an ZA Angolan conflict veteran, and for the life of me I can't remember what it is - Police? It was one of his war trophy's. -

Nice that would date to the 80's going by the button colour. Brown buttons are from the 70's. -

That's impressive. Though the naked Mannequins look a bit strange 😆. -

Real, repro, or fake? Could this be of a cache? Correct me if I’m wrong, but the feldpost number seems to trace back to an SS Adolf Hitler propaganda unit. Thanks. Listing link -

The Sinai-Palestine campaign lasted January, 1915 to October, 1918. The date of December 9th 1917, was the day The local Ottoman government and military forces in the city of Jerusalem surrendered to the British. I *think* it's a 77mm shell. For something like German 7.7 cm Feldkanone 96 neuer Art (7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.) Field Gun The outer shell case was made by the Polte Armament Works in Magdeburg, Germany in December 1916. It's marked "1" and "Sp406". The shell primer is marked "Fried. Krupp AG" and "12". -

Related to a post I made in a different category. I'm trying to ID this shell case that was made into trench art. I can't tell if it's 7.7cm(77mm) or 7.5cm(75mm) case? I'm leaning 77mm. my understanding is the outer shell case was made by the Polte Armament Works in Magdeburg, Germany in December 1916. It's marked "1" and "Sp406". The shell primer is marked "Fried. Krupp AG 12". link to the OG thread here: -

Unique trench art shell in my collection. I wasn't sure what national category to post it in as it covers a few. A the shell is German made case either for a German 77mm or 75mm field gun (I'm not sure) A type in use by the Ottoman Trukish Forces. Presumably the spent casing was taken as a trophy by a British tooper who took part in the Sinai and Palestine Campaign. It is uniquely engraved with a drawing depicting the Christian legend of St. George slaying a dragon, along with text: "Souvenir of the British Occupation of Palestine, December 9th 1917". The shell is also engraved with floral and geometric patterns. Typical of trench art shell casings. -

You are welcome. Extraseitengewehr were often used as shooting prizes and sometimes had etched blades. I do need to correct what I said when I pointed out the grips. They are not plastic but carved wood in the style of the later plastic grips. Here is another example of Imperial time period extra sidearms in the form of a S98 bayonet. Notice the long wide blade that is etched on both sides. This one will not fit on a rifle either. It does have a false button in the pommel and a piece of red felt in the pommel slot. -

Saw this dagger for sale. Says it's 11 inches. Is it real? OR Fantasy. An ID would be great if possible.
