      I came across what looks like an NSKK dagger while scrolling through Collectors Firearms website and I am curious about its authenticity as they don’t get those in very often. Can you guys help me determine if it is legitimate or not?

      Depends on manufacturers, I bought my Chinese ones online under 300, nothing fancy just 1968 dated military issue. My local gun shop usually sells then in the 400 range up to 600 range

      What is an sks worth? I was curious because sometimes I videos on YouTube of people walking around flea markets and sometimes there's an sks for sale. The highest one I remember was $5000. I also saw someone say In a video that there worth $500 and and read somewhere else that there worth around $300. Then I saw one at the flea market for $800. So I've become curious as to what their actual value is since there is such a big difference between the highest price and the lowest I've seen.

      Thank you for your responses. An elderly woman brought this to me at our local flea market. She didn't want very much money for it.

      A Italian Camo Jacket,  a style kinda a cross between an M44, or a British BD, lets say for now a British BD, It's an online find in some collection or a museum, don't know if it is an actual Luftwaffe one, as the Luftwaffe cap maybe just displayed there. Got Green Waffenfarbe on shoulder straps of the Gebirgsjäger/Jäger shade, so if LW,  maybe worn by an Infantryman of one of those Feld Divisionen in Italy as they used the same approximate Green Waffenfarbe

      In 1915, someone paid $.50 US for this sterling silver brooch pin after seeing this in a publication ofThe Fatherland.   The Fatherland was a pro-German, weekly periodical, published in the United States from August 1914 to 1917, and established shortly after World War I began. Its aim was to promote American neutrality, advocate for "fair play” for Germany and Austria-Hungary, and combat anti-German sentiment in the U.S.   I bought this brooch at a flea market in 1994 for $1.00. I did a conversion this evening which equated $.50 US in 1915 to $16.18 US in 2026.

      No markings anywhere.  The pistol is totally devoid of any marking other than the year 1939, the "S/42", and the two parts that just have "42" stamped.  I had wondered would there have been a use for 'clandestine' pistols with no traceable serial number.  But why have a maker mark?   I also suppose it could have been battle damaged where the serial number was and maybe replaced with factory coded replacement parts.  But again, there are no WaffenAmt marks anywhere.  It is a very strange pistol.   Or is it the obvious that it is low serial number '42' which is sheer coincidence that would be the same Mauser '42' code?   Or the assembler at the factory was 'asleep at the wheel' and did not mark it...   Or is this a Germn equivalent of a 'lunchbox' pistol illegally taken home as parts from the factory and smuggled out...   I am stumped on this one...
