March 4, 20242 yr Author #27 Some new insignia. When you have nothing anything fits into the fold. Sorry about the US insignia.

June 10, 20242 yr Author #33 This weekend was tough for military. Between Thursday Friday and Saturday I must have attended over 100 yard in just one neighborhood with nothing to show military. Finally on Saturday at the last sale I go to I found this made of plaster. The ladies father had owned a pawn shop for 40 years and kept military. He died 15 years ago and her mom is getting ready to sell it all.
June 17, 20242 yr Author #34 Didn’t go yard sailing but did go to the flea market. Matching K98 dated 1944 and has been arsenal reworked. The scabbard has been dented down the middle but for $100 I figured if I ever have to sell I should be able to get my money back. I’m not familiar with these at all. The British commando knife was $10 with a broken tip and no markings whatsoever. The grip looks like painted zink which I’m not sure about so I’m wondering if this isn’t a reproduction Lastly is a British Salvation Army medal for service in its original box $40. Loved the look and the price so I took it. The K98
June 18, 20242 yr Author #37 The commando knife does not have any marks at all. Does anyone know what it is? Is it a repro?
June 18, 20242 yr #38 Looks like a legit 3rd pattern F/S knife. Usually there was a number cast into the side of the pommel area, a 1, 2, 3 or 4.

July 13, 20242 yr #43 Nice crosses, congrats! The WW2 EK2 appears to have a number on its ring, correct?

Here are more pictures. The core is non magnetic and looks to be brass. I retested the core and it’s the proper early iron core with a copper plating.
July 14, 20242 yr #46 Deumer made some very nice, and crisply struck, Iron Crosses. Nice catch, even though the WWI cross has a broken core.
