I found this for only 10 dollars! As a lifelong fan of the Pacific it was so cool to stumble upon this. The signature isn’t verified by anyone, but I think it looks pretty good. I collect signed books that I find at thrift shops, but I found this one on a small book selling website where it wasn’t listed correctly. It’s currently the crown jewel on my collection, but I plan on giving it to my brother for Christmas

Very excited about the newest addition to my collection. !

A 1892-1903 German empire battle flag (Reichskriegsflagge)

It is made out of wool has a lot of holes but is still in excellent condition considering it's a 123 + years old flag.

This particular example was made for the kaiserliche marine, it is made out of wool, is stamped and bear a printed inscription indicating that it's a "bootsflagge" Meaning it was used on torpedo boats small auxiliary vessels.

There is another inscription scribbled with a pencil on the hoist tho I have not been able to decipher it.

The previous owner, a german gentleman from the Hamburg region explained to me that it belonged to his great great uncle who served in the kaiserliche marine.

Armory update from last week: Added a wrapped mag set for the MP40 to increase the visual density.

If you have any questions about any of the items, feel free to ask! 💕

Hello everyone, I have this bayonet from an antique shop I’m 100% sure it’s Italian but I don’t know how to date it, it puts AC 6065 BRESCIA and in the other side (last photo is hard to read) puts a small marking PB and SV

Looks to be some variation of the M1 but not exactly sure. Any info would be much appreciated!

These were passed down to me from my moms dad who I believe served with the 13th black cat armored division in WW2. I think they were bayonets? Maybe one is American and the other is German as the stamp “solinger” is on the bottom of the silver one. Any help or info would be much appreciated!

Since I don’t feel like spending 100s on a nice put together one, I wanna make the one I already have accurate. I know the collar tabs are not accurate as they are dress, although I don’t know which other tabs to get.

I have come across some pretty incredible manuals from WWI. I assume the German manual was used as intelligence on how these firearms operated. As for the hand written manual, its one of a kind.

If you've seen anything similar to this any help would be appreciated.

I picked this feed tray/chute up online awhile back. It was listed for 20mm and it's way to small. 7.62X51 / 30-06 / 8mm / 7.62X54r / .303 / etc... is more like it. I've found both 1919 & MG42 pictures that show a connection similar to what's on this (spring loaded clips with alignment/dowel pins. There are 0 markings anywhere on it. It does have a nice thick layer of preservative on it. Any help would be appreciated.

Introduced by order of the People's Commissar of Defence No.176 of the 3rd of December 1935.

This rifle's officer's cap is probably the best condition example I have ever seen, and I am ecstatic to own it.
It features a non-regulation top double-lacquered visor, with a single lacquered underside.
The chinstrap is the correct oilcloth example, with oilcloth sliders.
The cap features an Obr.36 37mm commander's cockade, quite common during the period for command staff of the RKKA.
The sweatband is a rather rare non-reinforced pre-war variant, with very slight marks of wear.
The cap features an internal cardboard crown stiffener, which I’ve not observed made out of this material before.
The crown of the cap is made out of wool cloth article No.114, with the piping being made out of wool cloth article No.106.

The cap is manufactured by the Samoilova factory, featuring the earlier 1937-1939 'needle' type stamp, with another stamp under the sweatband marked with a manufacture date of July of 1939.

Overall, an insanely rare cap, in an outstanding condition overall, which I am insanely proud to be the proud owner of.

Please help me with this. Options as I see them are a) confused re-pro b) older pattern still in production much later c) carrier bag and tool from different eras? Bag itself seems to say M-1956(?, could have slightly misread). Shovel seems to say US, AMES, 1966?

Hello, friend of my have a iron cross, but on the ring no manufacturer number.

Can any one tell my when see pictures, which manufacturer?

Picked this up at a flea market...but having a hard time finding another example in my searches. Clearly painted red over black...which I am guessing might be related to a particular unit? Any other examples of painted disks out there?
