  2. http://brendonshelmets.weebly.com/iraq-m80.html https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/30373-iraqi-helmet-from-desert-storm-1991
  3. Hello, thats an IRAQI M80 helmet made by South Korea for IRAQ , the red triangle shows it was used by the Elite REPUBLICAN GUARD, these helmets date from the IRAN / IRAQ WAR in the 1980's through The ...
  4. I like the French Mle 26 helmet, I have another in a large size 61 that fits me perfectly! it feels like a hat since it's kind of light weight, one of the most comfortable steel helmets of WW2 but ...
  5. They dont make them like anymore, these days it's all cast & MIM , I like the quality of the older guns fro the 1960's
  6. the Gatling gun is like the first "Mini Gun"
  7. I remember when I was a kid I really wanted a robot from Lost in Space, I had a battery operated robot that could walk and fire machine guns with flashing lights.
  8. the ones with the HHD Triangle stamp are hard to find, none of mine have that marking / mold mark, nice find.
  9. very cool find, I never saw one of those before, it's in great condition for it's age.
  10. Thanks fortapache, Im glad I found this one , I didnt have one of these yet so it was a nice find.
  11. excellent home defense shotgun , nice gift
  12. looks like some type of Fraternal Organization helmet? From the 1870s to 1920s, clubs with exotic costumes, titles and rituals were all the rage http://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/18e6977c51a794592...
  13. SWISS M71 One of the best quality steel combat helmets even produced these M-1971 Swiss steel army helmets come with a quality four-piece leather head liner and double hung leather chin strap assem...
  14. I like the original rough texture charcoal grey finish
  15. I really like that "Mickey Mouse Pattern" camo, my guess is it was taken home by the vet after his service and retained the original WW2 applied camo since he most likely brought it home after the war...
  16. judging by the liner rivets and the round holes on the front, this helmet was probably used by Spain during the Spanish Civil War era 1936. The rivets are the type used for a leather band that went...
  17. Thats a Classic Harley , reminds me of the movie with Marlon Brando "The WILD ONE"
  18. They look like repros from the 1980's , I remember Civil War buffs / reenacters at the gun shows use to sell this stuff, brass ages easily, I remember buying the cross swords just like yours at a gun ...
  19. JC, I think so, because it says made in Japan on the back, most tin toys like this are from the 1960's -70's , these have been out of production for a long time, most modern toys are made of plastic t...
  20. Thanks James, Im glad you liked it, the same type of helmet can be seen in the WW1 movie classic from 1930 "ALL QUIET on THE WESTERN FRONT" I also need to find a German M16 steel helmet to go with my ...
  21. I also have the exact same medallion in my collection, it has nice details.
  22. Billy, you should change the title from "LIVE Grenade" to "INERT" so people will know it's a trainer / dummy rd
  23. it makes an interesting paperweight or conversation piece for your desk or on the bookshelf.
  24. Vietnam era BLU-26/B cluster bomb The blue color indicates the fact that it is not a live munition. This item was used for training safely with these pieces and is painted "inert dummy round bl...
  25. Great find, this sounds like one of those situations of being in the right place at the right time, you never know what you might find on random stops at Antique Mall.
  26. a WW1 soldier probably carried one of these everywhere he marched, though the rain, the mud, the heat, the cold, and used it to season his stew or whatever they could get, they ate a lot of canned cor...
  27. Soldiers would carry their meat rations in a M1916 bacon can, along with the condiment can , and also the M1910 meat can / mess kit with eating utensils consisting of a tin plated knife, fork, spoon. ...
  28. looks nice with the bayonet , heat shield, and special buttstock with extra ammo , I remember reading about the Mil Spec version having a slightly thicker barrel, and the safety was made of metal ins...
  29. the Mossberge 590 is an excellent combat / home defense shotgun, I use to own one myself years ago, I remember mine had a black plastic spacer so the heat shield doesnt slide forward from recoil, I li...
  30. Field stripping & reassemble of my M1911A1 is very enjoyable, since it's so easy , I love cleaning and lubing the pistol and like the sound of racking the slide after it's cleaned and lubed then wipi...
  31. looks like a good copy of the British Commando dagger, especially since it has aging / weathering
  32. Im a big fan of the Model 1911A1 pistols, this one has over 6,000 rds fired through it and the slide still fits tight like it was new, plus the parts are very easy to get if you ever needed to do repa...
  33. I would have bought it too, if the price was reasonable, it still looks good for displays, it's still better than a current repro, since it's an actual German helmet made for the Police / Border Guard...
  34. it's a post war WEST GERMAN Police M52 helmet that somebody added Nazi decals to make it look like a WW2 German helmet. These type of helmets were also issued to the BGS/Bundes Grenz Schutz - borde...
  35. interesting collection, what the set up with the binoculars? is it some type of special night vision device?
  36. it's from the Vietnam War era judging by the three small buckles that are for a nape / neck strap, probably made sometime around 1965 - 1969
  37. Yes, it's a Poct - 2 and with a faded 1980's date
  38. thats a very nice example with the matching para liner, the camo cover reminds me of this Saudi soldier. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c7/Saudi_Soldier_with_G3.JPEG
  39. I agree, this place is good for back up, to save old photos and use for reference just in case the other forums ever go down.
  40. I agree, it's a made in Taiwan commercial army style camp shovel, I see these at the flea market all the time, they also feel lighter than a real US military issue folding shovel, not as well made as ...
  41. here's a Czech M53 that was used in Vietnam http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/133670-czech-m53-used-by-the-north-vietnamese
  42. the Czech Vz53 helmet marking with crossed swords and number 52 is the Czech military acceptance mark and year of manufacture 1952. nice helmet, many of these Czech steel helmets were used in the V...
  43. the German 1898 n/A (neu Art) bayonet is an interesting and unusual bayonet, and well marked.
  44. thats a nice looking German M34 helmet, the chin strap you added is a good match, looks original and complete, some had the Nazi decals, these were also used by Air Defense. http://www.warrelics.e...
  45. excellent display, I also like to collect all types of military fighting knives and bayonets.
  46. thats a very nice piece, I like the matching Arabic / Persian numerals. The Iranian history does make it more interesting, since you see these as often.
  47. Yes, it is the Austrian M75 helmet liner Your Austrian Bundesheer helmet liner was manufactured in 1976 by the firm Ulbricht`s Witwe in Schwanenstadt , Upper Austria. this pattern was made for...
  48. Glad you liked it SEAN, Ive been searching for one of these with the extra liner retention spring clips for a while to complete my collection, plus both pieces are matching by maker and year of manufa...
  49. thats an East German M56, I also have one just like yours! what part of SEA did you find this helmet? The North Vietnamese or PAVN also used this model during the Vietnam War. http://www.collectors...
  50. I would be proud to have one of these in my collection, very nice example.
