What’s gotta be the craziest item I got is an Iraqi M80 helmet that came off eBay. The helmet has dried bio matter which I asked the seller about. He stated that he was gifted it from his friend (Both OIF veteran) who killed original owner. The OIF veteran who killed the Iraqi apparently felt extremely guilty and didn’t want the helmet anymore.

well its growing slow but sure. the 1939 luger marked 42 on the chamber the 42 means its a Mauser manufactured pistol not walther. personally the spreewerk cyq p-38s i like the best of all of them because they have sharper edges and just look better to me because of late war preoduction. i like the one you have!! the ww2 german helmet you have is a m-40 because the side vent is part of the shell. a m-35 helmet the vent hole is a separate piece that is pressed in. the Q means its a quist manufacture and size 64 shell. bcd mauser is the gustloff company
@JonBoyMilitaria5 күн бұрын
Thanks for the info. I appreciate it
@thurin845 күн бұрын
great bunch of stuff! the ww2 german helmet is an m40 because the vent holes are stamped in instead of being a separate bushing. the Q stands for the manufacturer Quist and the 64 is indeed the sized in centimeters. it would equate to about 7-7-1/8 us size. it probably was stripped by someone going to use it for reenacting. while youre waiting for a better german helmet you could refinish that one. thanks for the shout out! glad you enjoy them. to create extra wall space some pitctures, posters or flags can be tacked to the ceiling if theyre sturdy enough. ive done this before.

Nice pick ups again. I once had wanted to get the 10 makers of M1 carbines... was up to six at one point, but ended up trading 4 of them away (I know went one toward my Japanese Type 2 and 2 of them went toward the Johnson). The great thing about the S&W 1917 over the Colt is the milled shoulder in the cylinder making it easier to fire without needing a moon clip. You can actually pick up stuff to shoot out of the flare guns at many gun shows... i.e. smoke grenades and fireworks.
