A bit of a joke post, but this is 100% a knife from the swiss army, and a real beauty, so why not post it?
Resting on an m18/40 swiss army helmet in the first photo.
Third photo, see compared against other Mauser style bayonets top to bottom:
Swiss m1918
Swedish m1896 (late)
Yugoslavian m48 bayonet
1943 German k98 bayonet
I’m truly no expert on german helmets, but I figure these are meant to be an SS parade helmet and a Luftschutz helmet.
I know the one in the middle is a late Spanish Modelo Z (Not worth faking)
Just curious if these two are fakes or legit
A year ago on the day I finally went no contact. After months of trying to get closure from her, I finally learned to see myself and made my own closure.
The year since had not been perfect, but it’s been my year, and the best year of my life without a doubt. The healing and recovery process is non-linear, and never-ending (thank you to Codependents Anonymous, my one year chip is next week).
However, all of my amazing platonic and familial relationships have truly blossomed in this time. I am surrounded by consistent reliable love, and I know not to take it for granted. Still single, but that’s okay. I am waiting for the right person, not a body to fill a hole.
I used to drive 80 miles to her city roundabout 5 times weekly. I always made the drive for her, was always here at her whims, and was truly alone every time I was here.
Today I decided to drive here to celebrate myself and my strength. I decided to reclaim this city as a place on the map without power over me. I ate at the noodle shop I’ve been craving for a year and set out a blanket by the lake we used to frequent, just to lay down and feel the sun on my skin.
It’s been a slow, calm day. It’s been peaceful. I feel whole.
Happy one year to me. Hope serenity finds you all, wherever you are on your journeys. Let go of the past, our abusers, and embrace ourselves and our love!
