Krag Jorgensen bayonet

Luckily found this bayonet that was manufactured the same year my krag rifle was made (serial number rifle in the 400,000s). Paid 157.50 for it so I'm very very happy

German Parade sword

Having checked the stamps when I was checking this out lead me to believe this to be a legit piece. Got it for 173. Thoughts and comments?

Martini Henry Bayonet

Picked this up for 89 bucks. Not sure how common it is to see on one but, for a German scale stamp to.b on this do me sounds VERY interesting.

M42 luftwaffe helmet

Found this, having it on hold at the counter. Has the proper decal and the rear of the helmet on the inside has "CKL" code with a "650" underneath. There is a side stamp to the right of the CKL code but a name that was written across it covers the second number, I can read out the "6" but the other number is a bit difficult to read out without a loupe. Thoughts?

Megaman X series came in

So glad these came in today. I used to play the X series games back in the 90s and occasionally still do. These look so awesome!

Items acquired today

Prussian m1895 buckle and (what I think) is a mislabeled m1917 Kelly helmet, being that it has the "1B" stamp on it to have it indicative of that kind and not the British doughboy helmet. What do y'all think? Pleasure to be here and thank you all for any interaction!

Beat to hell katana

Bought this katana at an antique spot for 100 bucks, didn't quite care for the price whether it's a real antique or a more modern production. I've had my suspicions that maybe it's quite old as it resembles a little like my actual antique katana from the early muromachi period, minus the crazy curvature my antique has. Anyway, there's no signature to be read on it, tried with a loupe that has a light fixated on it to see if there's any remnant of writing. Whether someone who has a more greater expertise by looking at something and making a determination of its age and such would be greatly appreciated. The story behind this is this was recovered from a building that collapsed where this was housed. It shows quite a bend on the lower section of you looked at it from the front or rear of the blade. One of those moments when I gazed at it that I felt so bad for it that I wanted to keep it in the care of my hands.

Triple Crit

Long time player here, can't recall a time I ever had a triple critical hit, can remember plenty getting two. But 3 is pretty damn nuts. Can't imagine ever getting 4 or more. Anyone else have similar experiences?

2k11 pro comp

Purchased my very first Kimber. I was vehemently opposed to ever getting a Kimber for years, when Kimber finally changed its QC and its owner, having seen videos of these 2k11 changed my way of thinking about Kimber. Funny story: I was to get a Kimber target from a LGS I love to frequent in Arizona, they were to order it for me, after waiting weeks, turns out they forgot to click purchase after having it sit on the online cart, during that time, I had thought "what if they forgot to purchase it? Maybe then I'll switch for the pro comp." Turns out, that's what had happened, so I explained how if this happened I wanted this instead, they found it for cheaper than the target and got a couple hundred dollars back after I had already paid in full for the target. I still like how the target looks and might very well still get it in the future, I just loved how the pro comp looks and how it feels in my hands. I'm intensely happy with this firearm!

M1935 Helmet

Took a gamble on this one. No markings on the inside, noticed a number on the leather part that's quite faded. Weight is on the heavy side, exactly at 2 pounds 15.5 oz. Any other details would help. Thank you!

German items

Bought a variety of stuff from an antique store nearby, I bought the officers helmet already betting on it being a reproduction but, for 45 bucks I couldn't complain for a display piece. But this m1935 helmet as it was stated that it was, supposedly had what's left of the SS decal, I don't really think so but, I bought this nonetheless because I don't have any authentic WW2 helmets. Belt buckles too I couldn't pass up, 15 dollars each. Wehemact one feels legit, the SS belt, not so sure, even though it has markings on it. Comment what you feel or think!

Japanese tansu chest keyaki wood (supposedly). Found in Scottsdale, Arizona. United states.

Been fighting myself in my head trying to convince myself this is real but, seeing the screws on the chain and not seeing any manner of signature or date anywhere on the chest leads me to think this is a reproduction. And not a meiji period antique. Thoughts?

Smith and Wesson hand ejector .38 special revolver

Saw a pistol of that title at a LGS going for 450 (I believe), looked nickel plated and for some reason had a bulge on the barrel, somewhere under the front sight. I kinda wanted it but the plating and the odd bulge sort of kept me away. If anyone kind of has an idea what that bulge could have been and is the price even worth it?

WW2 Type 95 Tokyo Arsenal

Picked it up for 350. The markings looked stamped and not etched. The screw is stripped so, I imagine someone really tried to get it off to see the tang lol. I won't bother it anymore unless I give it to a more professional hand to get the screw out, maybe replace it. What do y'all think?

Mauser broom handle

Got this for 969 and it's in 9mm all numbers seem to match. And I had taken a break from buying milsurp and this thing comes through the store I love to frequent in Arizona.

Moroccan chest.

Got this at a white dove thrift store for 75 bucks. Girlfriend always wanted to have some Moroccan items in the apartment while I'm putting my own east Asian flare into it. Any further details on age, value, etc would fantastic to get to know this culture better would be fantastic. Thank you in advance!

Here's another one.

Been playing FFT since the early 2000s and this game NEVER bores me. One of my all time favorite games ever. All the ups and downs of learning this game, the soft resets after approaching wiegraf before the end of chapter 3.. all of it was frustrating but fun to learn all the strategies. I eventually took my brothers methods that helped me get through the game WAY better. Wanted to help add this to the list.
