Hey guys, I recently got this really good condition M1866 Chassepot bayonet. I would really like some extra info on it if possible.

It has no inscriptions on the spine but that didn't deter me, due to the price and condition it was at.

Thank you in advance.

Hello! Here with a chance to buy these two bayonets. I'm pretty sure they are french M1866 chasseport bayonets. One of them has Tulle and 1861 written on the spine.

I would really appreciate any further info regarding these bayonets. And maybe which one is worth buying, condition wise.

Hello! I bought these 2 projectiles for 8 euros. I'm pretty sure they are 75mm french shells, for the M1897 field gun. My question is there a safe way to open them? I need to check wether they are inert or not.

Hello everyone! It's been a hot minute since I've been in this subReddit. I'm happy to say that as of June 26, marks my first year since I picked up my first piece of militaria.

I would like to thank everyone here who has helped me turn from someone who couldn't tell a crappy wound badge replica, to acquiring a my very own Gewehr 98.

Here are the photos from my collection as of today. Thank you all!

Hello guys. I've come across a pretty good opportunity to buy these sabres. Each costs 86 euros but for the moment I can only afford one and idk which one to get. It's my first time buying a sword and as a history collector I want to make sure they are replicas or tourist stuff as they dont really interest me. So I was wondering which one to get.

Any help with identifying these sabres would be great, and thank you in advance.

I have a chance to get this bayonet with it's scabbard for 50, what bayonet is it? I think it's a Austrian.

Hello guys, I made a recent post before about IDing some bayonets. While those are on my list they are a bit expensive for me right now.

I found this Gras rifle bayonet, I'm not sure what year or what country it's from yet, I gotta see it in person. It's in aight condition and the spine seems to be intact, overall I'm pretty happy.

Hello guys, I'm trying to hey my first bayonet and I'm constant with a seller. Is it possible for you guys to help me out with identifying some of these bayonets. I know they are a lot but it would be a huge help.

Thank you in advance.

Hello! I know basically nothing about bugs, but generally care for animals. Today a dead tree fell next to my house and at the base I found a little hole of these little guys, with 3 of them in the air.

I managed to get the 3 larvae into my garden and they started burying themselves, so I covered them with some sticks from the tree and some soil.

From what I can tell these are some type of beetle grub, but would like some second opinions, and could they eat my alive trees.

Edit: I live slightly north of Madrid, Spain.

(Not very charismatic photo of larvae as it pooping lmao)
