Very attractive dress bayonet with brown leather frog indicative of Luftwaffe personnel. The Eickhorn marked bayonet is in great shape with no particular damage to speak of. The blade shows only 3 little spots along the edge on one side (See photos), otherwise clean and mirror bright. The handle fittings are all equally clean and the plug remains in the slot. This green plug is a scarcer variety. The brown frog is a winner with nice, healthy leather. Nice backmarking JOSEPH MOLL GOCH 1937...

Nice, hard to find badge. Aluminum manufacture observer badge by GWL or Gebruder Wegerhoff Ludenscheid. Besides normal age wear there is subtle hit the eagle's right wingtip and, a little below this, is a hit to the edge of the wreath (This is small and on the back side of the wreath only). These two points are not bad at all and quite excusable on a scarcer badge.

Wonderfully engraved and age darkened dedication on the pommel of this E Pack dress bayonet. Fur treuer Kameradschaft II Lehrgang basically translates to "In true friendship/comradeship 2nd training Group". "Lehr" indicates a school or training situation. Balde is marked E PACK & SOHNE and is a near perfect example (9.9 out of 10). The frog is also very nice and maker marked CARL HENKEL BELEFELD...

Very nicely rendered inkwell in the form of a Prussian pickelhaube. As a bonus there is a sword going through the helmet as well. Fittings are all complete with good detail. Even the chinstrap is real leather. Inside the well itself is a thimble (Which comes out easily enough if need be) which is useful in reducing the size of the well for smaller amounts of ink...

Very interesting Italian mountain troop cap from the 8th Alpini regiment. As is often the case with Italian insignia, the gold bullion eagle is just a beautiful example. There is one snag to bullion that could easily be glued or tucked in. The 8th Alpini Feltre Battalion enamel pin on the side is a great item and of some solid value on its own. Because this cap is so well made it has a high wool content which unfortunately makes it a favored target of moths...

Lovely French naval artillery shorts sword which saw service from about 1771 to 1790, a span which perfectly brackets the American Revolutionary War. This exact sword is featured in George C Neumann'a important Swords & Blades of the American Revolution. I have the Third Edition from 1991 and find it on page 189...

Very nice Prussian belt buckle with leather tab dated. Maker marked and dated 1917. Condition is overall very good as per attached images. Nice belt buckle.

Very nice Prussian belt buckle. Brass two piece construction. Good look with no damage.

19th century domino set. I sometimes see these called ivory but I believe actually whale bone. This type is certainly 19th century. Full set of 28 with original wooden box. Ships only to US address minus California.

This is a great looking example. Has a great "been there" look but not too beat up at all. The front plate has a few stress lines and a ding at about 2 o'clock (See last photo). A nice, dark, even patina throughout. Reverse shows the hook and the puppy paws. There is a maker mark visible that looks like W H SMITH. Very cool belt buckle.

Very interesting Imperial German cigarette case. In the upper left corner is a 1914 iron cross which has the same patina as the rest of the case. I think it looks great as is but a little cleaning would make this a lot splashier. The hinge and closing snap both work great. The inside has a gold colored finish...

Very cool, obsolete badge. COMUSFAC (Commander US Facility) SUBIC BAY, PROVOST MARSHAL. DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY - UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. This badge has an extremely low number: 24. While this badge is very cool and very real and very obsolete it is also rare enough that I can find no comparable examples with which to date it. From looking at enough of this type of thing I would think the pin assembly looks to be WWII or earlier but I could be wrong on this. Really a superb badge.
