I have one of those huge panoramic photos made back in 1917 of my grandfather's WW1 unit in an old wood frame made by my grandfather. I'd scan it but it wont fit my scanner.

I have more than a few things,but I don't want to brag (or advertise)
Here is something I do think is really cool though-
WW2 Japanese NCO sword with battle damage..Notice the blade damage lines up with the scabbard damage.The Japanese wasn't doing a Banzai charge,that's for sure
Also note the 30.06 round fits neatly in the hole in the handle..
I bought it from the druggie Grandson of a deceased Merchant Marine.Story goes,the Grandfather was involved with transporting wounded USMC back to the States,and supposedly he befriended one of the US Marines.They came to an agreement and the Merchant Marine received this sword in trade for extra pie and ice cream the whole trip back!!


Almost as cool,a 1983 dated MR T pin!!

For a period of time after the Civil War, the government printed this fractional currency instead of coins made of precious metal. Can't imagine a 10-cent or 50-cent paper note would have survived so long, but these have relatively little value.



WAYNO.

I have no idea what it represents, but it tells a story. I am assuming this is from the late 1800's

 

[mrblond]

not showing up? let me try and fix it

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Fixed! ( YAY! )
Looks like a pictograph picture ... the Western Indian tribes drew history pictures on ledger books and the like on the various reservations there were moved to.
Cool piece of history right there , you have!

this is Souix, I know that much atleast.

A British made calvary saber with scabbard and frog (?) that was employed by a family ancestor. Confederacy. Might be an about 1857 or so Enfield?

I will check. Cousin has it. Insured. The story about the sword is common. Great great great somebody in the family. That much we know. Also the usual rumors about blood stains and nicks on the edge. Can not confirm this.

A 1900, (1902?) American Eagle .30 Luger with 4 matching rosewood mags. Original holster. A very low serial number. All matching. Excellent condition.

I will check. Brother has it. Also insured. The story behind the Luger is that my Great grandfather bought the Luger from the US Army after field trials. I can not confirm that story.

Family possessions. Not for sale. Sorry.

The rifle is historic of course ... A 1943 dated 03A3 by Remington.
But the patches are as well.
The 11th Airborne is my Granddad's and the 101st Airborne is my Dad's.

I wore the 101st patch on my Class A's while in the 101st ... usually got "gigged" 'cause its a pre'68 style patch.
But it was my dad's ... I thought it was kinda neat wearing his patch and worth a "gig".

That red one would be fun to prop some antique rifles on for a photo shoot.
( Now if I only knew someone with some antique rifles... )
Need to do that someday...
