Nazi Kar98K (the main infantry rifle)

Here's some assembled pics

I'm looking to get into historical military uniforms, where do I start?

A papyrus fragment dating back to Roman Egypt circa 5th or 6th century AD

Roman bronze As coin of Constantine the Great

I also have various World War One memorabilia (tommy helmet, medals, ribbons, photos) from an ancestor, a ivory seal meat cutter, a medicine bag from the 1800's of another ancestor and various other knick knacks.

Closest pic I have but the Mosin is Izhevsk made in late 1942, probably slapped together and thrown at a conscript crossing the Volga, the shotgun is an M1897 Winchester Takedown Shotgun made in 1912, its the oldest gun I have.

Currently saving up to buy a super fucking rare Colt M1892 New Army chambered in .38

Shit forgot picture

ditch that stainless barrel, nice shotgun though user
That's sick

Its a homebrewed, turbopoorfag no-excusemode rifle user, it was the best I could do.

And as for the shotgun I love it, unfortunately Bubba took a saw to the barrel and cut like 5 inches off, still shoots fine and it slamfires.

>tfw you don't have anything

Your jeans go back hundreds of thousands of years, user.

Just this obsidian arrow point I found walking near an archaeology site, it was buried in mud. from a site that was visited by the spanish conquerors circa 1400-1500ad

This belongs in a museum

...

The eternal anglo strikes again.

the lance of longinus

are you that user that was asking whether or not you had a russian capture 98k based on the (serial number prefix) X on the reciever?

>arrowheads belong in a museum

Wanna know how I know you're a Euro? I have like 5 of those in my fucking house, just laying around.

So do you

here's a picture of three of them, as a matter of fact,

One is obsidian, one is limestone?, and the other is some random rock

Incredibly common in the states, I hear about people finding them after plowing their fields all the time (I live in Rural Virginia). But I think the obsidian one was bought.

Arrow guy here, I actually went to one because I love archaeology and asked the guy in charge of the area "hey I found an arrow point in this municipality, showed him a pic on my phone and he was like oh nice find well you should keep it we have the archive full of them the ones shown are just a select few."

I have some milsurp rifles but seeing as OP already posted such things I'll post some of my coins first

Repping Constantinople and Rome

One from the Gallic Empire

It was possible to make them in under 10 minutes, and there were probably billions of them crafted over the course of 20,000 BC - 1462 AD, so it's no surprise

M16A1 magazine from the Vietnam war

Just remember that everything around you has been on this planet since its inception.

I have a bronze art plaque, it was made in the 19th century in France, I forget who but it was a woman. The art is on I believe the journey of womanhood (so the stages that take up a woman's life). I actually got to bring it to the Antique Roadshow and they said they couldn't give a price on it because so few of her work survived so there haven't been enough auction sales to give a good estimate on its worth. There used to be a lot more but most of them were melted down in WW1 to make war supplies.

Hmm, I seem to recall doing that, yes

In my possession is something with an interesting story; a German helmet from WWII that got a completely new life after the war. You see, people re-used a lot of the military equipment that was left after the war and this helmet was among them. My grandfather welded a metal part that would hold a wooden handle, turning the helmet into the head of a shovel (in this case, for cow manure).
I don't have any photos but this pic I saved a while back looks pretty much the same.

Anyway, there's also a WWI Italian helmet with a big hole on it lying around somewhere but that one wasn't made into a shovel.

Dunno if it counts in with the other stuff posted but I have a bunch of money from Imperial Germany and the Weimar Republic from my grandma. That's about all I have in terms of cool historical shit.

I have crates full of ww2 and ww1 shit I dig out from the ground. Mostly ammo. But also other cool stuff. Should I post?

>cool

About as common an toilet paper

please do

When I was younger we went on vacation to Hawaii. I was digging in the sand on a beach near Pearl Harbor and a few feet down I found a mushroomed bullet. It was black and any fine detail had eroded. Over the years it got lost (damn shame, too). Of course there's no way to know if it was really from Pearl Harbor but I'd say there's a pretty good chance it was.

I own:
A Gewehr 98 Sniper Rifle, belonged to my Spanish great-grandfather

A bunch of books dating as far back as 1901

Gramophone records dating as far back as the 1920s

A dinosaur pelvic fragment encased in a block of limestone

these are of course a representative selection.

I got crates full, as mentioned earlier.

Badge of the master parachutist in the USSR, 1946 year + documents to the badge and some second world war soviet military awards from the husband of the awarded woman.

The title of the master parashutist in the USSR was established on August 19, 1934. By 1945, 297 people received the rank of the master. In total, several thousand people became masters of the USSR (by 1984 - more than 3500 people).

I have a collection of Molière's works from 1770, a 1807 Napoléon Code, a prayer book from 1888 with ivory cover, a bronze Indochinese Buddha, huge Chinese carved wooden doors, a little porcelain doll, a Japanese painted fan. It's all random stuff I've inherited.

I have documents signed by one of ottoman padisah. A seal turned into a ring. Some accessories too.

Originals? E-bay perhaps
Reproductions? Sites like Soldier of Fortune, AtTheFront, and Hessen Antique are good
