It's just you, the old wood and blued steel may be "appealing" to some people, but tell me the contour of a Mosin stock is better than that of a Mcmillan M40a5 stock? I personlly find the old world craftsmenship of Mausers and high end Finnish Mosins appealing, but still lets not confuse...

Too much even for a matching luger, what's the code and date? I dont want to call "reblue" yet but look at the trigger and safety, most of them should be in "straw" color instead of uniform blued and the almost refinished look on the safety where bluings should be worn off by just a few on/off...

Let me know if you want to sell the PPK, i desperately need a WWII era one to go with my .22lr pre war PPK, PLEASE :D

Negative Hoosier, if the military wanted to cut down a heirloom sword it would've been done professionally and nakago reshaped or a new hole drilled in the tang, not completely cut with a hacksaw. The sword is also not a "heirloom" sword by definition as it was forged after 1930s sometime in the...

Thank you Dr Rob, for how late war it is the finish is suprisingly smooth and worksmenship still excellent, I send a pic of it to my parents and my mother immediately called it "ugly" and "looks like a one legged cripple":rolleyes: Most family swords that on mounted on Gunto pattern...

It is a Japanese front ammo pouch, early war before they figuered out that leather does not last well in humid jungle enviroments like Guandalcanal. Ive been collecting Japanese swords for awhile now and as rare as they are you can still find them locally with the right connection and if you ask...

some more WWII posed pics, with a Yasukuni Shrine forged Gendaito sword, would've been one of my most prized possesion if some GI hasn't sawed part of the tang off :mad: Then again, he probably went through WWII and who am I to judge him?

I have a weird fascination with Japanese WWII militaria despite my ethnicity (Chinese(, anyway here are some typical equipments you would find on a junior grade IJA Officer at least in the start of WWII

highly doubtful, source of the news?

One handed shooting does have its merit in certain situations and should be practiced for those scenerios , such as if you've been shot on one arm or is in extrme close range and had to hold an attacker off with one arm, but other than that it has outlived its general usefulness as a defensive...

and EB1, I don't appreciate you sending me a pm, you came here asking for opinion if you should ruin your father's lithgrow and got our opinions, stop being butthurt about it.

I wont be as nice as others, and I am used to saying things that may not be considered "THR" but hey, so be it. It's a lithgrow .303 with a prestine crown and barrel right? And how often do you come across one of those? By saying "it will never have blond wood" you showed your ignorance in...

bad karma? What is that? Some kind of psudo intellectual philosophy thing? I'm going to go out on a whim and say you probably celebrated too when Osama Bin Ladin got killed, is it bad "karma" to talk about the "dead" that way? Course I'm not saying the deceased late senator is OBL, but the point...

<deleted> To OP, I do wish you the best in hard times such as these, passing of a loved one is a part of life and I feel your pain. Cherish those guns and memories you've shared with your old man.

Funny quick story, last year my company went to Quantico for training and they arranged it for us to visit the Marine Corp history museum on the last week. Before we all got in some Ssgt came from inside and told us knifes arnt allowed and they'll collect any knifes we're carrying right now and...
