We have grouped these into several categories:
Pre-1900 (Colonial era through Pre-WW1) 15920 BRITISH 17TH LANCERS BUSBY - These distinctive pieces of headgear worn by many Hussar or Lancer or Light Dragoon regiments were either a Shako or a Busby. The Busby, which originated in Hungary, is a tall cylindrical hat which originally had a bag included as part of the top, and eventually was relegated to mere decorative use, being jauntily worn to one side, with the distinctive color indicating the regiment. The body of the Busby has varied but is often some sort of fur, real or artificial. The small insignia on this one, the skull and crossbones over the motto “Or Glory” is that of the British 17th Lancers, and the larger brass skull and bones is another variation of their insignia without the motto. The 17th Lancers served in the southern theater during the American Revolution (with earlier style uniforms) but their main fame is as part of the “Light Brigade” which charged into the valley of death at Balaclava in the Crimean War, with very heavy losses. They served in many other campaigns across the far flung British Empire in later years, including the Indian Mutiny, the Zulu and Boer Wars. I am not sure about the exact vintage of this, but think it is early to mid 20th Century. using faux lamb’s wool type black fur, and having the red Busby bag. It has seen some use and has some loss of the “wool” as shown in the photos. It may be an authentic uniform item with correct (or incorrect?) insignia, or it may be a theatrical prop, we just don’t know enough to say for sure. In any case, it is a flashy looking piece of headgear that would add some color to any collection of British arms of the period from the Crimean War through WW1. $95.00 (View Picture) 1900-1936 (Including WW1 and pre-WW2 items)
SMA2287 STOCK - P.14 Enfield - The British Army, charged with maintaining order in a world wide empire, adopted a bolt action rifle firing a rimmed cartridge in 1892, and invented by a Scottish emigrant to the U.S., James Lee. It’s first test in a major war came in South Africa against the Boers. After their experience of being wounded and killed by the 7 mm Mauser rifles used by the Boers, the British Army decided to adopt a new rifle in 7 mm using the Mauser bolt system. This rifle was called the Pattern 1913, and enough were made for trials by selected infantry units in 1914. The outbreak of World War I in August 1914 stopped the plan to adopt a new rifle, and the British Army fought World War I with their Lee Enfields. SMA2266 Magazine - for the Swedish Husqvarna 1907 Pistol - These are hard to find. Excellent condition. $45.00 (View Picture) SMA2232 Small Holster European Manufacture - Good quality workmanship, good condition with some slight cracking. Previous owner told us that this a WWII vintage holster manufactured for the DUO .25 pistol. Holster looks like it will fit just about any small frame .25 caliber semi auto. This would make a great accessory for just about any small WWII pistol. $35.00 (View Picture) 15920 BRITISH 17TH LANCERS BUSBY - These distinctive pieces of headgear worn by many Hussar or Lancer or Light Dragoon regiments were either a Shako or a Busby.

Pretty good condition with a few dents and dings. Looks like it will clean up nicely. $75.00 (View Picture)
SMA2085 Bolt Stop Set For The Japanese T-38 Rifle. - Complete with internal parts and screws. Condition - not bad with some rust and pitting. $10.00 (View Picture) 1936-1945 SMA2274 WWII German Holster For VIS.35 (Radom) Pistol. Probably Manufactured in 1944 or 1945. - Holster is in very good to excellent condition, the leather is supple with no obvious cracks or tears and the stitching is still white which indicates that holster has never been touched up or polished with shoe polish. The holster is clearly marked on the inside of the flap with the WW-II German ordnance code ``bnz`` which was assigned to Steyr-Daimler-Puch Steyr (AT) in 1944 and with the pistol designation ``P35p``. Genuine WWII vintage Radom holsters are getting hard to find. Overall this is a very nice holster, complete and in original condition. $150.00 (View Picture) SMA2266 Magazine - for the Swedish Husqvarna 1907 Pistol - These are hard to find. Excellent condition. $45.00 (View Picture) SMA2264 Holster for the Swedish Husqvarna 1907 Pistol. - Excellent condition, light brown pebbled leather is supple with no cracks or tears. The stitching is all intact and still white which shows that holster has never been touched up or polished with shoe polish. Vintage holsters for Husqvarna 1907 Pistols are seldom seen, this is just the thing needed to make a complete rig. $65.00 (View Picture)

Precision made device with three adjustable feet on the base and a bubble on the top for ensuring it is lever. One adjustment knob controls the azimuth with precise reading visible on a side window with a vernier type scale. Another knob controls the elevation, which looks like it will go almost to 90 degrees, again with a window for viewing the readings. Telescope is attached to the side with the reticule being three concentric circles with a cross hair. This has provisions for an instrument light for illuminating the readings (and reticule?). Unit is in a purpose made wooden carrying case, which as some slight damage to the hinged cover in the hinge area, and some warped/swollen parts apparently from dampness. Carrying case has two heavy web straps, very similar to Jap rifle slings. The optical device is in excellent condition, and the box in about good except as noted. A wonderful treasure for the fire control enthusiast, or perhaps a collector of surveying instruments since we admittedly are not sure exactly what the heck this is. However, we are sure the price iss $275.00 (View Picture) 16292 Bulgarian Model 1936C- Steel Helmet, WW2 period and possibly used later - (See Ermano Albertelli, ed., Combat Helmets of he World, page 34). This was described by the previous owner as being Romanian, but I believe it is actually Bulgarian. The Model 1936 has three variations, the first with rolled edged, and the later two with raw edges. The second type had five rivets holding the liner in place, while the third (Style 12.6 -Model 1936C) has four rivets holding liner and shell together. This has the six finger leather liner, although it is worn at the sides. No chinstrap. Paint is sort of a Russian green. The right side has remnants of a shield shape with some rd at the bottom. There are traces of a Red Star painted on the front of the helmet. This would be consistent with the postwar use of the helmet, noted as Style 12.7 in Albertelli’s book. Overall paint is chipped and scratched with some rust where the metal is exposed. Leather liner in fair condition, and one of the strips for a liner rivet has pulled loose. Uncommon helmet. $125.00 (View Picture) SMA2228 Barrel Japan T-38 Carbine(?) - This barrel appears to fit a Japanese Type 38 carbine. The caliber is 6.5mm, and the rear sight is the usual Japanese sight as is the front sight. The bluing would rate at 95% or better. The bore is bright and the riflings are sharp. We acquired it from the estate of local collector who loved to put together difficult to find guns from parts as hobby. We suspect it was to be one of his project guns, but he never got around to it. $125.00 (View Picture) SMA2232 Small Holster European Manufacture - Good quality workmanship, good condition with some slight cracking. Previous owner told us that this a WWII vintage holster manufactured for the DUO .25 pistol. Holster looks like it will fit just about any small frame .25 caliber semi auto. This would make a great accessory for just about any small WWII pistol. $35.00 (View Picture) 15898 BRITISH PATTERN 1937 AMMO POUCH AND TWO BREN MAGAZINES - What you see is what you get- one excellent P1927 web ammo pouch and two used fine-excellent BREN Gun magazines. Great for reenactors, or to display with one of the many dummy BREN guns floating around. Cannot ship to places run by idiots who have "high capacity magazine bans". Move to freedom while you can and then you can order. $32.00 (View Picture) 2465 Foreign rifle sling - Believe used by the French for MAS 45 version of the KKW .22 trainer. Brown leather 1 inch wide by about 40 inches long. Buckle sewn on one end and stud secured other end. Has "set" from being one something with swivels about 33 inches apart. Used excellent $10.00 (View Picture) SMA2121 Stock Swedish Mauser - - Probably for the Model 38 Swedish Mauser. Pretty good condition with a few dents and dings. Looks like it will clean up nicely. $75.00 (View Picture) SMA2081 Trigger Assembly Set For The Japanese T-38 Rifle. - Very good condition. $25.00 (View Picture) SMA1832 - Reproduction Shoulder Stock For Browning High Power Pistols. Good quality reproduction, this will fit High Power pistols that have the shoulder stock slot. Good condition except for a crack on the thick part of the hinged butt section, this could easily be fixed by someone who is good with woodworking. $200.00 (View Picture) 11896 - BRITISH PATTERN 1937(?) WEB SLING- USED - Made of khaki colored web in various shades and show some use, but not frayed or damaged, just the brass tabs and hooks may be tarnished and the web shows effects of washing and use. Overall VG-excellent condition. Have several, price per sling is $15.00 (View Picture) 11891 - BRITISH PATTERN 1937(?) WEB SLING- 1942 DATED - About mint unissued with nice clear markings- L.L. & T. LTD/ 1942 and Canadian broad arrow in a C. Just right for a really minty WW2 SMLE rifle. $20.00 (View

F-M3c model with gray rubber face piece and six head straps. Mask is in excellent
condition with good markings (VERNON) showing manufacture under license from
the Czechoslovakian inventors, probably circa 1935-1940. Filter canister is
OD color and dirty and somewhat rusty with embossed marking CP 1935 M and some
ink stamped stuff (lot number?). Comes in a carrying container which seems to
be made out of a rough textured paper mache with a web strap to keep the cap
from being lost. My understanding is that these were intended for sale to French
civilians, and the quality s lower than the Czech originals, and the plastic
eyepiece lenses are invariably in poor condition, with one partially detached
in this example.. It is possible that some went to Finland for their Army, but
that is pure speculation, based on the fact that the Finns did use a number
of the Czech made masks, and both have the same flimsy type carrying $95.00

5985 WW2 JAPANESE CIGARETTES - Previous owner stated they were "taken from a Japanese POW on Iwo Jima" but we have no way to verify that. Green printing on white cardboard pack with eagle design and lots of Japanese writing. Probably tasted horrible when fresh and even worse now. Neat WW2 Pacific campaign item. Looks like there were 10 to a pack originally, but only three left now. Pack is not holding together too well. $25.00 (View Picture) 4759 WW2 JAPANESE OFFICER TUNIC - About size 34 short made of high quality light weight wool fabric with some silk lining. Brass buttons on front and upper pockets (one large button replaced with slightly different type). Bone or ivory studs in the collar and cuffs for detachable pieces. Cuff studs have poked thorugh the outer fabric but not too unsightly. A few small moth nips but displays very well. Used a fair amount with some period repairs (mainly on torn spots in the lining). Unmarked except for two neatly embroidered characters insdie the left lapel. $150.00 (View Picture) 4757 WW2 JAPANESE ENLISTED RAINCOAT - About size 34 or 36 made of light to medium weight tightly woven cotton material with heavy cotton full length lining. No hood. Overall fine-excellent condition except needs to be cleaned. Sleeves are cut extremely full in the armpit area allowing extremem movements. Adjusting belt on back of matching material with three buttons. Marked inside left lapel. $65.00 (View Picture)) 4751 WW2 JAPANESE OFFICER WINTER LONG UNDERWEAR - White cotton flannel with draw tapes to secure the waist and ankles. No markings. Mint unissued, Size about 34 waist and 29 inseam but probably only inended to come to ankles. Military underwear and footgear of any type era are extremely scarce as they were considered suitable for civilian use and used until worn out and discarded. $39.00 (View Picture) 2465 Foreign rifle sling(???) - I thought this was type used by the French for MAS 45 version of the KKW .22 trainer, but someone who knows more than I says it is not. I do know it is made of brown leather 1 inch wide by about 40 inches long. Buckle sewn on one end and stud secured other end. Has "set" from being one something with swivels about 33 inches apart. Used excellent $10.00 1945- present (Cold War, Vietnam, other post-WW2 items) 11264 Guerilla modified BAR and LC-1 ammo Belts - One started as a regular U.S. BAR belt, made in 1951 and was in excellent condition. Then someone converted it for use with other type magazines, probably AK-47 or perhaps the 30 round M16 magazines. They removed the snap for the lift the dot fastener, attached a leather extension and relocated the snap. Nicely done workmanship using low grade reddish brown leather, but looks hand stitched. The other is a post 1981 LC-1 belt with three leather ammo pouches added. The pouches have M1956 type fasteners on the back for attaching to the belt. Two of the pouches are made for one large and one smaller magazine (maybe 30 round and 40 round AK 47 Mags?) The small pocket is too long for a 20 round M16 mag and the width is too snug for practical use. The larger pocket is also snug on a M16 mag and too long for the 30 round version. Not being an AK kind of guy, I cannot tell you if they fit better or not. Reddish brown leather with unmarked domes type snaps on the flaps. Good (but not great) workmanship, looks like machine stitched. Leather is poor quality, and has white crud/mildew that needs a good cleaning and treatment to stop. I am pretty sure this was done by/for some guerilla group somewhere. Possibly Vietnam era, and just placed on a more recent LC-1 belt, or perhaps something from counter-guerilla ops in the Philippines, Afghanistan or ????. I do know that both belts can be yours for only $65.00 (View Picture) Cold War Training Posters- Weapons, Uniforms, equipment 9293 MILITARY AIRCRAFT MARKINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW - 24" x 33" GTA 44-2-11 June 1984 $0.00 (View Picture) 7340 VIETNAMESE FORCES FLAK JACKET - Special reduced size versions
