just to add a few pictures of one of my other money pit's lol. trust me, the military stuff is easer to keep, and a better investment. but i just like the saltwater fish. i think i have to many collecting hobbies. i built a nice office/computer room, and decided it was a good place for a fish tank.

Hey where's the sea horse, now they take some looking after

lol no sea horses. but i did pick up this nice little shoulder stock for my broom handle Mauser M-30. it needed a little work. it had already been refinished when i got it. but my Mauser is no bell of the ball either. so they look ok together. they fit well together, and thats the important thing. it is on original german made stock. not chinese. if any one has some leather for it, well used. please let me know.

You got a wife?

Very nice SMALL collection Andrew!

I really like the drawer unit that you have. I really could use one of those.
Ralph.

thanks Tom. Ralph the drawer unit is semi home made. the two pieces use to be one 4 foot square unit with drawers, that held blue prints. i cut it in half, re faced the drawer fronts and added knobs. it's ok for light items.
LOL Sebastian, i have the same sweet wife for 35 years now. when we were first married i collected reptiles. i had a 9 foot burmese python as a pet. trust me when i say, she prefers that i started collecting weapons instead.

hi gent's again,
i got a call today to look at some swords. i had a nice suprise when i got there. not only were there 2 ww1 Patton swords, a yet unknown,1873 dated saw back bayo, in pretty much relic condition, a luftschutz helmet in great condition, along with an original m-42 helmet shell, that some buggerd up by repainting it, and adding a later liner. but he threw it in free. and what i think was a real prize, is an 1851 model Civil War belt buckle in what i would call minty condition. hope you like the new additions. i'll keep the buckle, but the rest will likely move on.
Andrew

Geez, that ain't no SMALL collection. Very well displayed. I am not a snake fan, same as your wife. They might squeeze you too tight when you are sleeping...the snake, not your wife.
