This is a WWI Austro-Hungarian Canteen that was reissued to the Czech Army in the 1920s...I found this in the garbage in Germany when I was about 10 years old...amazing that I still have it after all these years...

Mauser M. 1914 Pistol
This is my Mauser M.1914 pistol. A family member captured it during World War 2. The holster is dated 1917 which, I assume, is the same date the pistol was made because of the matching serial numbers.

WW1 EK 2, well you all know what they look like!.......
I have a WW1 'push dagger' made by Robbins. I should do a separate thread on it, supposedly a rare thing?

That Push-dagger is quite something, thanks for showing! I would have assumed it was from WWII...
cheers, Glenn

( I don't know how GGF acquired it as he was a stretcher bearer in the RAMC )

Oldest item/M16
Hi folks, Posted this M16 helmet in another place but it fits this thread. I bought this from my father's friend Dick who was a mail man. On the side, he sold militaria. He was really good at finding items. When he came over to the house I remember he would open the trunk and show me some treasures. This was one of them. It was purchased December 1976 along with a matching named gas mask for Grenadier Brunnlieb.

This is non military but very precious to me. It is a collection of periodical magazines from the first quarter of the nineteenth century and was compiled into one book by my Great Great Grandfather. Starts Feb 1st 1817.

And this is my oldest piece of militaria, I guess produced in 1917/18 ish and reissued during WW2.
