Good finds! I like the brass shell casing! - Nick K
Good Lord!-are there no standards in the US as to what a motorcycle crash helmet is? You may as well wear a cooking pot on your head as any military type helmet-ask her if she's keen on being a drooling vegetable for a few decades or accept an offer of a real crash helmet!
This came in the trash this past weekend while I was away in Colorado.
U.S. Garand or Springfield bayonet cut down in size? It also appears that the scabbard was painted a copper color over the standard green?

You've created one of the most amazing thread!Thanks Gizmo8z!!
Hello all! After a hard day of teaching history... these items were waiting for me at the facility sitting in a big milk crate!
Unfortunately, I do not yet know the story behind these items... What exactly do I have on my hands here? Is everything authentic?! Can someone help me put a value on these items?
THANKS!
This appears to be an M40 lid... no liner and chinstrap unfortunately. There is only one stamp on the rear skirt... I am not familiar with it.
I can't really make out the stamping.... S1890?
Gasmask and canister:
You can see the adler and swaz ink stamp...Nov. 44
DAK(?) Binoculars:
cag and blue triangle
Dienstglas 6x30 and serial number 127153
I'm thinking this might be a WW1 canteen?
Detail on the canteen buttons:
This was with it all... but I'm thinking it's a repro. I originally thought it was a K98 bayo... but it's clearly got a Russian maker mark.
Maker marks?
Maker marks on the scabbard and frog
Please let me know if any additional pictures are required. I'm thrilled about this!![]()
Got these magazines a while ago... there are about 25 of them from the late 1940s.
