Don't let Mayor Bowser find out about your stash or she'll try to take them away.:rolleyes2: -- AlI recently acquired a Luger, a Philippine swivel gun, and a circa 1812 American artillery officer’s saber. I will try to post pictures soon!

Louis, that is really a unique acquisition. Congratulations on getting it. Original colors are uncommon. -- Al
Very cool antler projectile!^&cool^&cool I just picked up a WWI Japanese Sergeant's tunic and a WWI French Captain's tunic. Photos to follow shortly.
That's a fantastic collection, Louis. A find like that is a collector's dream, all ID'ed and belonging to one man. Congratulations. Just a brilliant acquisition. -- AlI also recently made an amazing purchase: the trunk of a French Artillery Captain who graduated their military academy in 1902 and served through the end of WWI. The chest contains 5 uniforms (3 dress, 2 field), the dress and field belts and leather pouches etc. which go with the uniforms, two sets of silver spurs, epaulettes, his medals, 53 French Military Maps from WWI, and dozens of photographs from his graduation from the academy through the victory parade at the end of WWI. Here are some photos (I haven't unpacked the trunk yet, but this is what I found when I opened it last night):
