Militaria Collectors

VERY RARE

Possibly a ship bell, although there is no ship name on it. There iare no maker's marks or other identifying marks, except as pictured. Bird stamp is about 1.75 inches (diameter). Date stamp is aproximately 2.375 inches by .875 inches

Not shown in the pictures is the .375 inch hole at the top for connecting to whatever it was connected to.

I put some baby powder on the bell to try and make the bird, etc. stand out some.

The bell has a nice tone and is very loud.

Any help identifying this bell would be greeatyly appreciated.

Thank you

any info would be greatly appreciated.

Real nice hand made deer antler knife.  About 18hrs of work on this piece.  Fits perfectly in your hand.  The actual knife looks very similar to this one (I had to find a picture off the web).  The two major differences between them are that the bit between the blade and the handle is more simple and brass and the blade itself is not as narrow or long.

A Lion or more Lioness looking handled sword it is made by Luckhaus & Gunther and has a serial number of 377. I found it in my Grandmothers attic after she passed and have no clue who's it was or what war. I had relatives that fought on the American side of each war. Any help would be greatly appreiciated.

I did alot of research on this, before submitting it. 

This is an original 1869 KKK Grand Dragon Realm of Louisiana buckle. I did research on it because i know there is alot of replicas around. Most replicas are made out of pewter, this buckle is not made out of that. This buckle is heavy, also it has what looks like specs of silver in it. The description is - On the front it has a skull, with KKK on the skulls forehead, Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon written on the top, on the bottom Realm of Louisiana written on the bottom. Under the skull is like a ribbon of some sort, it reminds me of the confederates. There are specs of silver around the front. There are 2 holes on the top and 2 on the bottom, 3 on the left side, and 3 more holes on the right side. Which makes me believe this is a buckle.   On the Back of it - written on the back it says KKK Grand Dragon 1869.

I did research on this and also replicas of it. The replicas are light and made out of pewter. This buckle i own,, is heavy. And i am not exactly sure what it is made out of, but the specs of silver, look to be real silver.   The words are faded, and you need to hit the right lighting to see the words. It is in good condition.

The replicas go for around $20.00 , this is not a replica.

These look like WW2 flight goggles. They have olive green tinted lenses, olive colored material on the sides, and brown leather for the strap in the middle. They have a case which is brown leather and it has two spare lenses that are stored inside the case. There is also a black screw on the outside of either lense.

this bottle is embossed on one side with the word "friendship" it has calabash style hands in a sort of shield with laurel leaf under it... on the other side it's embossed with an oval sunbust type of design. I know it was holding some kind of alcohol because it has the forbidden statement on the bottom that was in use from 1932-1964. the stopper is a ball (hollow) with cork.It does have a molding seam up the sides, and a 1/4'' deep circular depression on thebottom.

I in an oval for the owen-illinois co. a 2, a,0, D-126, L-9529, a 58, and a 81 all on the bottom along with the govt warning fobidding reuse... the black5 on the bottom is just from a marker

I can't find info online regarding this, so it would be great if someone could enlighten me! 

Two civil war guns

I don't think this is a valuable item because the chain is only gold plate(?) but I really would like to find out what the "s" in heart mark means, maybe who made it, and what period/age it is. Pictures are attached...

Thanks in advance!
