I checked both my relatively new ASUS and my older Dell Inspiron laptops and neither has a slot big enough to accept the photo card from my very old Nikon Coolpix camera.

Right now I'm not able to download any photos from my little junk camera to my laptop, as one of the dogs chewed on the cord that goes from the camera to my computer. So I have to see about getting another cable. Or get a new, hopefully better, camera that is simple enough for an old...

Gustaf, I'll box it up and run it by the post office to find out what shipping is next time I go into town. I can't take PayPal - the thieving, anti-2nd Amendment, freedom hating, Marxist bandits terminated my PayPal account and banned me for "violation of terms of service" years ago after...

Yes it is.

Relic grade Austro-Hungarian fencing saber. Back in the mid-1970's I had a little antique business and got a lot of stuff through my girlfriend's father, who was an antique importer wholesaler and was bringing in container loads of antiques from Europe, especially Austria. This saber was...

Scabbard for WW1 German saber. This is the top scabbard in the photos. $40 + shipping Scabbard for U.S. Army officer saber. I think this is for the 1903 pattern saber. This is the middle scabbard in the photos. $40 + shipping. .

WW1 GERMAN SABER with scabbard. This is the type with the lion head pommel. I'm having camera issues, this is the only photo I have been able to take and download here. The German saber is the bottom one shown in the photo. Good condition, not exceptional. $140 + shipping

Forestry Officer's Greatcoat Both shoulder boards were in the inside pocket when I got this coat. It does not appear that the shoulder boards were ever attached, so this is probably an unissued item. The button for the right shoulder board is missing - "At The Front" has some original German...

Discussed here: https://www.k98kforum.com/threads/ww2-german-jacket-what-can-you-say-about.57184/#post-446040 and here: https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/fo...jacket-observations-comments-opinions-invited I've owned this jacket since 1971, and it is as I received it when it was given to me...

I picked it up over 40 years ago at a gunshow, for the princely sum of $5. So if it isn't an original, I didn't lose anything on the deal. If it is an original, I'll display it with other Imperial German and Austrian items I've collected over the years. If it's a reproduction/fake, I'll...

I found some photos the "Tapferkeit" medal with ribbon here: https://secondreichmilitaria.com/shop.php?code=114 A beautiful example that looks to be in better condition than mine.

Interesting..... a paperweight, perhaps? I remember seeing photos years ago of a minature helmet like this that was an inkwell.

Here is my small collection of Imperial Austrian medals. I'm thinking of assembling a little display with these and Imperial German medals arranged around an Imperial Austrian Eagle wappen plate I posted up in another section of this site. Any information on these would be appreciated I...

Something I acquired many years ago. About 3 1/2 inches high and 3 inches wide. I'll probably use it as the centerpiece of a little display of Imperial German and Austrian medals. What type of headgear or other item would this have originally been used on?

Thanks! It does indeed fit the Austro-Hungarian sword, as well as a German made U.S. Civil War Light Cavalry saber and a pre-WW2 Czechoslovakian saber I have, all of which need scabbards. I was hoping that it would be correct for one of them.
