yea my great grandfather advanced to Field Marshall i believe...sadly he died in 1988

those are pretty cool

That's pretty nice. I got my Grandfather's war medals as well, 'cept they are all Australian. He got an MBE, which i thought to be pretty impressive. Dinner with the Prime Minister and all that rock:

This one ain't his, since my digital camera sucks, but it's what it looks like for those who don't know;

I'm sure there are some regulations as to what you can and can't own.

maybe before september 11. i pretty sure you can't now

my grandpa had 2. one he sold on e-bay another he has in storage. he also had a nambu pistol. he had a lot of friends who ran american POW camps so he got his hands on a lot of stuff. he has an original copy of mein kampf hidden somewhere in his house.

naw, you just need a "destructive device" license,
which is even harder to get than a class-3 (which allows you to own full-autos, including belt-fed MGs)

Cool man

we've got my grandfather's uniform from post-Korea war.
he was in wwII, Korea. WWII-Army Aircorps, Korea-AIrforce.
retired seinior master sergeant. then the highest enlisted rank.
medals- good conduct medal, Korean service medal, wwii service medal (i think.) my great grandfather was wounded in wwI. my other grandfather was in Korean war homefrount airforce.
military is in my blood. rock:

i've heard that's hard to earn.

Buy one.

Remove the firing pin.

What you have left is a historical - inoperative model.



I have tons of stuff , from familly and things I have collected on my own.

Lots of pictures too.

Dave has some cool stuff too , Hopefully he'll post some pics.

they're expinsive if you dont shop around....

I own a Mosin-Nagant 91/30 rifle, made in 1942. Awesome Rifle, but has pretty good kick to it. I also have a World War One British Rifle made in 1916. These are pretty cheap rifles, can get a nagant for about 90$, and a Lee Enfield from 120-160$.

gunsamerica.com is pretty fair in some places. but u gotta pay $200 bucks to "join" so you have "access" to buy. hake:

Best place to buy imo is http://www.aimsurplus.com. You need either a C&R to order any rifle made before 1952, or the SKS, or a FFL to order a rifle like the Ak-47. Also you can have it shipped to a dealer, and pay him a small fee for handling the order, usually around 20$.

my freind bought a ak-47 for $300 at a gunshow. i've seen airsoft guns and once, a non--firing replica of a ak for more than that!!!!

300$ is pretty good for an AK. at the price it is probably not Russian, but Romainian, a WASR10 or Sar-1. Still though 300$ is not bad for one at a gun show, especially if it is a Sar-1.

i'll see if i can get teh pic of him w/ da gun.

I saw some american medals on e-bay. They have everything but he medal of honor is seems. Fucking idiots. Grandfather storms the beach at normandy and gets a capaign medal and jack ass grandson sells it on e-bay to get a whole 20 bucks out of it. Fucking losers.

How did he get to take home the rifle because they usally dont let you take home stuff like canteens.

Hes a goddamn warhero.. eek:

It'd be because at the end of the war, they would have had a ridiculous amount of weapons left, and even if they could keep track of them all, they probably wouldn't care about a few going missing.

WidowMaker if youre talking to me, he was a high ranking officer, a field marshall i believe, he could do basically anything oOo:

Acideyez, Since this relative of yours was of such a high rank, would there be any online reference to him you could direct us to?

Oh I understand now. I thought he was an Nco or some sort.

What I have....

WW2-
a WW2 german helmet


Korean-
Sleeping bag
Dress pants
dress shirt
belt
ammo pouch
winter jacket
combat jacket
dress shoes
traveling bag

Modern-
Well maybe like 1997 stuff but...
two webvests
combat jacket
camo jacket
traveling bag
3 canteens

plus my uncle is the Canadian Armed Forces now and he's been to Bosnia,Afganistan and he had alot of cool gear and alot of UN Peacekeeping gear, can't wait to get it.

[quote="Captain Wilkins":d7d23]Acideyez, Since this relative of yours was of such a high rank, would there be any online reference to him you could direct us to?[/quote:d7d23]

probably not. Since the fall of the Soviet Union and if there was it would all be in Lithuanian or Russian. You can search "Trimakas" but i doubt you will find anything.

I wish I would have asked my grandfather a lot about WW2 when I was younger.. :(

Damn kids and their ignorant ways.

very nice pics.

[quote="Sgt. Paine":4fc9b]cool pics, i have a rifle in my basement, never really cared what kind, ill find out and check back here soon.[/quote:4fc9b]
