      Your belt buckle seems to indicate the wearer was a Manchukuoan officer.  The five petal cherry blossom has about 20 stamen which indicates higher rank.  This is the Manchu Qing Dynasty puppet state set up by the Japanese.

      Recently acquired this Officer's belt, with two piece buckle and holster.  With my limited knowledge in this area (I mainly concentrate on WWII RAF/RCAF) I think these may be for a Japanese officer?  What threw me off a bit was the holster, as it does not appear to be for a Nambu and the impression in the leather seems to be for a fluted cylinder revolver.  Any help or thoughts greatly appreciated.  Many thanks in advance.   Paul

      That's what I was guessing, not very familiar with firearms. Though I find older military surplus rifles interesting but having a low budget means most are to expensive for me.

      Agreed with daskrieg,,,   Country of origin and matching parts will determine sometimes the wide price range... I have a Yugoslavian SKS,, I think I paid $300 at the time..   Leigh

      I came across what looks like an NSKK dagger while scrolling through Collectors Firearms website and I am curious about its authenticity as they don’t get those in very often. Can you guys help me determine if it is legitimate or not?

      Depends on manufacturers, I bought my Chinese ones online under 300, nothing fancy just 1968 dated military issue. My local gun shop usually sells then in the 400 range up to 600 range

      What is an sks worth? I was curious because sometimes I videos on YouTube of people walking around flea markets and sometimes there's an sks for sale. The highest one I remember was $5000. I also saw someone say In a video that there worth $500 and and read somewhere else that there worth around $300. Then I saw one at the flea market for $800. So I've become curious as to what their actual value is since there is such a big difference between the highest price and the lowest I've seen.

      Thank you for your responses. An elderly woman brought this to me at our local flea market. She didn't want very much money for it.

      A Italian Camo Jacket,  a style kinda a cross between an M44, or a British BD, lets say for now a British BD, It's an online find in some collection or a museum, don't know if it is an actual Luftwaffe one, as the Luftwaffe cap maybe just displayed there. Got Green Waffenfarbe on shoulder straps of the Gebirgsjäger/Jäger shade, so if LW,  maybe worn by an Infantryman of one of those Feld Divisionen in Italy as they used the same approximate Green Waffenfarbe

      In 1915, someone paid $.50 US for this sterling silver brooch pin after seeing this in a publication ofThe Fatherland.   The Fatherland was a pro-German, weekly periodical, published in the United States from August 1914 to 1917, and established shortly after World War I began. Its aim was to promote American neutrality, advocate for "fair play” for Germany and Austria-Hungary, and combat anti-German sentiment in the U.S.   I bought this brooch at a flea market in 1994 for $1.00. I did a conversion this evening which equated $.50 US in 1915 to $16.18 US in 2026.
