Jewelry. 

Found this Arisaka bayonet a few months ago. I am infinitely amazed by what is still out there in the world. I have bought M1 helmets from Greece and North American canteens from Africa. I found an Arisaka type 30 bayonet in a barn in the middle of the U.S. surrounded by cows. Every "thing" I find is a lesson from the past. I have told myself and my children that I collect these things for learning purposes. It is a shame on me and us that history seems to repeat over and over and over and over, but there never seems to be any learning involved.  I am starting to think that I don't want to collect these weapons of war anymore. If I could have my wish I would buy the whole world beers and pints and watch the stars. Here is the bayonet I found in a barn surrounded by cows who were only interested in grazing. I hope you have a great night tonight wherever you are located on this pale blue dot.

Oh, my mistake, I thought it was posted here and another random member was using the pictures trying to pass it off as their own.  I thought it was posted here originally. Yes, you will definitely get some more attention here 😁  

I found these, from the source listed in Post#2:  

looks like a take on the Cuban coat of arms IMHO

Great looking helmet! I'd love to see the inside if you have pics  : )

I think this may be costume jewelry. There are similar types with Red enamel and white enamel.   Search EBAY: "White Red & Blue Key Enamel Shield Maltese Cross Pendant Vintage 15 in Necklace"    Just my thoughts   Leigh    

All I know is that I've had this medal for between forty-five and fifty years.  I can't remember how or where I got it.   (Is it even a real medal, or is it "costume jewelry?)  

Not a fan of the chicken wire. This in my opinion was added post war as the appearance of the condition of the wire does not match the aging of the helmet. Chicken wire will rust and age when exposed to the elements.    Otherwise it looks like a fairly decent helmet   Just my thoughts   Leigh 

yes fanatic, it is mine. being cut off on u.s. militaria forum i put it here to get more comments. there are no stampings on the ear or neck guards, but there is a date on the liner band which appears to be 1942 0r 43. last number a bit hard to see. it is the wire i am concerned about.

Further discussion of this helmet was locked in the US Forum due to no provenance to a soldier as a "Bring Back" Spoil of War.   The discussion can be continue here.   I will add that much better and clearer photos are needed to see any stamps in the rim to properly ID and assess the helmet   https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/409901-who-said-there-is-no-more/   Leigh
