Soldiers from the Swedish Skaraborgs regemente mid 1970’s. Base maintenance personnel never thought they would be spending so much time unclogging drains.

Here's a photo in my collection of a dispatch rider:    

Here are the battle damaged NVA items in my collection, picked up the chest rig and canteen recently. -Ryan  

Congratulations on a great bayonet. It’s nice to see things from Utica. So am I 😁. I was born and raised there.  mikie

Pretty sure I paid a bit more than you Joseph, from memory, prob around $200

Hello, anyone have an idea when this badge might have been produced? I beleive it's genuine, appears to be chrome rather than siver plated. A slight yellow hue can be seen on the reverse and on the obverse where some plating has worn at the edges.  Thanks Billyh 

Wow! Thank you for the ID! I wasn’t able to find it myself. I carefully looked inside but did not see any markings. But now I know what to look for. The shop wants $95 US for it. Which seems to be a really good deal. But it’s out of my budget these days. It’s in beautiful condition. The only thing it seems missing is the cord that weaves through those eyelets that holds the line in place. Maybe I’ll offer $50?    Thanks again!  mikie

Very nice collection. To me the m1934 pistol is every bit as iconic as the Luger and 1911a1.

Would like to know if an original long m1870 bayonet would fit on a M1870/87/15 rifle? Been hearing yes and no, would like to know the facts before getting one. Thanks for any wisdom you have on the subject.
