Two thumbs up, brother!    

Welcome to the forum, and I hope to someday find one of your books. They look interesting! Wade

1940 dated   Was a rusted crusted bayonet, it’s in need of the 3 piece lock mechanism, if anyone has a parts bin or donor bayonet   underneath the rust are some nice markings   thanks for looking      

If you look in that book you'll see my name as I was a big contributor to that collecting series of books. 😁 Dwayne Slepetz 

Are you familiar with this book by Joseph Cassidy & Chrystopher Alexander? It's a wonderful asset - full of good information, excellent color photographs, and accurate valuations. On page 95 are visible several Türplaketten (paper door plaques) and you can see that the early 1934 ones receive the "four dollar sign" ($$$$) valuation.  ($$$$ = a value in the range of $26 - $100)  

I found this photo in a group of Armenian family photos at an Estate sale. I am having a hard time Identifying what country he was serving. The uniform does not have any insignia that I can see other than a crossed cannons hat badge. I think the 2 bayonets on the left and the one he is holding may be French Gras bayonets. I have not been able to ID the swords on the right side of the Picture. He is also wearing some unusual shoes. I also found a picture of Armenian General Andranik with a poem on it. IF anyone can translate Armenian I would like to know what the poem says. 

Thanks😀

Nice.  Rich A. in Pa.

Thanks edelweiss, but to me these areas look different....  also This area It's definitely looking like US, I'm trying to find exact match if that's even possible 

Looks like US Navy officer’s sword knot   https://www.medalsofamerica.com/gold-sword-knot?srsltid=AfmBOoo1iUHcg0YMJNgoGjcUxEuxGfknN5v4kw1-3BbzR_Iqk7-k_be-

Hello, I picked up this set of epaulettes and troddle, I'm wondering if anyone here can ID the troddle... Or confirm if it's imperial German... I'm thinking maybe it went on a sword... I will say it does have a little weight to it but the long ribbon reminds me of the material Christmas bows are made out of..lol ..thanks
