The German WWII B.-patrone in kal. 7,92 / 8mm Mauser. It's in fact a small fire starting grenade, must bee one of the most advanced rifle / MG bullets ever made. [attachmentid=53558]

David and Goliath. 2,7 mm Colibri and .50 Auto. The one in the middle is a 9 mm Luger. [attachmentid=53555]

After moving a while ago, I just started to reorganise my cartridge collection. Will post some pictures from it from time to time. Here is a few to start with. Kjell Just a mess!! [attachmentid=53554]

Anyone who know something about this manufacturer ? The knife well made but is unmarked. Kjell [attachmentid=53545]

The first time I posted this I had my head somewhere else, and posted it under The Imperial Iron Cross. It was moved, but is still locked so here it is again. Kjell [attachmentid=53542]

Sorry, I don't know where I had my head when I posted this here. Can somone move it? Kjell

O yes you are, you know what you are talking about. It's not the amount of weapons that counts but what you know! Kjell PS. I got one more Mk III, an Indian. Will post it when I get it back next week. If it's of any interest.

You are right, both Zimmermann and Godet KC's have the same straighter curve to the arms as the Shinkelform B IC's. Kjell

Just wanted to post the Knight Cross I used in the artistic cross posting. Kjell [attachmentid=52809]

Hi Tom Thanks for your reply. I.m fully aware of the minimum chances of matching parts. But...Got it a few years ago for less than nothing because the seller thought it was some Asian copy. Until recently I have hardly looked at it, but now this is getting interesting. I fired a few rounds whit it in last month and it shoots well. For making the marks stand out; Use ordinary blackboard chalk, shoves up well and easily removed if you if you want to.I learned this when I was collecting Japanese swords to easily photograph inscriptions. Kjell PS My other No 1 Mk.III and Mk.III* [attachmentid=52803]

Thanks for posting it, beautiful cross !! Kjell

Thanks Tom! The rifle is out on loan at the moment, but I will check all parts, nr.etc when I get it back and post some more pictures. I also got some persons who have better Thai contact than me, checking out the writing. There might be mixup parts and the year might be when it was brought into Siamese service? Kjell

Thanks, my pleasure!!! There might be more?? There will for sure be some artistic picture on Chris Boonanzair's artistic gun shot thread. Will picture some German, Russian, British, American and Norwegian guns from WWI and WWII. Kjell

Thanks for your replays! Got some new information on some of the writing. Apparently it's difficult to read old Siamese writing for younger Thai people. The first line is either a bridge?? or a street and got the number 6, so an address makes sense. The last part on the lowest line is a year, 2462 after they're calender which is 1919 in ours. This make sense on a Mk III* export. Kjell

Thanks for clearing that up Darrel! Fortunately I got it from a friend many years ago, for free ! :-) Kjell

Is this a Schinkel B 1.class or a converted 2.class? The back plate seems to be in silver. It's not fitted 100% accurate and seems to be thinner than normal and the pin...? It got this circle on the upper arm were the loop for the 2.class is fitted but I think I have seen this on other 1939 1.classe's. (I got one on a 1957). Have not seen any reverse photos of a Shinkel B 1. class, so I would appreciate to see one. Kjell

I liked this thread, so here is a few more. Kjell [attachmentid=52725]

Thanks! I see I did some errors in my English,but... the pictures should spake for them selves. I just love this thread!! So many interesting items shown in a different way. Keep it up !!!! I will. Kjell

Sorry Greg ! It'sis the same, I was determined to get this one. Next one is yours. Kjell

Thanks! Here is a couple of new ones. Kjell [attachmentid=51291]

Here is the part of my IC 1914 collection where I have concentrated on IC's and the Hindenburg Cross together. This is to show how the IC was mounted together with another medal and my choice was the HC. Kjell [attachmentid=51290]
