Hi what about the 5.56mm F88 Austeyr rifle ? from www.adi-limited.com :

The Steyr assault rifle is manufactured under licence to Steyr Mannlicher AG by ADI and supplied to the armed forces of Australia and New Zealand as well as other overseas countries. This state-of-the-art weapon is in service in over 30 countries. This military weapon meets today's challenging and unpredictable combat situations with the following features:

Very high accuracy

Fully operational in the most severe climates and field conditions for lengthy periods

Easy maintenance under adverse conditions: stripping for field cleaning, maintenance or storage is possible without requiring any tools.

Lightweight but delivering heavy fire power: the rifle is made from state-of-the-art materials including high impact glass fibre reinforced polymers.

A long service life

Ability to convert into any of four different weapon configurations:

Commando

Light support

Assault rifle

Carbine

Operational in low light conditions

Accepts various aiming devices mounted on a Picatinny Rail

The Steyr can also be fitted with a 40mm grenade launcher

To they don't look like a "traditional" weapon & I much preferred the look of the SLR but I guess looks are secondary to firepower

Hi Rick - here are mine - I assume they are the same as the ones that you have shown ?

First EK1

Hi Darrell - here is a composite of mine that I bought off the WAF E-Stand.

It was discussed there in as much detail as can be for this medal...meaning not very much LOL but seemed that most thought it was ok. The difference is that the marker mark is raised not indented like most.

The ribbon I am still not sure of as it didnt pass the dreaded burn test. What are your ribbons like are they soft or like mine stiff ??

Craig

Great stuff guys, keep it coming!! Craig, welcome to the forum!!

Great thread John - I to would love to go but it's a bit faraway for me at the moment.

I have really got interested in the history of these Islands since watching 'Island at War" on the UK TV cable network we get over here

Thanks for sharing

Craig

Craig,

What do those nice "motto'd" HJ Knives go for now days?

Hi Darrell - the last one pictured I got off the WAF Estand I think for USD 425.00 The handle etc it is almost mint condition & the blade is prob excellent, in fact if I could swap the blade of the first one with the handle of the second I'd almost have one as nice as Daves

It all depends on condition (doesn't it always!)...this little beauty cost me almost ?350   :speechless-smiley-004:

Fantastic Dave - you can't get any better than that :food-smiley-004:

Craig, did you pick all of those up in Oz?

Tony

no mate only the SA Kober I got in Oz.

Everything else has been off the WAF Estand except the sword which I got from Bill Shea.

There is hardly any good things over here we have to go overseas to get anything half decent

Regards

Craig

last one - a lowley boot knife
