Since we have entered 2014 and it is 100 years since the outbreak of world war 1, I have to post the few items I have from this war. First is a Norwegian army fork with the Royal lion that was used between 1907 and 1937.   Norwegian Army cooking pot, also with the mini lion on the royal emblem.   British Lee Enfield bayonet,stamped 1907. These was still in use during ww2.      German M1916 helmet with battledamage.      Looks like a small piece of lead stuck under the brim..  French 75mm fuze primer.     A part of a german flare gun found in Northern Norway this autumn.        Trigger guard for a Walther Leuchtpistole, found outside Saldus,Latvia.    |
