Militaria

'ACP' means Automatic Colt Pistol. A 1911, for example, would chamber a .45 ACP cartridge.

If you mean check for stolen, there is no data base open to the public. Ask you local law enforcement if they will check the serial number agaisnt the NCIC database. They will want to have the firearm when they check it.

no history was kept on any lugers

you are wasting your time if you try to 'learn' some history on a 1937 luger.

the Germans did not keep detail issued records on each firearm nor did any nation keep detailed issued records on their firearms.

one exception is the US civil war and Indian wars. there are SOME records indicating who a specific weapon was issued to, the date and unit.

the G43 has gone up in pricing. it is difficult to give a figure because if you ask for one price someone else is sure to offer more. you have to ask around. Go to: Gunbroker.com a g43 sniper going for $3,000 A standard model,not matching, going for almost $2,000 check it out

Anywhere from $25-1000. The value of a weapon (especially a military weapon) will be based on condition and originality- as well as the EXACT model. If a military rifle has been "sporterized", it loses much of it's value to a collector. And there were several models of Mauser rifle made in 8mm- both military and civilian. You will need a "hands on" assessment by someone that knows Mauser rifles. Try local gun shop, or a gun show.

Impossible to say without more information. Value of any gun is based on exact make, model, condition, and originality. You MAY have a Mauser K-98, in good condition worth $200-350, but there are dozens of variants, in all sorts of condition. You will need a hands on appraisal. Visit local gu shop, or local gun show.

Find a book that has sn data on your particular firearm.

An M4 is a military carbine that is a shorter varient of the M16 Assault Rifle, this carbine is shorter and lighter, allowing it to be highly adaptable in missions, this is why it is often used in special forces operations, in wich they are often modified with the SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar MODification).

# M4/M203 + HK MP5. # G36+ Desert eagle # Dragnov svd+UMP # Usas12+Frag Grenade # M16A1+Glock18 === === Depends on the range. For close range, use the Remington 870 or the Mossberg 500 shotgun. For mid to semi-long range, the M4 is a good choice. As for pistols, the M1911 is great as a backup for power, reliability, and sheer availability.

All South American nations have an army. Remember that South America only includes the nations of Brazil, Suriname, Guyana, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, and Uruguay. The continent does not include Central American or Caribbean nations.

Use Autosol or rubbing compound and buff it Assuming it is an old button, you do not want to remove the patina. Do not use Brasso or naval jelly. When I buy an old brass British cap badge, I clean it with a tooth brush and tooth paste. That removes any dirt and cleans it just enough to look a little brighter.

In response to the granddaughter; i have an original print of reunion. I have owned it since i was 6 given to me by grandmother. Contact me regarding k

in ww2 and ww1 childen had to make their own toys out of reycilble objects.such as a pretend robot with a secrat compartment in the back of his/her head by cutting a 3 side rectangle, skittles out of bottles and covered with paint, a go cart made out of wood or a catcher wich is a ball (scrunched up paper)on string and you catch it in a half of a bottle of a coke bottle (the lid end.) these are great to use for ww1 and ww2 topics.

i'll add more tomorrow...

a lot of money! (I would like to have that!)

Are you talking about a modern reproduction for re-enactment purposes, or an original antique? If the former, the maker's name and date of manufacture would assist. original antique in 70 % condition

Breed's Hill, in Boston MA, is the site of most of the Revolutionary War action commonly known as the Battle of Bunker Hill.

I'd say there was no winner. The USSR did collapse later on mainly because it did not have funds coming into its nuclear program like the US did.

But let's just consider the Cold War just as it is.

Reagan getting credit for the end of the Cold War is just incorrect because the final end of the Cold War was in the time of JFK.

Russia did take it's missiles out of Cuba as JFK asked but let's face it, the USSR wasn't going to launch an attack. And even if it was, it didn't need to be 26 or so miles away from it's target, it could have guided it eastward from the Soviet Union (If they could sent sputnik I and II our of earth's atmosphere, they could have launched a missile to the US). Reagan started negotiations with Gorbachev but in the end, Kennedy finished it.

Gorbachev played a very significant role, which Americans tend to ignore but it has to be noted that the US was in shock after the first sputnik launch. Gorbachev on the other hand was no Stalin. He was quite a peaceful man who sought to put an end to the war and give the Soviet Union a chance at peace after the long devastation under the hands of Hitler and then Stalin.

I don't see Gorbachev as having any intention at firing the nuclear weapons because the U.S. couldn't afford an attack like that and a retaliation could have very well ended in Armageddon for the entire world. The USSR put the missiles in Cuba just to get it out and in return, the US had to give up several "leverages" that it had on the USSR in terms of weapons.

And after the fall of the Soviet Union, the U.S. continued and still continues to make weapons of mass destruction.

To win a decisive war, military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz believed that this is best accomplished by destroying the enemy's army. He did make mention that the capture of the enemy's capital city was important, however, that city had to be a significant military target and lose many of its defenders in the combat.

Between $100 and $10,000, depending on model and condition. There are MANY different Lugers.

This is sort of like how much is a 1915 automobile worth? Just as there are many models of cars, there are many models of Luger. Value will depend on EXACT model, condition, and originality. It may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars for some rare versions. An accurate answer will require a hands-on assessment from a person that knows Lugers.

he was a succelful teacher and he was ask to be in the army
