OK, first off, you need a couple things. Para cord, *light weight synthetic cord* or just any plain old rope, as long as its not thicker then your pinky finger. A steel bar, find a good quality coat hanger, made of steel perhaps, it must/should be at least twice the thickness of your rope, unless your rope is as thick as your pinky. A large nail, or screw, would easily work. Home depo, or other hardware stores have barn nails, buy one. Now you will need some zap straps. There easy to find. Now fasten the rope 2-5inches underneath the tip of the point on your spike, use about 5 straps. Experiment with different ways of weaving/twisting your rope around the spike while fastineng it. This will make the zap straps have more to grab. Now do the same at the very end of your spike. Use more zap straps, 6-8, this is the most important part. It cannot slide much at all or your spike will become dislodged and dangourous. Now, if you want, get a peice of THIN fabric that is brightly coulord and zap strap it on to the spike for more controll.

Luger's will generally sell for $900-2000. Take it to an older gunsmith or shop owner for a decent appraisal. Most will do it for free. Or atleast take it to a gunshop that has some older-looking guns in it. Tell the shop owner your Luger is a family heirloom so they don't think you'll potentially sell it to them.

Condition and caliber make a huge difference. The most common chambering is in .30 Luger. It's almost ironic how hard ammo is to find for the that popular chambering. There are very few Lugers chambered for the very common 9mm Luger round. These pistols sell for much more. (~$2000)

Serial numbers on German pistols don't mean much because they are said to be false. Germany stamped repeats of serial numbers to disguise it's mass production of arms right before WWII.

FYI: It's generally considered a bad idea to publicly share the serial numbers of guns you own, although it's not really as big of a deal in this case, since it's a gun with a factory-stamped false serial number. Serial number is usually important in terms of value though, so if you post another serial number in the future, post it like so: "75XX" or "7XXX"

The Luger P08 was the side arm used by the German Army for both World War 1 and World War 2. The pistol was deisgned by George Luger and went into production in 1908, thus Pistol 08 or P08. The design had a unique toggle receiver mechanism. The gun has only 2 screws and they hold on the wood grips. This design uses close tolerance, sliding mechanisms that does not withstand dirt and grime. That is why the Luger holster completely encloses the pistol.

Value of ANY gun is driven by make, model, condition, and originality. We can't see your rifle, of course. This would really need a hands on review by someone that knows antique firearms. Frankly, it could be worth $50, or $5000. In the meantime, please do not attempt to "clean up" the rifle- what many people call dirt, collectors call "patina". There are companies that, for a fee, can perform an appraisal- but they will require multiple high quality photos to do that.

Impossible to answer without the serial number.

you probably have a civil war percussion rifle that was converted to (trapdoor) 50/70 center fire cartridges. value would depend on condition - wood, metal, bore...........any rust, pitts, etc, etc, etc

I need more information. What's the country of manufacture, and what's the country of issue. For example, an 1891 Argentine bayonet manufactured in germany, depending on a number of factors, is worth anywhere between $50 and $200.

it is a closed society. indoctrination of the youth gives total allegience (without question) to the North Korean leadership........it is the same method initiated by Adolph Hitler when he rose to power..............

Depends upon:

* what country the cannon balls are from, * if they are attached to any battle of significance, * what type of cannon they were shot from, * what year they are from

none known

This depends on which military organization you are asking about. Standard equipment will be different, for example, for the Belgian Army than for the army of Malawi.

For the US Arms, the short and simple answer is "to read Common Tables of Allowances 50-900 (Clothing and Individual Equipment), 50-909 (Field and Garrison Furnishings and Equipment) and 50-970 (Expendable/Durable Items)."

The real answer is that there is no such thing as "standard issue military equipment." Every unit, and sometimes every part of a unit, has different equipment. I'll give you an example: I was in three tactical units: the 101st Airborne Division, III Corps and the 10th Mountain Division. When you report to a unit they send you to Central Issue Facility to draw field equipment. The issue at those three places was completely different--the 101st gave me a smaller pack than the other two places, III Corps gave me mechanic's coveralls and the 10th Mountain gave me a $1500 arctic uniform.

Some times called a dirk. Or it can be called a Skien Dhu, which in Gaelic is ` little black knife ``.

Worn tucked into the top of the hose top, on the leg. A nice one, with a real jewelled top and engraved silver plated handle, can cost up to $500. Scabards are made from black ebony, or Stag Horn.

Germany has never issued schillings. Some of the German states, such as Hamburg had the Schilling before the introduction of the Mark in 1874.

Depends on which manufacturer made the M1, condition, early war, late war.

Value runs from about $700 to $900 in average shape. This applies only to military manufacture M1 Carbines- civilian aftermarket firearms are less.

A waffenfabrik neuhausen bayonet serial number 108861 is worth approximately 300 USD.

See related links for Wikipedia articles pertaining to this question. Bear in mind that a number of AK47 variants have been manufactured in many different countries, and some variants may be used on an informal basis by countries which don't "formally" use the type. One example of this would be the Maadi Misr, which is an Egyptian-manufactured AKM, and is in the inventory of the United States Marine Corps.

In many countries, the type has been replaced, either by the AK74 or by NATO standardised weapons. In Russia, the AK74 is the main issue rifle, and not the AK47 or AKM, although some ministries still use the AKM and AK103. Compiling a complete list of who uses these variants would be rather time consuming, but if you follow the related link, and go from there, you should get a basic idea.

whem did the rations finish in world war 2?

Valee will be based on condition, EXACT model, and originality- some of the early carbines are worth more as a collector's item. An ORIGINAL (not rebuilt, mixed parts) M1 Carbine in NRA GOOD is currently selling for $550-$700.

Has been in the family for +60 years, all original (stamped+cartouche) with serial #1094645

The StG44 aka MP44 cost $26 USD or RM 65 in 1944-45

$19,000 USD in 2012 plus $200 BATFE tax stamp

semi auto repro $500 USD

dress daggers of WW2 German military forces has risen in the last few years. Depending on condition and if with scabbard & tassel, it could range from $250 to several hundred dollars. Again, depending on condition.

A good deal on a footlocker is between $35 and $50. However, I've seen them go for over $150! Make sure there isn't any mold/cracks/warpage/etc. Good Luck!

The value of a Japanese soldier's rifle from World War II varies on model and condition. A paratrooper's rifle in good condition might be worth as much as a $1,000. Most other rifles of the era are worth less than that.
