go to: Gunboards.com scroll down to JAPANESE section. you can offer your jap rifle for sale there..................

I found a chassepot bayonet from 1866, medium condition, sold for 100€, and another from 1874, in perfect condition, for 300€. A seller of old weapons, like that in link, would certainly assess that bayonet better.

The Russian GP5 filters are not toxic. Don't worry. They just won't protect you from any NBC chemicals. You probably don't need to worry about that though because I doubt that you are going to be bathing in nuclear waste. The coffee can filters, on the other hand, have a much higher risk of containing asbestos. You can use the short, cylindrical filters, but not the tall ones.

The Marine Corps birthday is November 10.1775

The most precise answer is between September 1942 and February 1944.

New models can be purchased for roughly $250 plus $25-$40 depending on options.

If you go to a gun show you can buy them right from high-point for as low as 119$ and on gunbrokers.com for 139.99

$150 to several thousand dollars, depending on condition,markings, and history of the gun.

17-40 years old are eligible to join the marines

Without a detailed description; 100-10000 USD

The Stephens Springfield 22 caliber model 840 rifle is values at $250 in fair condition. In good condition, it is valued at $400.

WWII-era military currency may be old, but it isn't worth very much. Every GI in the Pacific came home with a pocket full of bills. Being that it's a larger denomination, it might be worth upwards of a dollar.

when will be nda2 (2009) result will come out

if you look down on pistol you should note a date over the chamber area. that is when it was made......................

OP:

If that is the case, then my pistol was made in 1601; around 300 years before the patent was awarded.

Then there is the 'f' at the end of that, which might denote June, it being the sixth month of the year.

I really don't think that is the answer, but thanks for your time.

The date of manf. for (most) lugers is directly over the chamber. Some exceptions as with letters 'byf' or letter 'G' or 'K'. I would greatly appreciate SEEING a 1601 over the chamber area of a luger . A luger COULD have the serial # 1601f, but that would be on the side or bottom of barrel. Are your sure it's a luger ????? A picture will tell.

OP:

The number and letter series is on the bottom of the barrel, under a crown with an "N" over it. I have checked over and over again and I cannot see anything marked over the chamber.

Yes, I am sure that it is a luger. I'll get a picture up when I can find time.

OP:

Did some more research and found out that I have a civilian luger. It has GERMANY stamped on the side IAW the import laws the U.S. had back in the early half of the 20th century. No book or person I have talked to can still point me in the right direction for it's date of manufacter, however Lugers like mine were made and imported in large quantities circa 1930 to help Germany pay off their World War 1 debt. Everything I have found concerning Lugers in any detail are concerned with the 9mm models, mine being a 7.65mm.

Also the marking below the 1601 is not an "f", but rather a "p" in the old German script.

I guess it is the best I can get right now.

Thanks for all your help internet.

The value will depend on several factors, beginning with the actual model. Then the condition is very important. Even a broken gun may be worth a few hundred if it still looks good (it is unlikely that anyone is going to actually shoot it). If it is in pristine condition it can bring a few thousand and if you can document its use in the Civil War (would have to be a bit older than 1865), add another thousand or so. If you can document use by the Confederacy, it could go into the tens of thousands.

It was a licensed Browning A5, The number 2 selling shotgun in the world.

Amazing as it may seem, the holster for the German Luger can be worth as much as $300.

in very fine condtion about 13 dollars

in extra fine is about 14 almost uncirculated is 16 uncirulated 60 is 21 ms-63 is 35 ms-64 is 55 and ms-65 is about 175 the pricing is based off the 2007 prices

Depends on condition, type of sights, whether it was a pre-war Commercial Model that was capured, etc. If the pistol has waffenampt markings, values could be as low as $200, or as high as $1700, but $400-$700 would be more typical.

Please look again. These coins were made of zinc-plated steel. The mint has never made any cents out of silver. For one thing, silver cents would be worth more than dimes!!

Unless your coins are in uncirculated condition and have not been cleaned or replated, they're worth about 25-30¢ in average condition.

The Model 1913 Cavalry Saber (aka Patton Sword) were made at the Springfield Armory from 1913 to 1918 and by L.F. & C. in 1918 and 1919. The one you refer to was made at Springfield was obviously made at Springfield. In total, the Springfield Armory made over 35,000 M-1913 Cavalry Sabers, of which over 25,000 were made in 1914, carrying both 1913 and 1914 dates. In 1918, Springfield was authorized to make 5,000 sabers, as none had been authorized in 1916 or 1917 (examples are know with these dates). Currently, the lowest recorded serial number known with the 1918 date is 32,822 and the highest is 37,610. It is estimated that half or more of M-1913 sabers were made into fighting knives for WWII. Since condition is everything, a truly excellent example of a 1918 date saber, with a scabbard in equal condition is $650 to $950, as excellence is in the eye of the beholder.

Longer (effective) range.

Longer barrels on a firearm allow for more complete burning of the propellant, which results in a higher muzzle velocity, which in turn results in a longer effective range, when compared to an identical weapon with a shorter barrel.
