    Militaria stores in Italy?

    I think the days of shops in distant lands is largely in the distant past. While in Venice be sure to visit the Naval Museum. Really a fascinating place to see. And the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome has some great items on display.

    Guess Where?

    This was sort of on the Great Lakes. It was on Lake St. Clair on Saturday. That is connected to the Great Lakes -- between Lake Erie via the Detroit River to the South and Lake Huron via the St. Clair River to the north. I live about a 10 minute walk from the lake.

    Fake Tropical Helmet

    Well, I'm quite upset to see this listed on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/256607212652 The owner contacted me last week and asked my opinion, and I told him it is a BAD fake. It is a modern replica helmet with a fake wappen. It is so bad no one will likely buy it. His listing: Imperial...

    Just curious if anyone knows about this helmet....?

    I don't think it is real. A lot of fakes of Imperial Russian stuff from that part of the world. And there were costumes made for various films including "Nicholas and Alexandria" and the BBC mini-series "The Fall of Eagles."

    Question for Americans - Local Gun Shop?

    I need to call a couple of American gun shops for a story I'm writing and given the assault on the Second Amendment I don't want to cold call any shops if I can help it. Do any of our American members know a local shop owner that might be able to help me out?

    Ottoman Steel Helmet

    It looks like a cut down German M16 steel helmet. I bought Mark Dillenbeck's Ottoman WWI helmet from him and received it at SOS. I'll post photos later.

    Creepy

    This is increasingly common, and part of the problem is that Facebook is slow to crack down on fake accounts. We may be surprised that an image from Kasier's Bunker is on Facebook, but we have to accept that there are still a lot of collectors who have never heard of the site, just as many...
