Back in 2011 there was an interesting discussion on the forum about these variants and I wonder if we might revive the topic to see if any fresh information about them has come to light since. I have attached photos of my Prussian infantry example which was made by Wilhelm "something" of...

Gentlemen Am I right in thinking that, under the new site format, it is now possible to post photos without the need for a third party such as Picorator? If so, can someone please guide me on how to transfer a photo from Microsoft's documents and insert it into a forum post? Many thanks. WEIMAR

Some years ago this came into a friend's antique shop from a house clearance. I have no other provenance. It is a standard British WW1 jack knife which has received a hit from a Mauser bullet. The bullet must have been fired from extreme range to have lost enough energy not to have gone through...

However, many of them display under the front peak the logo of Firma von der Heyden of Berlin. Col J mentions this...

I am hoping that forum members can help me decipher the marks on my Prussian issue M79 Reichsrevolver. There is a crossed out mark which is 1.R.A.G.2.58. I guess that this could be 1st Guard Reserve Field Artillery 2nd battery weapon 58. Does that sound OK? A second mark, not crossed out, is...
