one of my friends got an m44 mosin nagant recently and it is authentic

I nearly bought a Mosin Nagant a few months ago. Found an amazing deal in a firearms magazine, 60$ for the rifle, a sling, and a bayonet.

If you intend to fire it, Felix, you should check the headspacing... make sure the thing doesn't blow to smithereens in front of your face...

I only have modern gear.

I have a few things...

Three Lugers which my grandfather got during the war, from a group of officers that surrendered to him while returning from paris with a load of oil.

Some reproduction posts.

My grandfathers original draft papers

Some letters from my grandpa to his mom and family during ww2

My grandpa's original draft photo

My grandpa's award for "Liberation of France", and "Liberation of North Africa".

I have...

3 German helmets, K98 bayonet, some medals, a repo Waffen SS uniform, 2 pairs of jackboots, a flag and some photos. Enfield rifle from the lend lease (US to UK)

I have a pair of Corcoran Jump Boots, new, not WWII used, but they're made from the same material and I've broken them in well. I have a WWII helmet that I converted to a paratrooper helmet. I've even applied the decals of the 506th, how cliche it may sound, it's been like that since before Band of Brothers ever premiered

I have an airsoft M1A1 Thompson which is fun to shoot. I'd like to eventually build a WWII paratrooper set. And I'm looking into trousers and a jacket next.

I have a m36 German Tunic + trousers
A Walther p38 cap firing + hard leather holster
German gasmask
Two WH Stahlhelms (1 original, 1 repro)
Two original Belgian helmets
Belgian Sergeants cap + Artillery officers cap (original)
WH sidecap
Belt + buckle

Off the top of my head, I can't even begin to list the amount of WWII gear I have. I have everything from uniforms to toilet paper to weapons to field gear to rations to Lord knows what else.

I have a full American Infantry Impression, American Marine Impression, American Navy Corpsman Impression (these were the docs to the Marines since they don't have any of their own), American Airborne Infantry Impression. I have all those uniforms, gear, medals and much more to go along with each of them.

Kind of crazy how much stuff I got...

A real M1 Garand that was manufacture in 1942 and saw a lot of action! I use it for my reenactments. ;D
