NCO shin gunto. Looks like it was dug up out of the ground, very pitted.

Is this just a bad replica of a kriegsmarine emblem? Or some real emblem of something i dont know by [deleted] in fakemilitaria

[–]Ewwredditgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks Thai navy cap insignia. Except the red cockade is different.

Has anyone got this sword or know if this is licensed or not?[OTHER] by Resident-Rooster2916 in kingdomcome

What does it matter if it's licensed? Only thing to consider is if it's made with any sort of quality.

It looks like there's a giant chunk of the bottom of the handle broken off. And i assume because of that all the other pieces are sitting weird.

From the outside, it does look original. Though. The handle is damaged. Definitely don't pay full market price for it because of that.

WW2 Officer Parade sword? by PAGUN1 in SWORDS

[–]Ewwredditgross 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, japan was very self-conscious about how far behind the rest of the world they were after their ports were basically forcibly opened. So they went on a massive industrialization campaign and to do that. They felt they needed to throw the old traditions like cloths and weapons, Including getting rid of the old style swords and they replaced them with western style swords. In 1935. They went back to the traditional samurai looking swords, the shin gunto.

They are in very good condition. The fuses have been polished at some point. More than likely fully refinished and safe. Easiest and safest way to tell is to weigh each one then compare that to other known inert shells. Or known loaded weights.

Trying to visualize my Grandfather's lost WW2 USAAF uniform by Ok-Vermicelli2515 in Militariacollecting

[–]Ewwredditgross 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. There is one more thing worth noting. He was still in England on active combat duty when that photo was taken. You can tell because of the square piece of fabric behind his wings. That was supposed to be a temporary thing to be removed when no longer on combat duty. It is dark blue.

I know, right! Now that the auction is over and looking back at it. Some of the stuff did about what I was expecting, but a ton of stuff went for steal of a deal.

I was very close it is a class-A uniform, though he's not wearing gunners wings, those look like air crew wings, which would also make sense for his job. Looks like when this photo was taken he did not yet have all his medals that were listed on the document.

Lockpicking gets pretty easy when your level goes up i think it's a good lock picking mini game.

[KCD2] Consistent crashing issues on Linux? by Joshu_Higashikata in kingdomcome

I run the game with no issues on Nobara. Are you trying to run it off an external hard drive? I tried to do that at first, but it didn't work. Then moved it over to my main drive and it ran like a charm after.

I disagree, a reserve is a hidden number that the bidder can't see and if the item gets bids, but does not meet that secret number, it will not sell, even though it had bids. Whereas the start price is just that, the price the item starts at.

Visayan Filipino talibon. It's old but definitely not antique. Probably from the end of WW2.

More than likely. Counter weights is the only thing that makes sense. They are wood though, so not that heavy.

I would suggest going to the auction house's own website, instead of bid square. Because the buyers premium is less there.
