Hello Tony, Not sure why you can't post the train video, could be as Dave mentioned? Try and post it on Youtube and send us the link. I meant to mention that I looked on ebay for WW2 German trains......What a helluva price they want to sell them for, yeh I can see the finances going fast even if you like them. Many Thanks and hope you are feeling better.......Best wishes to you and the cats.......Ian

Hello Bjorn, Great item, and a little deceptive if you don't open the tin and realise it's a small cooker......Brilliant in finding it.....Well Done! Best to you all......Desert Rat/ Ian

Thanks for that Rich, I did not think of it being a Krag bayonet

Hello DTG, Sorry to say I have the same opinion as Dave, I can only suggest you look on Google and add the Makers Marks which may help you find where it originated from? Best to you.......Desert Rat

I have to admit that I am not up on Bayonets, but I have,nt seen one like this before, Its not a German type as far as I no unless its a late war type or post war, there,s guys on here that may help you,

Yeah Sorry Tony, but there,s nothing being shown, theres sound, and thats it, Have you got a softwhere problem, its strange that it has started to go wrong all of a sudden

I found this bayonet while cleaning up my parents house a while back. Can anyone tell me anything about it? Bayonet pics

BRILLIANT........Bjorn....Made me laugh....Very good!!! Best to you......Ian (We need more like that)

I.m not sure that the rare swords went to WKC , these were items that were part of our History, I have an idea that these may have been sent to the Royal Small Arms display in Leeds UK, this is also the place where the Royal Enfield Small Arms factory located to, that was just down the road from me as Enfield lock is where I go fishing and the factory is now a Museum, its also the place where the Sten gun was made and most of the weapons used in WW1 and WW2, its also a place where parts that did not make the grade were tossed into the deep parts of the River Lee (all though they were not allow

It actually looks like most of the production eqipment and parts were bought up by the WKC factory.

One of my customers was Wilkinson Sword in Acton and I would go there every month to see what they wanted , and I would stay and watch them making and finishing swords, it was so interesting seeing how they did it, and as you walked into the main front of the office you looked up and saw all the different types of swords hanging on the wall, these dated from modern to very old and there was also original Claymores , these were huge and worth a fortune, i dont no what happened to it all when they closed but it was a real shame

Hello Dave, Yes I hope you find the thief who stole it and give him......A VERY close shave, especially in the neck area!!! Best wishes to you both.....IanB

Hello Bjorn, A brilliant written account you have sent us, a great explanation... of course excellent! Many Thanks & Best to you both.....IanB

Home / About WKC / History Tradition since 1573 1560 The history of the company Weyersberg, Kirschbaum & Cie (W.K.C.) in Solingen began in the early middle-ages, when the trademark „Kingshead“ was registered by the bladesmith Johannes Wundes in 1560. This trademark is one of the oldest registered and is still in use today. 1573 In the 16th century, the forging technique in Solingen was already quite advanced in its development and Wilhelm Weyersberg, the ancestor of one of the WKC founders, became mayor of the city of Solingen. During this period, the so called „Solinge

Yes, the sword is very nice, only the scabbard has some damage to the paint. Luckily no dents. It's a WKC Solingen sword. You can just see the knight's helmet on the blade here. The WKC solingen factory is still in existence today, making swords, daggers and other dress uniform items. Have a look at their website - they are offering high quality products. Lots of very nice and decorative items there: https://www.wkc-solingen.de/en And they are offering refurbishment services too. I have been playing with the idea of sending the scabbard

To be honest that sword is in very good condition, the only parts that I can see that are not 100% is the scabbard, the blade is very good and the guard is as well, from what I can see there,s no bad parts to it at all, if you really needed to you could have the scabbard re done by a Swordsmith who would make it look 100% original , but are you really worried about it, do you know the makers name under the Eagle,

One of my Dad's workmates before the war was - William Walter - from Edenbridge, Kent, UK...after his initial training in 57 Squadron, then was then transferred to 617 Sqdn .

Hello Bjorn, I hope you are all well, just a question.....Tony says that you have Russian Blue cats in your photos....sorry I did not see them....Please show again..... Many Thanks and Best Wishes...IanB/ UK

Thanks Tony, Certainly a beautiful cat.....If I didn't love Siamese so much I would buy one of these, they are magnificent. Best Wishes...Ian

Hello Tony, Sorry to say I cannot see the video....???? Hope to soon....Best Wishes.....Ian

Most people would look at that and not bother , but you have this mind set of seeing some thing , knowing just what it is and getting it for a decent price, I had no idea about this and I dont think many people do , I have never seen one before, well done you

In the summer of 2019, I was able to obtain this little baby to my collection. This one is in really good condition, and quite rare to come by these days. I stumbeled on it by chanse - I was searching for a ordinary non-collapsible field forge for my wife and kids to play with. ( It is really fun to heat up pices of steel and hammer it out into different tings ) Anyway, i came across it on a facebook sale with no firm price on it. I immediatly recognized it, and knew what it really was when i saw pictures of it, and offered the guy 300 euros for it, and he said yes to my offer.

Thats a bit strange, audio but no video, , have you checked your programming , it there a a fault coming up?????
