I'm not sure what advice you are asking forum members.  If you like obvious replicas, why not? The auction says(my paraphrase) it's a replica display piece, depicting a certain unit, and artificially aged to appear as if used in WWII. What are you willing to pay for a known replica and why you'd want it are questions only you can answer.  D

Nice acquisition.  I have a few of these myself and you're correct, they are well made knives.  Some of the Knife Crafter knives have etchings visible on the sword blade portion of the knife.  They are beautiful knives for sure.  Congrats!

I have some life rings I’ve accumulated lately and would love to see others. If you have some please post it here.    USS Arleigh Burke DDG-51 with light.

I would mostly agree, of the four, Narborough Co. badges are probably the hardest to find, but Ludlow is a close second.  

Saw this at a local auction this past weekend and decided to bid and got it. I had always been intrigued by WWII knives made from Civil War era swords.  So, not knowing anything at all about swords, I posted several photos on an AI site to see if it could narrow down what sort of sword it was made from.  The AI site asked numerous questions and wanted me to take photos from several different angles and it concluded:  “Your Knife Crafters knife was made from the mid-section of a M1840 German made cavalry saber, almost certainly  a Kirschbaum, originally imported and retailed by Horstmann of Philadelphia.”  So, I went out and found a photo of a Kirschbaum M1840 and looks like the AI assessment might be correct.  As I understand it, Knife Crafters was located in Philly, so seems like a logical match.  There’s a hand-written name on the sheath, but neither I nor AI could determine who it was.  Anyway, it’s a well made knife and it probably had some great stories to tell.    

Saw this pair of screw clipped WW2 Glider wings. They say the are "sterling", but I can't make out the Hallmark / Makers mark. There is only a partial pic of the mark. Any ideas?
