I have a Model 1852 Naval Officer's Sword and the supplier's name is "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C".  I have seen many of these swords "for sale" on eBay, etc. but they indicate "N.S. Meyer, New York".  My investigation indicates that S. N. (1843 - 1910) was the father of N. S. (1870 - 1935).   "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C." probably was started in the late 1860's.  Most of these swords are incorrectly described as "Civil War" swords;  N. S. didn't start his business until 1906;  S. N. didn't emigrate from Germany until 1867.  Regardless, has anyone done research on swords marked "S.N. Meyer, Washington, D.C."..?  Since these are somewhat rare on the online sites...I am wondering if there has been a market value established.  I am in my 80's and ready to sell...!

Yes indeed!  In the late '50's I saved my high school lunch money to buy military cartridges.  Several times a year a friend and I went to the Kankakee gun show which featured two collector cartridge dealers.  Still have them all.  I bought a rare .22 box at the Baltimore show last Saturday.

This is off Utah Beach. The guys with arcs on their pots are from an Army Engineer Special Brigade. The guys with the greay bands are from a Navy Beach Battalion.   Tom

I think the mark on the cloth cover is the number "10." The line is added to show the bottom. Otherwise, it could be read "01." I have no idea what it means,   Tom

I want to follow up on my previous post.  I ended up getting the 25th Infantry/ Sangwoo lighter.  I will post some pictures once I receive it.    I didn't realize Sangwoo Tailors did quite a bit of work for the US military. I found a picture off the internet of a 1969 US Army officers mess dress.   Thank you yokota57 and Cobra 6 Actual for all the great information!

Isn't the ammo can an older type?

As a rule of thumb, if you will, any small arms ammunition that is WW2 or older is sought by collectors.   You wouldn't want to shoot it anyways due to the corrosive nature of the primers. Ammo dated after, I believe, 1954 can be shot and enjoyed with no worries. Although I would suggest a good cleaning after "feeding" any 1954 or newer ammo through a vintage firearm.

Here are three HEAVY metal bullets I saw yesterday, in the same shop I saw the M1948 brown combat boots. I didn't even ask for prices as it isn't my wheel house. I think 155mm on the left, but the one on the right is HUGE!!!  

Lets add this new Still of Clemons.

Absolutely! It's sort of a "meat and potatoes" thing in Militaria Collecting.
