I'm sure you military guys got some cool shit. I'll start with the stuff I got while in the Army in Iraq and Afghanistan....

I bought these from a Afghan for $20. The dates say 1852 on them. I'm not sure if they are worth some money.

Well let me say one big thing and that is THANK YOU for risking your life over seas to protect us back home.

I have some stuff from WWII from the germans, I have a knife and some misc medals my grandpa and great uncle got off some Germans.

That's at camp Moreell in Kuwait. Thats the AK I have seen and held too. He is a SEABEE you can see it on his left hand pocket.

My grandfather had a ceremonial "sepiku" dagger from Japan in WW2. For those of you that do not know the dagger was used by the owner to kill himself by stabbing himself in the abdomen and pulling the blade across from left to right I think when a dishonorable act was committed. I guess it was very ornate with jewels and gold on it and he was going to bring it back to the states after they left Japan. I guess his superior officer was jealous and wanted him to hand it over. I would post pics but its at the bottom of the Pacific right now.

That gold rifle isn't an AK it's a Dragunov Sniper Rifle you can tell by the longer barrel and receiver if you look just bellow his right arm you will see it looks like this.
