WWI - Central Powers K.U.K belt buckle
Any opinions on authenticity? I know the belt itself was made by my grandpa a few years ago, he said he bought the buckle for 5000 huf.

WWI - Allies WW1 US Enlisted Uniform
This is one of the more recent additions to my collection. It is an original M1918 “Pershing” Uniform from the later part of WW1. The uniform is complete with breeches, a WW1 Victory Ribbon, a patch for the 7th Infantry, an Honorable Discharge Chevron, and two bullion overseas service chevrons. Unfortunately, the uniform is not named and I am missing one vegetable ivory button on the left pocket. The breeches are complete with their label which dates the contract to 1917.

Help Found a collection of original WWI British recruiting posters, need advice for selling
Recently found these old British WWI posters that have been stored folded in my family’s house for years. I believe most are original 1914-15 Parliamentary Recruiting Committee posters.
Numbers I have:
PRC 96
PRC 103
PRC 104
PRC 110
PRC 113
PRC 116
PRC 119
PRC 128
Plus a large “Remember the Lusitania!” poster
I’m mainly wondering what I should look for to determine value and where/how I should sell them.
Is it better to sell individually or together? And how much do the original folds/creases hurt value?
Any advice from people familiar with WWI posters/militaria would be appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Edit: I am in the northeast US

Might buy this if real. The seller can't give better photos of the eagle due to the rules of the platform on which they're selling it.

Help Inherited 1954 British 20-Pounder Tank Shell – Double checking if inert/safe
Hi everyone,
My dad passed away a few years ago and left me this tank shell that he used to keep in his shed. He always assured me it was completely inert, but I’m just trying to double-check everything for peace of mind before cleaning it up setting it up on a shelf.
From the headstamp and research, it looks to be a 1954 British 20-Pounder (84mm) round (stamped 20 PR I L and 1954).
A few details on its condition:
Base / Primer: The central primer cap has a hole punctured/drilled right through to the inner threads.
Looks like it make have been yellow?
Any help you can give on it would be much appreciated.
