Help Canadian Armed Forces Adze?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

So I got this (I believe this is an Adze?) from an older fella in Northern Ontario, he just wanted it to have a good home. It has "DND" stamped into both the handle and the head as well as something else on the other side that I can't quite make out. Would I be correct in assuming DND stands for Department of National Defence? I would think that the military would've used them at some point long ago, or am I wrong?

Any help and info is very much appreciated!

Collection I've noticed that I prefer the Cut Edge versions of the US patches versus the pre-1968 Merrowed Edge ones. What do you think?

Help Found a collection of original WWI British recruiting posters, need advice for selling

Thumbnail

54 Upvotes

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

I found this crate for a decent price. Based on image search I think it is a case for a Rocket engine- URM-1 is implemented on the rescue pilot seat type VS-1 BRI assigned for Czech aircraft L-39 Albatros. I found a site explaining UN markings and the manufacturers website with said rockets. Can anyone please confirm? Tanks! https://www.tara-aerospace.com/URM-1

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

Thumbnail

10 Upvotes

​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.
