Got a neat piece of history laying around somewhere? Into swords or other recreations? Well this is what this thread is about. Tell everyone a little about your collection, or something you have you just think is interesting.

I myself have an authentic Nazi Bayonet, at least I think it's a bayonet. Engraved is some text and the year "1939" on the side of the blade. The story behind how I came into possession of it is rather interesting to say the least, even if the details are sketchy. I'm always interested when I pick it up and have a look. My dad-o's uncle was the one to find it, he was at Normandy I believe, succeeding to live there, he continued to fight across Europe. Eventually, he winded up at the battle of the buldge where he came across the thing. Picked it up for whatever reason and went on his way. He gave the bayonet to my grandfather, who passed it down to his son, who passed it down to me.
