This is a 1910-1920's era British scotch whiskey bottle. It was hand tooled and has an applied top. James Buchanan was a member of the House of Lords and apparently was good friends with King George V.

This button appears to have the letters “OUV” on the front and “WALKER No” and “KING STREET” on the back. This is from an early 19th century site in North Alabama. Research suggests it is an Oxford University Vols button, but that would be pretty hard to imagine being found here. Any...

Hey guys, Some time ago I found some bullets and cartridges on a beach cliff in central Israel, would be glad for any help in identifying their origins and stories and any information about them that could be interesting. A bit of context: From what I know there was a battle in the area in WW1...

Hello everyone - I recently acquired this sword guard and I confess swords aren’t my forte. Can anyone help me ID the sword this guard was attached to, and maybe a roundabout guess at when/by whom it would’ve been used? Thank you so much. https://m.imgur.com/a/wio3J The seller gave me...

Hey guys, Earlier today I was metal detecting near an old town site in Lower mainland British Columbia. Found a few things but the most interesting find was this flat button. Rung in as 80 on my detector. I can't figure out the lettering could stand for, if anyone has any information that would...

I have had these two cannons in my garden since moving in and was wondering if anyone knows any info about either of them. I know nothing of their history, one has the letters RGF and the year 1875 on the side and the numbers 1 30 on the top. The other one has no markings.

Can anyone ID this 50 inch (about 127 cm) old cannon found in Gibraltar so most probably British or Spanish.

This 38 inch (about 97 cm) cannon is found in Gibraltar so is most probably British or Spanish. Can anyone ID this?

Hi, I have had this helmet for some time now and don't really know for sure what it's origin is. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated. I am new and am having issues uploading pictures on here but if i[ATTACH=CONFIG]1226320

Good morning everyone. I was hoping someone on here could help me identify this bayonet I have. I have done a lot of research on this bayonet and haven't found any solid evidence on who made it, or when. The over all length is about 21 inches, the blade is just under 18 inches, the socket is 3...

Recently I have been getting into some Revolutionary War artifacts and one of these pieces is still stumping! Can anyone help me with this British Crown motif that I found recently. All of the other artifacts all date to the Rev War (and I have found almost 0 trash) so it is definitely from that...

Lakemonster and I hunted a small town elementary school on Saturday.....did fairly well. Just a few days before, Lakemonster found that 1914 German ring with the inscription (something like) "Germany fears nothing, but, God." Here is a link to a ring like he found: Objektdatenbank des...

In the 1800's...the British Military, Bermuda Hospital & Convict Hulk Ships were all near this site. Thousands of artifacts recovered, ten of thousands more. A 10 ounce silver mug was recovered this past summer.

I have a collection of British Sovereigns dating from 1899 to 1973 (obviously not the years they stopped making sovereigns!) All are 22k gold and are in excellent shape (close to uncirculated). I am trying to find values for them, but there are no places near me that deal with anything except...

I'm trying to find out some values for some old british 22k gold sovereigns. I have 15 loose sovereigns varying in date from 1899 to 1973, and 2 set in 9k gold cufflinks (coins were not damaged). All are in good shape and I'm trying to find out if their best value is to be sold for melt-down...
