    well during the clear out of my uncles flat I have come across a few strange items he picked up along the walk of life..

    i wish i had a digicam to hand tbh, i got sat infront of me a handmade petrol lighter, engraved with ASMARA 1944, assuming it was my uncles and he may have made it dring the war, being an RAF fitter it makes sence he would have the tools to hand to machine this wicked lighter,
    engraved with a hut and palm tree, i know he saw a lot of the world by his photo albums, I got to skank my m8’s cam for a few dyas to get a pic of this up !

    I remember that my dad, like 30 years ago, used to collect bajonnets, mostly WWI. Some wicked stuff, really weird designs and shapes. As a little boy, I was trying to imagine how it must have felt to see an attacker, running at you, with such a freaky bajonnet on his rifle, pointing at you…scary.
