WOW :tinysmile_grin_t: Now they are nice!!! Any chance you can post some photo's of the Kiska label from all sides? Cheers
 
are the following items either real or just copies...

AK101,

First off nice collection. Secondly I see a SOG Recon knife, is it a real one or from SOG Knives when they were making exact replicas? F-1's used in Vietnam during the early days, 1965 - 1967 were using a Koveshnikov fuses.
 
good stuff.

Nice stuff. I too like the kiska. Keep me in mind if you part with it someday. Curious, is that a complete fuze on the ceramic grenade? Are you able to remove the fuze from the grenade?

The ceramic grenade was expertly restored for a display about twenty years ago, it has not had any boom potential for well over six decades.

I wish the gentleman that did it was still with us, he was quite an artist.
 
Very jealous

Lovely collection I like most who have veiwed it are extremly jealous of some of your items so well done in obtaining them :congrats:
I especally like the sectioned items
I'm just having trouble seeing where the toy cap rocket fits in with the collection lol

Regards Daryl

Thanks for the kind words, as far as the cap "bomb" goes, it is just an "easter egg" I threw in when I took that pic some time ago.... :tinysmile_tongue_t:
 
Great stuff AK101, The VC grenades/MIN's give me a woody but not to diminish the signifigance of the whole lot.....Dano
 
i like the cap bomb the best!
i too would love to see scans of the kiska label from all sides. they are so difficult to find in legible condition but yours looks mint.
cheers, paul.
 
AK101'

Here are my pictures of each knife that were made by the same company that made the ones for SOG. Kinda hard to tell the difference I'd think? They were all made by the same company that made the original SOG knives.

By the way were did you get your two from?

The CISO "SOGs" are quite a bit different then the "SOG" company made ones. The spacers are a dead giveaway, and handle size as well.

Hold one of each in either hand to compare and you will never mistake them.
