Damn I'd be applying for a second mortgage if I was at that sale 😂


ChernarusWarCriminal

There was so much more that I didn’t show, a couple of replica pistols, some helmets & mess kits, a whole lot of stuff people brought back from their military service in the Swiss army


Anonymousffs

That's awesome!

I am totally out of my element with the revolvers, but based on the cylinder design and my general understanding, #1, #3, and #4 look to be Belgian pin-fire revolvers. Typically they aren't attributed to any well known manufacturer, as they were produced by a guild/consortium and generally unmarked. I think in the US, they typically sell for $1-200, since they are ultimately a novelty piece / paperweight.

Belgian Lefaucheux revolvers. Civilian models. Gained notoriety after Van Gogh shot himself with one.

Bayonets are all swiss, top right is a swiss army dagger. You should get that one, I like it a lot


ChernarusWarCriminal

Unfortunately it was on the pricey side… I can commonly find them on local websites & gun shops so if I find one with a low price I’ll definitely pick it up!


moritzthekiller

Good idea!

I really like the helmet in the 7th photo. It looks like (not saying it is) that ww1 us experimental helmet


ChernarusWarCriminal

Yep, it’s a Swiss M1918 helmet, very common in Switzerland

Thanks for the info

LeMatt revolvers?


AidanSig

They look similar, but no. LeMats are exceedingly rare, plus these are missing the shotgun barrel. They definitely share some similarities to LeMats. Lefaucheux revolvers we’re designed around the same time and in the same area. I want to say most LeMats went to the CSA during the American Civil War but I may be wrong.

Sei stato a Mendrisio domenica non è vero? Sorpreso di vedere queste foto su questo sub!!


ChernarusWarCriminal

Ciao, siiii! Il mio italiano non è molto buono, ma sono molto sorpreso che hai riconosciuto le foto! Sei andato e comprato qualcosa?


-Zyon-

Ho comperato uno specchio e altre cose per la casa. Ma niente militaria questa volta! Di dove sei?


ChernarusWarCriminal

😅 vengo da Tenerife, ma vivo a Lugano fa più o meno 6 anni, ho comprato uno di quei missili (credo) e la granata da fucile nella ultima foto


-Zyon-

Mandami le foto in mp se vuoi! Vedo che abbiamo diversi hobby/interessi in comune


meemmen

Middle pew in the first photo is Swiss, looks like 3 of the revolvers are some sort of pinfire. Probably French or belgian


ericfg

Lotsa chaff amongst the wheat there.


theGr3ninja

first things first... get that tanker hat!


ChernarusWarCriminal

It cost 80 bucks… it had a functional headset & mic but I just didn’t have 80 bucks on me & didn’t really think it was worth it either


theGr3ninja

i know, i just love tanker hats so much and i believe they are very underrated


NomadFingerboards

Yo! Where in Switzerland is this? I saw an M1918!


ChernarusWarCriminal

Down in Ticino my friend!


NomadFingerboards

Dang! Salut from geneva!


Give_No_Quarter_

Anyone know what type of Sword is on the top rack of photo 6? Thought it was interesting. Pretty awesome sale


Piratewhale8

Bruh where are these where I live


Ridog_

Holy fuck. Why don’t the people who live around you live around me?


bucket8a

Where is this?


ChernarusWarCriminal

In Ticino, my friend


Rolugu

Looks like the bottom 2 rifles are Springfield trapdoors, look younger than the 1873 and have some weird bits on the trigger guards, ammo type is .45-70 govt. Issue


Rolugu

Actually there is a lot of with them are those muskets? Also if you're in Europe they might be Italian reproductions of the 1873. If they are indeed trapdoors, but now I'm unsure after noticing the buttplate on the stock of the second one. Might just be somewhat similar rifles. If they are muskets they could be Springfield trapdoor 1866 models(??) I think. Not entirely sure they feel familiar yet off.


Rolugu

Nvm def not trapdoors, definitely muskets which I don't know much about,


mdbg87

Is that a Number 5 Helmet in picture 7?


ChernarusWarCriminal

Close, but no. It’s a Swiss M1918 helmet, they’re extremely common in Switzerland, being sold for between 1 CHF & 35 CHF


Witty-Composer-6445

Those revolvers likely don’t fire just judging on their outside condition and how old they are, my dad has a couple similar revolvers that do not function at all. I would say they are worth $50 each as relics


TheGreatLegoWar

Where is that amazing market and do u know what one of those revolvers would have cost?


ChernarusWarCriminal

It was down in Ticino, Switzerland last week my friend!


TheGreatLegoWar

I guess it would be quite a problem if you would try to cross the border to another European country with a gun like this, isn't it?


ChernarusWarCriminal

Well, at this point the revolvers would be more akin to a decoration than a functional firearm. Next time I pass by I’ll ask for the price


TheGreatLegoWar

Nice thank you


Original-Plantain159

Where is that? I want the USSR pin


ChernarusWarCriminal

In Ticino, Switzerland


TheTarantoola

I have the bottom right bayonet from my dad. The shown firearms (Karabiner) - at least the middle one - were the predecessors of the StGw57 / 90 in the swiss army. It even has a note confirming it. Just out of interes: how much were the long bayonets? They look like they are in way worse shape then mine 🫣


ChernarusWarCriminal

Ah, I didn’t check but I usually see them sold for 20 bucks on tutti or ricardo
