Found this vintage Cologne called Platino at the thrift shop today nearly full. It has platinum flakes floating in it. A quirt of this and a shot of goldschlauger and I'll be feeling like the kind of the world.

 

just picked up the one on the left, .40 smith & wesson

 

I like! Just grabbed myself a Springfield XDS .45 the other day. Really nice to conceal. How does that .40 smith &wesson feel?

 

Are you the same guy who posted that video of bullion coins (and some cash) with guns in the background?

Frame capture:

 

Now I'm going to have to post a silver and pistol vanity shot first thing when I get home :lol:

 

Has SS policy on guns changed??? GP didn't want us to post about guns...Firesticks but not guns.

REgards Errol 43

 

Yeah, I believe no firearms to be discussed on this forum.

 

Was going through a few boxes in the shed and found this car badge
Did a bit of research and found out its 24kt gold plated but couldn't find much more info on it.

 

This little beauty arrived today
15 x 15 cm

 

Good pick up,spannermonkey.

Only year the saints won a grand final..by one point too!

 

That's a stunner, I'm a sucker for nice boxes. I always wanted an antique wooden traveling security chest with lots of hidden compartments. I saw one on American antiques road show once that had lockable compartments on each corner with screws so that when you were staying at an inn for the night you could screw the chest into the wooden floor to fasten it to the ground then lock the compartments so it couldn't be unscrewed. I don't know what you were supposed tell the inn keeper about the 4 freshly drilled holes in his floor boards though.

I saw another small musical box inlaid with baltic amber that had a hidden spring loaded wooden slat that had 4 little holes that fit a few sovereigns each.

Now I want to go and buy a box...

 

Got myself a new phone. Motorola Droid Turbo with a rather sexy ballistic nylon back.

hard to go wrong with the busse family of knives, their sr101 steel is top notch stuff

 

A new phone. Sony Xperia Z 2. I have had iPhones for the past 4 years and have moved back to android after the complete farce of the iOS8 and yosemite upgrades. Its going to be a steep learning curve, but apple have really dropped the ball lately. Time will tell how it goes.

 

So I collect antique Japanese swords and related items. Last year I was bidding on what is called a tsuba, the hand guard on the sword. They are often decorated with symbolic cut out shapes, inlays of various soft metals etc. The one I was bidding on, some well meaning meaning person many years ago spray painted it gold so there was some gentle cleaning and reconditioning that needed to be done. Anyway I think I bid $100 but was outbid in the last few minutes. Drat! Well I guess the guy who bought it cleaned it up and then offered it back on ebay nearly a year later for $150. No bites so he tried $100. I contacted him and offered a low ball $75. He took the offer! So I got it for $25 less than I was going to pay a year ago and it has already been partially restored for me! I'd say "Win!!!" Anyway back to work stacking silver and gold lol
