WW2 SOE agents had to hide things ANYWHERE! INCLUDING... BUT they have now been fully STERILISED
2 different capsules for hiding messages. One for a female agent, to be used like a tampon. The other for a male agent to be put up ones behind! Carrying secret messages was dangerous stuff, you were risking your life and your families lives. So ingenious ways were developed to hide important messages from the enemy.

    May I point out that the Royal Marines badge (on the right) is a collar badge and not a cap, or beret, badge. I agree with you that the wartime plastic badges are attractive items. With plastic, it is possible to achieve a much deeper level of dimensional detail than it is with metal badges. Needless to say, the retail price of the plastic badges is creeping upwards!

But look at how many people enjoy the medival times, there are literally people fighting in armor at competitive levels because they like the historical aspect so much and that's not just 'old people' either. Most people look at ww2 tho no doubt. 😂

    Neither for tire slashing nor assassination. The former would be silly and the latter would be a death wish. It's for cutting yourself free if you are captured and your hands bound with rope. The penny was chosen in the hope it wouldn't be instantly confiscated during the initial frisking, thus hopefully enabling the captive to fish out the coin and cut himself free if left unsupervised long enough (in a locked room overnight, for example, or in the back of a truck). I have seen OSS belt buckles, eyeglass frames, etc. that are designed with the same idea in mind.

    Interesting because I have a vintage brass Saint Christopher medallion or watch fob by a company called Hickok that is made exactly like that. If you google "Hickok Saint Christopher watch fob" (or medallion) you'll see many examples of these in brass, silver and even gold. I 'think' these Hickok fobs are pre-war so they may have got the idea from this American company. Mine is on my key chain and I've found it useful many times. I believe the intent with the Hickok blades were simply to cut cigars.

But anything is truly possible at war time.

    I don't know about the assassination aspect (for a slashing blade it's just not long enough and it looks like it has no real stabbing capabilities in special through clothing). but as a hidden pocket knife they might not notice while you have been captured it could a very helpful tool.

      Not long enough for a slashing blade? I’m not sure I would like THAT whipped across my throat/neck. How long is a Stanley blade? Admittedly this penny weapon is not so efficient, but in the right hands and with technique. Pretty effective I would think.
