    I saw your original post, nothing was changed so your fine.

    Lighter and firearm guesses can be seperate posts.

    Well, badwhale has identified the correct style of firearm and JFellows has named two correctly. I'll try and get a better photo up.

    Hint #1: 3 of the rifles were used in a war. Two in the same war.

    1. M1
    2. Italian Carcano
    3. Turkish Mauser

    The lighter I think is a Colibri Dark Knight High Alitiude Lighter.

    Congrats and a big thanks to Rich for identifying my lighter and finding me an ebay auction for one. So far only 2 of the 4 rifles have been identified. Here is another photo clue with equally crappy resolution from my cell phone camera.

    I was about to place a bid!

    Rich

    Funny enough I would find that with only 2 hours left to the auction, and you still won! Go figure.

    Congrats on your new lighter!

    Ok, hint time:

    Of the unidentified rifles, one came from a kit and the other was used by a country that was part of the Axis.
