World War Two German Memorabilia/Militaria

Featured Replies

I've recently gone through some of my dad's stuff from the war, and came across a small lot of German items, i.e., Nazi pins, military medals(see attached), etc., most of which--naturally--have swastikas on them.

 

I found out the hard way that those politically-correct nitwits at eBAY don't allow ANYTHING with a swastika on their bandwidth, so my question to anyone in the know is: Where on the internet can one attempt to sell items such as these, without running afoul of regulations, or at the least, not be accused of supplying today's Neo-Nazis with goodies?

 

The last few gun shows I've been to have had several dealers, but I've done at least a little due diligence on these items and found their buy offers to be on a par with the a** clowns from "American Pickers".

 

Any information would be greatly appreciated, as always.

 

Thanks,

Scott in Bayonne

Thanks fellas!

I know times are rough these days with the whole economical situation and I know it is not any of my business but I have to ask why you would want to sell these items? In my opinion items such as these should be passed down through anyones family. Like said the situation in which is causing you to sell is none of my business but I had to ask.

let me know what you have and prices , i have a small collection of German stuff

I am a pretty big WW2 German collector. I have everything from medals,guns and original vehicles. Please send me pics of what you have and maybe I will be interested in some of it.

I would never sell my father's military decorations, uniforms or any other items he earned in the service of his country, but he had no sentimentality one way or the other regarding these small "spoils of war". Before he passed I even drove him down to Englishtown to talk to a couple of dealers about selling. This was in the early 90's and he basically said "...at those rates (offers) I'll hold onto 'em". Now that he's been gone a few years and I have no one to pass them down to I'm looking to sell.

I also would be interested in some of those items for my collection, please private message me what you have and prices.

Thanks for the interest. Please give me until sometime tomorrow to get decent pics of all and for me to PM info out to you.

maybe you could do some sort of auction here

 

Bob: I don't think the mods would appreciate that, but maybe I'll throw a couple of things up on the NJGF-List section tomorrow.

 

Thanks,

Scott

Bring them to a re-enactment, sell directly to some german re-enactors or to a vendor that specializes in WWII german stuff

Um, I don't know who told you eBay won't allow WWII German items, but there are plenty of them on there.. Coins, medals, ribbons, armbands etc

the one pictured is an infantry combat badge...given to units that had actively engaged in combat. I would love to get one of those and pay a good $ for it
