By 1950 there were already outfits selling 'Nazi War Trophies'. These items appeared to be 100% original to the WW2 period. But they were reproduced by those that had the connections in Germany. The biggest customers of these 'trophies'!?? U.S. veterans of course..
In fact by the time Major Atwood went to Germany in 1960 there were others there at least 10 years before makeing their orders for remanufactured daggers, badges/medals, belt buckles etc.... , G.
