Hello. I am new to the site and a pretty green owner of a modest collection.

I want to start by saying that this is my first post to the site. I want to thank the owners and moderators for having me and accepting me.

I inherited a modest collection sixteen years ago from my brother. I went online and also did some reading from a book that he had to try to learn the very basics about the collection that I inherited. I have forgotten too much of what I learned and I don't know where the book has gotten to.

I will admit that I am hoping for some reeducation here and some slight education. A few years ago I discovered a few pieces that I didn't know my brother had and I have a few edged weapons that I have no idea what are.

BTW: I am 50 years old and I am from Georgia, USA.

Hi, best thing to do would be post pics

Welcome Ledhed. Yeap, it would be nice to see your collection (in special edged weapons).

Cheers,

Marc

Indeed, welcome.

Tell us what you collect and perhaps show a photo or two.

Hello all and thank you all.

I would probably be a little less than honest if I didn't admit that I still consider the collection to be my brother's even though I inherited it.

I definitely want to share photos of the collection with you all and get your opinion on value and relearn who the makers of these items are?

There are a total of seventeen items in the collection.

The collection consists of: 11 edged weapons/daggers/knives; a small pin of some kind; two flags (a party banner and a Kriegsmarine flag); and two metals that I believe to be a second place Iron Cross and a cased First Iron Cross, and what I believe to be SS collar tabs.

I openly admit that my ignorance of this collection is glaring. That is why I am hoping to learn some things here.

I am almost finished taking pictures of all of the items and I will definitely be keeping you all updated.

Thank you all so much.
