I received the following the other day. Since I was addressed as "Skynyrd", my email must have been trolled from here, since this is the only forum I have ever used that nym.
Hi Skynyrd,
Season's greetings.
I have recently decided to sell my small collection of original time period WW2 German relics. I was unaware that it is against eBay's policy to auction such items so I have resorted to direct email as opposed to pawning them at the local Army/Navy surplus store.
I was wondering if you may be interested in the few items I have. Below is a short list and description. If you are interested in one or more of the items I have, email me back and I can send you photos and a more detailed description and we can go from there.
SMF - Luftwaffe Paratrooper Gravity Dagger
(This dagger was used by paratroopers, pilots and German Air Force personnel during WW2. This dagger is original and perfect working condition and the blade has not been sharpened or damaged.)
Eickhorn - SA Dagger with Rohm Dedication Blade
(This dagger is made Carl Eickhorn and bench marked (1) under the cross guard and Dist. mark is (S), the blade is great condition and has not been damaged or sharpened.
Eickhorn - NSKK Dagger w/ Hanger & Chain
(This dagger is made Carl Eickhorn and has an RZM number. It is not in the best condition, however it is original and complete.)
Luftwaffe Flak Badge in the original presentation box - Maker: Brehmer Markneu-Kirchen
Gold Wound Badge in the original presentation box
It is not huge collection, however I am not collecting anymore and have not been for some time. It can be an expensive hobby and I have few other responsibilities to contend to right now.
I am little shocked to see today's prices of items that I found years back at much more reasonable prices. Who knows if dealers actually get the prices they advertise in today's economy, but it seems like more or a rich man's sport then a hobby now.
If interested let me know and I can forward over photos and some background history on how I acquired each piece.
Thanks,
Brook
