From your pics I feel comfortable saying the EK2 is a Deschler & Sohn. It looks spot on to me. I'd say in the 250 - 300$ range for it. Very good score! The patches also look good in the pics, so all in all I'd say you did really well on the lot.

Thanks for the confirmation. I appreciate all the help you've been on this thread.

Not trying to be funny or anything but I already make a semi annual donation to my local VFW. I have several friends there. I already know what everything is more or less. I was just posting close ups for confirmation of suspected authenticity.

Gotta agree with Ken. The EK looks good to me; the breast eagles OK I guess too.

Good score. Make some bucks.

Sorry to bring this post back up but I need to post some more photos. I can't figure out how to add a URL to post the photos on another website, so i'm gonna link them to this thread for ID purposes of a couple items.

=diggummup;2832735 Now I need to figure out my best outlet to get rid of this stuff.

Keep or sell the coins and US stuff. You should make out OK on the coins and the rest if you only paid 150. I would burn/trash the Nazi stuff or donate to a museum. Bad voodoo to profit off of it and keep it in circulation.
Though it is historical, there are too many sickos that get "inspired" by it. just MHO

That is the most asinine comment I have ever heard. You could say that about every era in history, in example: Burn all that Confederate stuff because..., Burn all that 1860s Indian War U.S. Army Cavalry crap because..., Burn all that 1st century Roman garbage because..., Burn all that 19th and 20th dynasty Egyptian filth because... Need I go on?

You created an account to resurrect a thread from this summer TO SAY THAT? No, it is not asinine!
I have some nazi era coins and I personally feel the same way. I would not be comfortable profiting off them so instead I decided to keep them in my collection as a reminder of a dark time in human history.

diggummup,
Not sure if this is helpful, but I am an American Historian--well, at least I have a M.S. in American History and taught several years at the college level before coming an ap. One suggestion is to contact one of the many Holocaust Museums. They often buy high quality historical items to show case. I would start with sending the pics to the National Holocaust Museum. You never know exactly what type of jewels you may have. They are experts and often willing to purchase items that would otherwise be lost to the public. It is not trying to profit from others misfortune, but a way to show the world the hardships. Keep in mind that historians do research, but they also write books . . . and they sell them for a price as well. Steven Spillberg Doubt all the actors in his historical movies worked for free.
Just a thought.

I sold the shoulder boards on eBay and I sold the breast eagles to a collector/dealer. The rest is in my collection of collections. I do not condone any of the atrocities committed by a psychopath, but it is history. Lest we forget.

 

[clovis97]

Can I ask what the shoulder boards brought on ebay, just out of curiosity?

And, what are the triangular patches? I've spent my life reading about WWII, and should know, but it is evading my memory right now.

 

[diggummup]

I only had 1 shoulder board, I sold it for 29.99. The triangle things are Gefreiter and Obergefreiter rank insignia chevrons. They sold for 12.99 each as well as the the little round black and white felt thing next to the iron cross, it's called a Waffen SS oberschutze rank pip. The eagle breast patches sold together to one guy as follows-

10- BeVo Enlisted Grey on Green Heer eagles $30.
1- BeVo Enlisted Grey on Black Panzer eagle $50 in "as is" condition,
1- BeVo Enlisted Grey on Field grey Heer cap eagle $20
1- Embroidered Enlisted Luftwaffe eagle $25.

Thanks, Dig.

Very cool stuff. It would have been hard for me to part with that lot.

There`s been a lot of dark times in human history. Should we shut it all away in hopes it will be forgotten?People don`t seem to mind making a profit off selling American Indian artifacts or items from the U.S. Army Cavalry that slaughtered those Native Americans. The American government commited a far worse crime against humanity than Hitler did and continue to persecute the Native American to this day. Guess where the Nazis came up with the idea on how to set up their concentration camps and how to deal with the Jews?They followed the U.S. Governments examples on dealing with the Native American. Do your history! And I didn`t create an account to "resurrect" a thread from this summer TO SAY THAT!

"Do your history"? I'm sure if I look it up that you would be correct. However, did I say ANYTHING about that? No, you brought it up in an attempt to make a smart-blank comment towards me.

Second, what point do you hope to prove by saying what you said? Your comments like "how to deal with the Jews" and "how to deal with the Native Americans" sure is a questionable thing to say.

Lastly, how can you quantify one crime against humanity as being worse than another? I am sure to different groups, one crime will always be the "worst". In reality, they are all atrocities that must never be forgotten and are equally egregious.

If I was going to make a "smart-blank" comment to you, I would have said something a little more derogatory towards your narrow minded mentality and your obvious need to get up on your soap box to make yourself feel better about yourself.

Second, the comments about " how to deal with the Jews" and "how to deal with the Native American" were meant to be considered as quotes. I figured you might be smart enough to relize that without me putting them as quotes.

Lastly, there were crimes against humanity that were worse than others. Complete genocide would be considered worse than an attempt at one and I guess I had better make this clear for you, I`m not talking about any particular instance.
