PREPARE TO NOT BELIEVE!!!! I CANNOT!!!!

[DannyBrooks]

Holy Freaking COW!!!!!!!! When I am not writing and illustrating books or making records I dabble in real estate and in this market it is the perfect time to invest. So.....this morning I arrive at my latest conquest to give a once over as the tennant moved out on Sunday. I expected to see it in disarray...and it is, but anyway, as I looked throughout the house and took 'before' photos I rummaged through some old boxes of old news papers about NIXON and ELVIS etc. ....which I can post if you like. Well let me just preface that the house was previously owned by a lawyer and pilot....and quite a pack rat as well....so, anyway, as I was looking into a crawl space above the garage to check insulation and drywall, I saw a knife/dagger item and picked up...I assumed it was a toy, but it was very heavy....then I thought ....'Letter opener?'.....then I saw something that blew my mind....a SWASTIKA on it....The moment I got back to my house I began researching the item to see if it was a replica, but soon discovered that it WAS REAL and the handle color made it even more rare...it is what is known as a German "Nazi" Luftwaffe (Air Force) Officer's Dagger 2nd Model.......behold.

Beautiful dagger and the Luftwaffe was the air branch of the Third Reich which is even more a plus in my book as there weren't as many of those guys as there was infantry..

As a casual collector now, this site (a forum) is a number one place for collectors of Nazi militaria.

Most people just cover the swastika on Ebay and sell to their hearts content and Ebay are fine with that - I wouldn't be selling it though as its a great item.

Everything about it looks right - definitely appears original to me
