Newbie question

Since I'm new to this forum and am sensitive to forums guidelines....is there a separate forum for militaria for sale or trade?

 

I sure don't see any. Give it a shot. Most they can do is delete it.

In that case, here goes.......I have an a couple items my Dad brought back that I'm willing to free up to the universe. Nothing too rare I don't think: an NSDAP flag and a book on Hitler with pasted in photos.

 

do you have picS?

 

I'll put up some pics by Friday and see what everyone thinks.

 

The flag has some light soil in places and book binding is NOT in good condition.

 

what are the dimensions of the flag please ? you do not want to keep these historical items because ?


Erich ~ let's ride !

 

The flag approximately 30X50 and I would say is in very good condition. I can get exact dimensions and send more pictures of both if anyone is interested.

My Dad served as a Captain with the 7th Armored and these are a couple things he brought back. I still have his .45 and other things. They have been in a dresser or closet since 1948 when he returned home.
My interests are in collecting military firearms (from Civil War to WW2) focusing on US arms. Since I don't have the room to display everything I own I thought I would free them up to a collector who could appropriately take care of them.
I'm not out to get rich but I don't want to be taken advantage of either as a dealer would only offer bottom dollar. I could ship anywhere in the US.

 

understood, and thanks for the size of the flag, let me think aobut this

Off topic story about the flag I'll never forget. When I was very young in the late 50s we lived in a small town in NE. I was just home from school and I was heading outside with the flag. My Dad stopped me and demanded what I was doing. I told him I was going to hang it from our front porch.........it was FLAG DAY.
Should have heard his words, never did that again either. LOL

 

eeeeeeeeeeeks ! strange but familiar I have a DAF standard that I did show on the militaria thread earlier, and as a young wipper snapper thought about the same thing. that got shut down immediately and glad it did

I still have one of these that I bought back in 1973/74. I used to have one that was about 15 feet long but I let that one go. But I still have the smaller banner. It doesn't fit my collection, per se, but I'll hold onto it. I also have one of those books, plus one of the volumes, including the paper jacket, of the 1936 Berlin Olympics. Once again... just will hold onto them. Then I have a 1941 Berlin Telephone Book... need to look anybody up? Number please!
