I forgot about collaborators from my family, they all survived war and werent deported from Czechoslovakia for some reason, which is weird, because they took German citizenship in 1939 and served in Wehrmacht. (Najbor's photo is from 9th May 1943)

1899 10 roubles, gold. Got it from my grandma who got it from her aunt, who bought it during the interwar period for the purpose of melting it into a gold tooth.
Sorry for the poor image quality

Saw a old World War II knife with the nazi symbol on it in an antique shop. Looked really cool but i don't want to get labeled as a racist for getting it. What do?

i have a world map from 1937 printed by some Austrian printing company just prior to Anschluss. It's stashed somewhere in the house and i can't be bothered to look for it now.

I got bunch of stuff from my great grandpa that includes:

>An Nepalese Kukri that is at least made prior to WW2.
> Two large calIber shells and and two machine gun cartridges that apparently came off a fighter. Can't remember the caliber. Also from WW2.
>Shrapnel from a landmine. From WW2.
>Shrapnel from British artillery dating from WW1.
>Bunch of medals and shit from from both wars.

Buy it, tell people to fuck off with their close-mindedness if they call you racist, mention that it's idiotic to conflate owning an antique with having the same political views as the originator of said antique.

Thanks man. It's stupid that I should have to worry about it in the first place.

Roman cornelian signet stone don't know much about it would love to know more, don't know a date but 2-3rd century AD rings a bell?

Depicts a soldier with a spear and shield in one hand resting upright on the floor (spear is the height of the man and the shield more resembles a Zulu shield) and a small dagger pointed forward in the other hand.
It is also a sort of trapezoid shape with the larger side at the top with the face on and the smaller at the bottom, is I'm not too sure how it would fit into a ring


Ive seen a full ring on the internet with the same design so it wasnt used to identify a single person as was the main use of signet rings. Was it perhaps have been used to show authority/high rank in the roman army?

It was bought from an antiques shop in turkey, could it be byzantine?

Have alot of my great-grandfather's items from when he was a German paratrooper during WW2 this ring is probably my favorite of them. Have many postcards and pictures from family members during both the first and 2nd war. Literally boxes full. I'd take pictures but I'm not home and I'm not taking it all out. I'll post some stuff I have on my phone. He never really talked too much about the war or his political opinion. Died last March and my great grandmother has been giving me things as she finds them.

I have alot of stuff, but my mother has the journals of my great grandfather's brother who was in the German Navy during WW2. Those are extremely interesting to read. Obviously it's all a first hand account and they span the entire war. I never share this stuff with anyone because I don't need prying eyes to question why I have a large collection of National socialist items. I generally don't bring up my family's history as most people are ignorant.

I knew all but one of them. All of them lived to fairly old ages, and I still have two living great grandmothers. My great-grandfather still has a few brothers that are alive. Two in Germany and two in the United States

>The current year of our lord 2016 + 1
>Giving a hot fuck what others think

I have one of those Japanese good luck flags from WW2 and a woodblock print from the Meiji period depicting the Chinks getting their shit pushed in (pic similar to what I have). I also have an Australian helmet from WW2 but its really rusted.
