Nazi marked items?

[AKguy]

Geez guys. A gun is a tool. Would you replace a hammer because you buit a shelf with it? If I ever defended myself wiuth my gun I would like that gun even more for having done it's job

No joke. If I ever defend myself with one of my weapons, I'm putting it in a glass case with padding and passing down to my kids with the stipulation of "DON'T YOU DARE EVER SELL THIS THING! It saved my life once."

Hardware doesn't have political allegiance. You also have to differentiate NSDAP/NAZI the party, and the German soldier. It's like lumping every American soldier as an Obama supporter...wrong, they're doing as told.

Also, if anyone doesn't want to have a gun that was used to kill someone, better ditch your garands, springfields, and old 1911's. Cause I'm sure they killed a hell of a lot of people in WWII and Korea. And I'd be willing to take them off your hands at scrap price since they're "tainted" and ruined.

Just a question for everyone on here, no right or wrong answer just airing out my opinion sparked by a post I saw today.

Would you own anything that was Nazi related?

I agree there is a place in history for them, I think it is very interesting to see some of the Nazi marked items on these boards, but you couldn't pay me enough to actually own something with those marks on it.

I used to work in an Army Navy store back in Ohio and once or twice a year old women would come in with trunks to sell from their husbands who had passed and we would find Nazi patches, flags etc. They had historical value, and I'm sure some of the larger flags we saw had some good dollar value to them as well but we refused to purchase them.

So again, could you get past the atrocities and appreciate something like this as a part of history.

No for me.

To me there is no difference between owning those items and owning a Japanese made car... and this country is flooded with Toyotas and nissans

Uuuuhhhhhh...ok

So a nazi knuckle knife with pitting from rust that may well have been from the blood of a Jewish death camp victim and a swastika pommel is equivelent to a Nissan Altima. Yeah, that computes.

Maybe not a Nissan, but the Zeros that were flown into Pearl Harbor were Mitsubishi.

I got me a piece of one of them sum bishes. He thought crashing his plane into a battleship was a good idea.

Story behind it? I'm interested. I love studying WWII, it's something one can study their entire life and still not take in the vastness of.
