Re: Nazi WWII items I found
I'm sure we can help, but definitely we need pics Upload them to a free account, such as Flicr or Photobucket, then include the IMG tagged URLs to each picture when you post.

Wish I could post the items at the moment, but I am unable to post pictures or links until after being a member for at least seven days.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
The few items I have are medals, 1 Nazi belt buckle, and three of the mini propaganda books. Also quite a bit of american badges, medals, and pictures from the man that owned these items.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
None of those look familiar. The medals I have are more of the smaller pins. One has the eagle with it's wings spread, head turned to the left, with RDB in the center and holding the swastika in it's talons. The back says "Ges Gesch" on the top meaning legally protected or something and the SS runes on the bottom of the back side.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
Well, I think I agree with these other guys, we do have a good deal of knowledge with this stuff, I also specialize in WW2 and if you could get pics up that would be great because there are probably hundreds of german medals ranging from $10-$10,000+ and belt buckles there are probably about 150 different types

I agree because with every section of the German Government back then they all looked "Military"

Yes the Pin does look like that, but this does not have that long pin shaft. It has a small one across the back.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
Not surprising. From what I can tell the Third Reich's economy was based on making uniforms, decorations, and flags. Oh, and sausages and beer too Seriously, the breadth and variety of Third Riech "trinkets" is near endless.
The style of the pin pictured by Mk1rceme is commonly called a "stick pin". The type you have is likely a traditional "lapel pin" with a single pin that is hinged on one side and hooks into post of some sort on the opposite side. The size is likely larger than the stick pin type, but I'm certainly no expert on this particular item.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
I can tell you what the one thing is that I would be interesting in buying. The pin with a swasticka and is colored red and white in a square pattern is a hitler youth membership pin (Unfortunately you do not have a pair) If you could send me more pictures that would be great-I would like pictures of the back and a closer up picture- to be certain it is real-if it's real I'll talk cash

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
These are the best pictures I can get. I shined a flashlight on it for it to show up better looks like the back says M1/133 or 139 and another symbol on the other side.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
Some obscure items! HJ pin and HJ belt buckle are the only two things I recognize right off.
I think this one is Nazi Dutch or some sort:
The little black symbol towards the point of the pennant is, at least, what the NSB (Dutch Nazi Party) used.
This star looks Communist (common symbol). I can't think of a Nazi related use of this symbol.
First two pictures above appear to be Belgian of some sort.
Sorry, that's all I got

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
Very nice belt buckle. I wish I had money to get a few of those for a movie I hope to make in the spring. Guess I can make a mold of a copy and make some. But I can tell that the third pin looks like an Italian pin some units had on the front of their hats.
Edit: now looking at it it looks like it says 1914, so it could also be a commemorative pin from the fascist party, either way its Italian.

Re: Nazi WWII items I found
younggun, I seen those pins sale online for about $75, but doesn't specify that price is for single or for a pair. Make me an offer and we can go from there. If you prefer you can email PM me. Also I just realized I have another belt buckle also that I will post pics of too and alot of American WWII pictures badges, pins, and bullets.
