jimmer Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Does anyone know what this might be worth? My father picked it up at the end of the war when he was policing civilians who were not to be carrying weapons. Interesting piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirWhite Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) That's wierd how Deutschland is spelt on the blade. LOoks like a "hidden" ss symbol? Piece of history there. Edited November 9, 2012 by SirWhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 That's wierd how Deutchland is spelt on the blade. LOoks like a "hidden" ss symbol? Piece of history there. And where are you seeing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirWhite Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 Between the t and c? its susposed to be an "s" but doesn't look like the "s" used earlier in the scribe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no hidden "SS" there, that's the way it's written. There are other branches that have the "SS" engraved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigugli Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) During the postwar occupation, a lot of bartering went on between Canadian soldiers and the German populace. A lot of nazi contraband, weapons, souvenirs made there way back to Canada. Medals, daggers and lugers were the most popular. One family member, a stamp collector, obtained vast stockpiles of nazi postage in return for various military items, like food, clothing, medicine. One Canadian MO brought back hundreds of original pieces of Hummel figurines in return for off duty medical care.

I treat it as well or better than my father did. Thanks for the input by everyone, I will contact the museum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
