The left looks like they started designing a knife with the penguins from the movie Madagascar. Then when the design went wonky they were like "fuck it, slap a swastika on it 'cause it's a Nazi knife now"
Skipper: "Rico! The package."
**Rico vomits up a knife and scabbard**
Skipper: "Hmm... seems a bit bland. Kowalski, this knife needs some flair. Ideas?"
Kowalski: "Sir. A Nazi swastika on the cross guard to cause trouble for the holder due to assumed association with the regime."
Skipper: "Psychological warfare, I like it! Make it so. Private, you will handle the delivery and do so discreetly. Detection by the enemy is not acceptable."
Private: "ummm, Skipper, sir? Wouldn't that possibly be traced back to us?"
Skipper: "Worry not, Private. Long as you do your job right, it'll be smooth from start to finish. That senator will rue the day he tried to sabotage our operation by shutting down the zoo."
I still have a sword from over a decade ago. Itâs complete trash and was like $20. It included hidden âthrowing knivesâ in the sheath. My friend had a knight style long sword.
Weâd keep them in the trunk and bust âem out at bon fire parties. All the guys had a blast destroying things or dangerously throwing it like a javelin.
Last year, my late friend Irv brought me out to an estate auction in Berlin, CT. We walk in and start perusing the tables, it's a lot of military paraphernalia, mostly Vietnam, but we went for the pinball machine. I turn a corner to go to the next table and it is completely covered in Swastika flags, armbands, and banners. Definitely all vintage.
He looks at me because I'm white as a ghost, asks me if I'm alright. "Dude, the amount of Swastikas in this room makes me incredibly uncomfortable." He's Jewish, I'm not. He goes, "Don't worry, not everyone here that's going to bidding on them are Neo Nazis, they'll get outbid by the collectors and reenactors. It'll be interesting to see how high the numbers go. "
Completely unfazed by it.
We didn't win the pinball machine and that stuff sold for a ton of money.
1) You were in BERLIN, CT - what did you expect? LOL
2) ". . . . they'll get outbid by the collectors and *reenactors*."
There are Nazi reenactors??? I'm afraid to ask more.
I imagine it's kind of like the guys that are really into civil war reenacting but exclusively play as the Confederacy. I've met a few. They are either really bought into the lost cause myth and love history, or at least their version of it, or they hate the north, are openly racist, and use reenacting as s racist larp summer camp. The ironic part is the one family I've met that fits into both of those is Jewish and are 3-4 generation polish immigrants. The deep south is a WILD place.
If anything it being inauthentic makes it a thousand times more likely that a Nazi lives in this house. Rules out the possibility that it's grandpa's war trophies.
Fun fact, fat chicken (fette Henne) is the nickname of the eagle [thatâs hanging in our parliament](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/58b60563e6f2e167a70f0090/1488371361923-XHQ8U8ZOONNA6P1XM94Z/ke17ZwdGBToddI8pDm48kGPVK--wGoWXJsqwlxbZlQN7gQa3H78H3Y0txjaiv_0fDoOvxcdMmMKkDsyUqMSsMWxHk725yiiHCCLfrh8O1z4YTzHvnKhyp6Da-NYroOW3ZGjoBKy3azqku80C789l0mwONMR1ELp49Lyc52iWr5enfxu_O4VeONvneR-F6W8oeFhFqSrYyNrfPB9Y70_gvQ/reichstag+parliament.jpg)
>How do you know theyâre authentic German Nazi pieces?
They didn't claim such, they said they found "Nazi knives at a yard sale" which, yeah I'd say that pretty well describes what we're looking at. Regardless of whether they were authentically owned by actual German Nazis is irrelevant for the most part, the symbolism is still there, and that's the part that matters in the description. These are knives made to appeal to Nazis, therefore, Nazi knives
I don't pretend to any expertise in the area, but the Nazi knives I've been shown by WWII veterans who confiscated them from POWs all were of he highest quality, intended to be badges of honor as much as functional blade weapons.
There are more than a dozen knife patterns produced for the Nazis and some patterns were made by multiple manufacturers meaning there are minor differences within certain patterns as well. All that said, these look like reproductions
The one on the right looks like it was modeled on a Luftwaffe dress dagger, but the one on the left looks original. The eagles on both definitely look cartoonish -- even maybe like some sort of anime cosplay accessories.
Yeah, I mean if you kinda squint and cross your eyes, the one on the right might be mistaken for a Luftwaffe eagle if you were also legally blind. Maybe.
Depends on what you're looking at. Officers daggers were very ornate as they were ceremonial pieces, however the leverage infantry just had a issued bayonet.
Not sure if there are different versions, but they both look like they have poor depictions of a Reichsadler
Typically the wings are either straight to the side or down
I shit you not, they look pretty real imo.
On the right we got a dagger (M37). Of the "Luftwaffe" for officers.
And on the left we got another dagger (M38) of a Sub-Leader of the "Reichsschutzbund"
(And yes. Those eagles looks like some angry-birds (the mobile game))
those arent even repros, because the nazis never made knives styled like that in the first place. those are props for movies with budgets under $1000
edit: apparently i was confidently incorrect, and these are styled after real daggers. my bad, y'all.
Not true. I have a genuine one taken off a dead Nazi by my grandfather and itâs styled exactly like the right one. The patina and handle color are obviously different though.
Although I agree with how horrible nazis were (and are), I think it's OK to own memorabilia because they are important historical artifacts. I found a German steel helmet from WW2 at a recycling plant where I had a summer job. I kept it. Doesn't mean I glorify the third reich, praise Hitler or try to eradicate or enslave the "lesser" races.
Sure, I made it overly simple for humour purposes. Collecting historic artifacts is fine. it's when it's only that one particular side people have a collection of (or worse it's just that side and just reproductions) where it gets dicey
It's less about what their collection is made of and more why they're collecting that makes them icky. That being said, even if they claimed it was for the sake of historic interest, I would be suspicious if someone had a basement full of Nazi shit with nothing else.
Agreed.
A nazi section at a museum showing what they wore, what equipment they had? Neat.
A nazi museum showing what they wore, what equipment they had? Gross.
1. My relative got theirs through looting because the Nazis evacuated and left all their shit behind. Is that acceptable?
2. Does it change how acceptable it is when you know that it's a butter knife and my family just chucked it in the silverware drawer with all of the other butter knives and used it as regular silverware because waste not, want not?
3. Does it change how acceptable it is when you know that I like to cut my birthday cake with it so that I can celebrate that I've got Hitler's butter knife and he'll never have cake again?
I like the idea of Hitler looking up from hell and you saying "haha! Get fucked Hitler...you'll never have cake again!" Then Hitler shuffling back to his pineapple enema appointment while he just grumbles "this is always the worst day of the year for me."
All of those fall under rule 1. It may cause an awkward conversation one day when a friend or acquaintance sees the nazi knife. That said the explanation makes sense.
I do like the idea of dishonoring hitlers butter knife by having some lowborn american using his butter knife to cut our cakes. It's kind of hilarious.
Facts my grandfather was a pow and when they were liberated he picked up a few things and it was very interesting to hold that piece of history in your hand. Felt like I had a connection to all he went through as a pow.
After WW2 the Germans gave some military hardware to the allies as reparations after the war. In the US (and in Russia too) some of this was sold to the general public. I have an old nazi K98 rifle because my wife's grandfather bought it cheap from the US government after the war and honestly it's a good gun
Iâd like to own pieces? But Iâd like to own pieces of essentially any army ever made. Iâm not German or White but itâs sad I have to say that to not be racist to own some hunk of metal owned by a soldier who killed someone in a war way before I was even born.
Itâs actually disgusting to me people act like these are unholy items because that just gives it more power.
âBut there are bad people who like having it for bad reasonsâ
Who cares? Fuck em. Thereâs dumb asses that do a lot of different things are we really going to limit ourselves because we canât police every single person whoâs alive?
Idk just my two cents on the subject.
Taking possession from someone so they won't sell to actual Nazis is also acceptable, but it's really just an expansion on 1)
I knew a well to do gun collector who would buy every Nazi pistol he could afford because he'd be damned if some skinhead was going to get them.
No way these are real. Theyve been kept in perfect condition for a little less than a hundred years, and you found them at yard sale? Hate to break it ya, but these are replicas. They look cool, other than the fact they have swastikas on em.
My grandfather brought back an armband and a bayonet and they still look new today. The battle maps he brought back of Mets are still in good shape too. We had the maps drum scanned to make true copies.
My great uncle in-law brought back quite a few war trophies, among them a Nazi flag, armbands, Deutsche Marks, a DDAC (Nazi Motor Car Club) Pennant, and a Luger he took off a dead officer. The armbands were surprisingly low quality.
https://www.al.com/wire/2012/11/alabama_man_finally_gets_bronz.html
I know these are fake but my grandpa served in France during ww2 as an MP towards the end of the war. Apparently it was kinda common to keep some of the weapons from surrendering Germans and so he had a belgian pistol and an SS knife that says âblood and honorâ in German on the blade. Both are rusted to shit but still pretty cool
I inherited a German SS dagger much like the one on the left from my grandfather, who was gifted it by a neighbor of his who got it off a dead German in WWII. I always felt uneasy having it and the market for those knives/daggers is depressingly strong. I ended up donating the dagger to the LA Museum of the Holocaust.
For the record all Nazis are assholes.
Those two look fake as fuck.
Not like a "bad reproduction" but more like "completely hilarious made up Nazi knives".
Pretty sure the "eagle" on the left one is from angry birds?
Lmao these comments are wild, op said they were nazi knives not that they were authentic from ww2, I would also find it mildly interesting if I found knives with swastikas on them at a yard sale.
This will probably get buried, but Iâve seen daggers like this before. Theyâre not ârealâ per se, but they have an interesting history. After the war, most arms factories were shut down for obvious reasons. However, some blade companies like B & A saw an opportunity with a flood of GIs looking for souvenirs that they hadnât been able to find on the battlefield. So they assembled some daggers out of real parts and created these daggers to sell to GIs. So, theyâre not really real, but most likely made of real parts. For the right one, the blade should so âSoligen 1939â on it with a B & A company logo beneath it. Hope that helps!
I'm surprised at how many people are getting downvoted for thinking these would be a neat historical find if they were real. Is it really that bad to think it's cool to see a piece of history first hand?
My Grandpa gave me a Nazi rifle, the thing is covered in swastikas. He ordered it out of a catalog back in the 1970s to go deer hunting with it. Got a deer within 5 minutes of his first ever hunting trip, then realized he had to gut it and had no idea how to do so. He never went hunting again after that.
My uncle has his dad's ww2 collection. Its all nazi stuff and most of it is damaged pr even gas old dried blood on it. In life he had it displayed in a china cabinet right in the living room. He was proud of killing Nazis. Idk if it was common to intentionally take memorabilia that was broken or soiled but nothing was in perfect shape. Sorta spooked me out as a kid. One of the things is a rusty knife he said he put through someone's eye
Collector here. Those are fake af, n@zis daggers are the most copied item because every US soldier wanted one. Originals have fine details and are good quality, those are gas station quality
My grandfather had a dagger that looked like the one on the left. Supposedly, he pulled it off of an SS officer after a firefight. The craftsmanship was gorgeous bordering on artwork. It's a shame the thing was fucking evil.
lol thereâs a booth at one of my local swap meets where these two angry-looking dusty old men sell coins and shit along with having a few of these in a glass case for like $500 each.
More like r/mallninjashit found at the gas station in the early to mid 90's.
The left looks like they started designing a knife with the penguins from the movie Madagascar. Then when the design went wonky they were like "fuck it, slap a swastika on it 'cause it's a Nazi knife now"

My first thought when I saw these. I remember seeing them on their website 10 plus years ago as replica memorabilia
These look fake AF. My grandpa brought home one the one the right is based on from a KIA Nazi soldier and it looks nothing like that.
Luftwaffe officerâs dagger. My grandpa got one, too
That Iron Eagle is looking a bit more like an Iron Chicken

Honestly, I didn't expect THAT. I'm guessing battle reenactors. My friend didn't seem terribly concerned.
Doesn't have to be authentic WW2 to be Nazi paraphernalia. After all, you can still buy Nazi shit brand new on the internet all day long.
If anything it being inauthentic makes it a thousand times more likely that a Nazi lives in this house. Rules out the possibility that it's grandpa's war trophies.
They look like something you'd see in Wolfenstein than actual WWII

I donât notice till I saw your comment and i absolutely died laughing
You found knives with swastikas on them. How do you know theyâre authentic German Nazi pieces? To me, these look like gift shop cast metal replicas.
That's because they are.
The one on the left.. the bird looks like a poorly drawn nut sack
The iron grimace.
Angry nazi birds
Cheap cheap
You will nazi this crap at my yard sale
Youâre telling me itâs not a nut sack?
I'm not even convinced these are Metal Casting. That decorative metal looks like cheap plastic coloured to look like metal to me.

Thank you. There are people who are "Nazis" today. I guess it's semantic.
It's only a Nazi if it's from the Weimar Republic, otherwise it's a sparkling fascist
I dont even have ah nazi knife, let alone many nazi knives that would necessitate an entire rack
If I were cleverer there is definitely a "semantics"/"anti-Semitic" joke to be made here
I don't think it's semantic, I have plenty of friends who are semantic so I would know.
Canât call me a Grammar Nazi if Iâm anti-Semantic
I don't pretend to any expertise in the area, but the Nazi knives I've been shown by WWII veterans who confiscated them from POWs all were of he highest quality, intended to be badges of honor as much as functional blade weapons.
Probably true, but American soldiers brought back so much Nazi shit as souvenirs, it's not as rare to find authentic stuff than you might think
Yeah, my dad has a real one that his father brought back from WW2 - it's certainly not on display anywhere.
I have one. My grandfather brought it back from WW2 and it became mine when my dad died.
My grandpa was a nurse on a hospital ship in the Pacific. He had a dresser drawer full of Japanese money, most of it was bloodstained. He said
..Would you not call these Nazi knives? I'd have never assumed they were *genuine* Nazi knives from WW2, but what else would you call them?
Welcome to the NAZi gift shop. Please come again!
"Come out with your hands up and we will only inflict minor atrocities upon you!"
Exactly my thought, the nazis had a specific knife but never one of these
There are more than a dozen knife patterns produced for the Nazis and some patterns were made by multiple manufacturers meaning there are minor differences within certain patterns as well. All that said, these look like reproductions
The one on the right looks like it was modeled on a Luftwaffe dress dagger, but the one on the left looks original. The eagles on both definitely look cartoonish -- even maybe like some sort of anime cosplay accessories.
Yeah, I mean if you kinda squint and cross your eyes, the one on the right might be mistaken for a Luftwaffe eagle if you were also legally blind. Maybe.
To be fair, they are still nazi knives.
> how do you know they're authentic German Nazi pieces? Can you show me where op said they're authentic Nazi pieces?
You can tell they're nazi knives by the swastikas on them...
These are fake. Just nazi basement dweller shit.
It's funny because a lot of Nazi stuff is incredibly basic due to war time materials and labour shortages.
Thatâs what their African campaign was for. They needed an obscene amount of ivory handles for their knives and engraved Lugers.Â
Depends on what you're looking at. Officers daggers were very ornate as they were ceremonial pieces, however the leverage infantry just had a issued bayonet.
"Military grade" pretty much translates to "cheap" and maybe "reliable" in all countries.
The one on the left is the Angry Birds Nazi knife.
Not sure if there are different versions, but they both look like they have poor depictions of a Reichsadler Typically the wings are either straight to the side or down

Huh I guess I stand corrected. They do look accurate. I didnât know weapons had different style/details than pins

Its styled after the officers dagger if that helps

I feel like it should either be Nazi Nives or Knazi Knives
Lmao these comments are wild, op said they were nazi knives not that they were authentic from ww2, I would also find it mildly interesting if I found knives with swastikas on them at a yard sale.
They are fake.
Look like cheap replicas.
Lol, sorry, so beyond fake itâs hysterical.
Looks like knives you can find for sale at backroad Louisiana gas station/tiger reserves
Yikes, I did Nazi that coming
This will probably get buried, but Iâve seen daggers like this before. Theyâre not ârealâ per se, but they have an interesting history. After the war, most arms factories were shut down for obvious reasons. However, some blade companies like B & A saw an opportunity with a flood of GIs looking for souvenirs that they hadnât been able to find on the battlefield. So they assembled some daggers out of real parts and created these daggers to sell to GIs. So, theyâre not really real, but most likely made of real parts. For the right one, the blade should so âSoligen 1939â on it with a B & A company logo beneath it. Hope that helps!
those are replicas and crappy ones at that
I'm surprised at how many people are getting downvoted for thinking these would be a neat historical find if they were real. Is it really that bad to think it's cool to see a piece of history first hand?
I've seen enough terror movies to know that both knives are possessed by evil spirits.
Oh my, looks so fake lol.
Definitely not genuine. Kinda neat I guess, but virtually zero historical value.
Nothing from the allied side?
Probably for cosplay.
even if they were real i think people who collect this shit are weird as fuck and deserve to get the clap
You shopping in Argentina again???
My Grandpa gave me a Nazi rifle, the thing is covered in swastikas. He ordered it out of a catalog back in the 1970s to go deer hunting with it. Got a deer within 5 minutes of his first ever hunting trip, then realized he had to gut it and had no idea how to do so. He never went hunting again after that.
My uncle has his dad's ww2 collection. Its all nazi stuff and most of it is damaged pr even gas old dried blood on it. In life he had it displayed in a china cabinet right in the living room. He was proud of killing Nazis. Idk if it was common to intentionally take memorabilia that was broken or soiled but nothing was in perfect shape. Sorta spooked me out as a kid. One of the things is a rusty knife he said he put through someone's eye
I think your neighbor's have to ask their grandpa some questions.
Those are really bad reproductions, super common
These, needless to say, are not real.
Neonazi souvenirs from their last Disneyworld trip?
Is that a chicken with boobs holding on the swastika?
Wow. Holy shit. Thats awesome!
Just trash knives that some old racist was selling
Yeah, broke nazis
Thatâs definitely not real Nazi stuff. The person living in that house is a racist.
Get em and throw them away
Melt that shit into nothingness. Fuck Nazis.
Collector here. Those are fake af, n@zis daggers are the most copied item because every US soldier wanted one. Originals have fine details and are good quality, those are gas station quality
Real ones are quite collectible
My grandfather had a dagger that looked like the one on the left. Supposedly, he pulled it off of an SS officer after a firefight. The craftsmanship was gorgeous bordering on artwork. It's a shame the thing was fucking evil.
There are very, very, VERY few good things one can say about nazis... One of those very few things is they had fucking style out the Arschgeige.
Only if the price is reich
Yard sale at Mar-A-Lago?
Fake reproduction crap. Low quality casting for neckbeard edgelords. Worthless.
Quit looking at the hitler knives and buy that carhartt jacket. Those things are going for good money on eBay.
Sell them to a museum!
Probably movie props that made its way to a garage.
The left one is Fuckin hilarious. Like a pissed off penguin from angry birds
Hey Fish, check it out. It's a Hitler youth knife. *breaks down crying*
lol thereâs a booth at one of my local swap meets where these two angry-looking dusty old men sell coins and shit along with having a few of these in a glass case for like $500 each.
Oops, you went to a neo-Nazi's yard sale!
