The link below is where all the items are listed. My wife says try to sell it all but I think it's cool to keep. I just don't know. What do you think?

All the stuff I'm asking about is listed with WW2 in front of the name :) I did sell the German Sword for $600.00 I had a friend that wanted it and gave him a deal.

I know what it says but was that for the times back then or does it still hold true to this day? You're just trying to be a prankster right? **LOL** Ha Ha.

There's no way I would sell any of that stuff if I had it. Just way too cool to part with.

They sell from 800 to 1200 online. I did alot of research on that thing. It's a German Police Officers sword.

As for the pepper plants yes, I'm growing Habaneros (White and Golden) and Anaheims ;) Not pot in my house........... that's my bro, not me! I'm a Bud Light drinker. Any other time I take any other drug is when my head's hurting so bad, I take Excedrin followed by a beer **LOL**

Were you in the war or did you just collect this stuff? Was your dad in the war? Probably worth a bit to some people.

It was my wife's Grandfathers. She wants to get rid of most of it, I don't. I only sold the sword because it was a close friend and we both knew what they went for price wise.

I used to be stationed with him while I was at Fort Meade, Maryland. It looks like he is still in Maryland. He is a World War II fanatic. All he does is buy and sell WWII related stuff on eBay (almost 1000 rated). He would probably be able to lead you in the right direction or might be interested in what you have.

i dunno, but i see those shows on tv on antique stuff that are worth so much money. Stuff that i would think is trash at first glance. One time they were looking at an old frayed ROPE. It was worth like $10k or something because it was from some major historical period. weird what people would pay for old stuff.

That stuff is cool, and I would personally keep it unless someone gave me a really good price. I guess since the wife wants it out of the house though, look at it as an opportunity to make schrilla.

There's no way in hell I'd sell that. If all those articles are genuine your wife has no idea it's real worth.

That's some nice stuff. That's a very good start to having a really nice collection. I wouldn't sell that stuff unless I really needed money.

Those two questions are not mutually exclusive. Regardless of how much it is worth, I would keep it. Especially the sword, which you already sold.

I did'nt get ripped on the sword Pilgrim. I did my research. Perhaps I could have gotten $100,-$200. more but as I said, I sold to a friend.
