It's a little known fact that Hitler gave one identical to this to Mussolini along with a Snoop Dog CD, that when played backwards contained the plans for the invaision of Ethiopia.


I think it's time for him to put new tin foil in his hat. The Mother ship awaits...

This stuff just continues to get worse as the values skyrocket.
I was at the Max show and a dealer pointed out another dealer who offered to get him any rare Nazi garb he wanted for x thousand dollars and for x or so more, he would get all the "provenance" he wanted-certificates, letters from "family" etc.
I just want a nice firearm, don't want to know who owned it, don't care.

What a coincidence. I have General Reinhard Gehlen frozen in carbonite in my basement.

The really sad thing is that some National Enquirer reading fool will no doubt buy it.
