I have one of these paperweights and about nine months ago I posted a photo of it on this very forum. There are two possible explanations for its existence. The first is that is was a souvenir piece distributed to former SS troops at a postwar convention in the late forties, or more probably, the early fifties. The second explanation is that it is a total fantasy piece and may have been manufactured in England in the early fifties. It probably does have a value of around $50. Can you tell us where it is being listed for sale?
