Question

we were cleaning out our garage today, we found this World War II n**i dagger that my grandmother's fiance (who died in a car accident) brought home when he was in WWII. how much do you think this would be worth, i know its not in very good condition, i have no plans to sell it. i just want to see what i could possibly get for it

Answer 1

That is awesome!

you should take it to a antique shop or maybe a shop that specialist in that stuff and see what its worth

that looks similar, I'm not too sure..

Idk, it should be worth over 500, don't sell it! Its cool!

ADD: you could get it mounted on a plaque, also. :)

and maybe put his name and his dates on it, or just leave it on a plaque, haha.

***EDIT: love is Animal- Of course I'm going to stalk her for that dagger! Duh!

I already know she has a border collie and that she has a sister.

I'm practically on her door step!

***EDIT

Emily! How could you betray me! We had a plan!

grrrrr team Dog Section is now destroyed.

Answer 2

Sweet!

I found a SS n**i officer hat in my old house's attic once!

It's kinda sad that i'm related to n***s! thats probably why im obsessed about n***s and hitler. I can learn about them all day! thats interesting!

I don't know how much you would get for it, but you should keep it! I kept the hat, and i sometimes try it on, and say seig heil! for fun. not in a bad way.!

Keep it! That thing is freaking badass!

Reaper: too late, im already on my way now! haha! I have my hat on! ES IST ZEIT FÜR RACHE!!!

J/K J/K. Sometimes i get too into myself..... :D

Doesn't everyone have a rotten apple in their family tree?

Answer 3

reaper, dont get to excited........

I think thats so cool that you were able to find that!

Its really cool.

I would say its worth anywhere from 250-500 bukeroos.

I think its a great idea to frame it and give it to your grandma, im sure she would appreciate it.

As i said reaper, dont go stalking her for the dagger!

ADD:

Emily - now, she doesnt need 2 stalkers =D

AND I AM not the ROTTEN apple on my family tree, but the weird, funny, sarcastic one =D

ADD:

Steph - your older bro would do that for you? I mean im sure if i were actually in danger my evil older 16 year old brother would protect me but...

Answer 4

I found similar, but not as good condition on ebay for over $120.

Your appears to be an officer's dagger, with ivory hilt, so is worth more.

It is featured on the cover of a magazine, devoted to military swords and daggers..so is likely quite valuable.

Hey! I just called my nephew, who is into collecting that stuff, and he said it would sell for about $700 to $900 ..and that it is an officer's dress dagger.

Answer 5

Yup...take it to 'Antiques roadshow' haha jk..

Take it to an Antique store/Shop and ask see if they would have a guess!!!

cool dagger

ADD: so you might frame it? good idea!!!
