The gut who I was with yesterday's mentor was a real Indiana Jones sort,huge collector and trader in unusual antiquities. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
greg64 2,812 Posted September 28 Report Share Posted September 28 I’ve got a little flick book of Adolf making a speech probably a propaganda thing and when I showed it to a antique dealer years ago he said I should be wary of who I showed it to as some people would just rip it up 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You could have put them on your head and goosestepped about a bit doing lili marlene on the karaoke while pissed on schnapps.He also had Adolphs wine glass and has been to the wolfs Lair. I'll get a picture for you but tell your pal not to hold his breath for a deal on it though,lol... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The flag would probably have high value to collectors,no deals on that sort of thing in a bidding war. Shrunken heads are increasing in price. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDO.1 22,625 Posted October 10 Author Report Share Posted October 10 I have serious side burn envy with this chap. Who was he? I guess nobody knows, once important enough to warrant a full length photo to be framed and hung.....now there's not a person alive who knows his name. Make the most of every day because time passes (and let's bring back awesome sideburns) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
