Let's see how long it takes to make it into wikipeda.......

Be sure to take a look at this auction (well, the description, to be exact):

you'll never learn out in this hobby ...

Ok so they are not actually trying to pass this off as SS but I am sure several individuals here will be outraged. One could probably make one of these for less than starting bid!

I love that they use "resemble"... at least they're trying to be honest, though I think "suggest" would be a better word.

As for their assertion that it would be "great for a collection", I concur. The local collector I would recommend this piece to is called Independent Sanitation. They collect every Monday and Thursday morning.

Where to begin with this one?!?

The real joke is the price...i guess this came out of Mielke's roter Koffer.

The Eagle and "Made in Germany" totally give away that its a genuine DDR dagger.

people are actually bidding for it ... well, I guess, it would make for a nice letter opener for someone .... the seller does not actually state the size of it, so it might just be a letter opener anyhow ... Cheers, Torsten.

[Kartofelpreußer]

There IS a little ruler in the photos, so I guess it's full size. For what that's worth.

Other than that, the only thing right about the listing is "Post-WWII" in the title.

No collection is complete without this tunic

As with many of these messed up listings, there is a tiny kernel of truth to be found within... I quote:

"Is very rare!"

I would go so far as to say it is one of a kind...

[Klaus1989]

What was the tunic originally? I cannot even tell!

Love the description on this M56 helmet:

I PERSONALLY USED THIS WHENEVER I CAME HOME DRUNK AND THE X-WIFE TRIED TO PING ME WITH THE FRYING PAN. NO LUMPS! THIS THING IS SOLID METAL, WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE. *NO FRYING PAN WAS HURT DURNING THE POUNDING OF MY HEAD. THIS WILL FIT ANY DRUNK HUSBAND'S HEAD.
