Adolf Hitler Standard

[BobI]

Sorry to carry this on but uninformed responses that are also insulting I do take personally. FYI I have sold many items for the museum and not taken the 25% commission they have offered me. So, where is your motive of my financial gain? With the economy and so many museums closing their doors these days they are lucky I am helping them!
From this and your past paragraphs, please respond on facts and not fabricated stories like the human head collections.

What troubles me is the illegal selling of donated items that should stay in the museums they were donated to,( as the veterans intended)......regardless, if a donation and then is sold to private entities, I wouldn't want anything sold out the back door from any museum without the museum endorcing thedeal publicly....if you're getting a title in the museum, I hope your position isn't used to sell museum donated third reich items the public they are not aware is being sold privately to collectors for pure profit.... Just a thought, as the theft of vet donated items to museums , donated in good faith to be kept forever... is becoming a conflict of interest , and some people are being prosecuted for just that kind of five fingered resale. Maybe you can elaborate how this would be considered legal or even professional by the museum you are attaching yourself to,...on your part , as this thread makes one feel your attachment to the museum is purely for monetary gains ? Can you elaborate....

Legally items have to be kept for 2 or three years so this is not an illegal sale. If a museum buys an item they can sell it instantly. Secondly, thinking all museums greatly care for all donations is extremely naive on your part.
Thirdly, people who know me know I am a collector first and dealer second. You should get your facts straigh before you make false acqusations. There was another thread you were extremely wrong on your statements. Oh, your nonsense on the Japanese Sword thread and something about heads. Keep your facts straight and please add something constructive. Lastly, in this day and age many museums would be closed if they did not substitute their revenues by the sale of some of their unusable "stuff".

And some museums are not necessarily enamored with Third Reich items and subsequently will not display such pieces......This too will cause them to sell off these items, in an attempt to purchase things they do like and will display....Bodes

If you look at the location of the member, this might explain his moral reasoning for his actions.

Does anyone have a picture they could post of the standard in the 45th museum in OKC?

Thanks,

To Juoneen: You must realize that the museum rules commonly adhered to in the U.S. as far as how donated items are handled and adding to or disposing of collections are not by any means universal. In many countries it is perfectly acceptable for museums to sell items from their collections in order to upgrade collections or simply to be able to keep the doors open.
