Few days ago I bought a denazified aluminium heer buckle for 9. The seller said that he picked it up from Emajõgi line, in Estonia. There doesn’t seem to be any markings on the buckle. So what do you guys think, is the buckle worth that money I paid ?
I was offered a copy of the 1936 Olympic bell. Apparently the person’s father received it in a trade at the end of the war. The story is that 16 copies were made in bronze, about 20cm tall, and given to important people.
I can not find anything telling me that those copies were ever produced.
The bell looks good, like a copy of the original, just smaller of course, with the swastikas filed out (which would make sense in a way, since it was kept in Germany).
I have the seen images of the porcelain bells, btw. Which were probably sold as souvenirs back then.
Since the Bochumer foundry has been bought up by Krupp a long time ago, all the documents are in their archives, but can’t be accessed.
Curious if anyone knows anything about this.
