I wouldn't buy them, but try donating them to a museum,you shouldnt make money off of hitler

Probably the only people that would pay big bucks are people your grandfather wouldn't want to have them. There's a better idea.

Find a museum that would want them, and insist that they be displayed with information that they were captured by your grandfather. You can either loan them, or donate them. If you donate them, you may be able to declare some ridiculous value that will make a dent in your taxes for a year.

Due to the fact that E-bay exists now, the value of antiques and collectables has come down, since many hard to find items are easier to get now. Anyway, that blasted E-bay would be an excellent place to find the value of your flags. I see 'em on there quite often. Be sure to obtain some sort of documentation indicating they were your Grandfather's and where he got them. Really helps the value. Personally, I'd keep 'em. Your Grandfather did a very noble thing and those flags prove it.

That's apart of your grandfather's history and sacrifice- honoring him and his sacrifices by hocking his possessions like cheap souvenirs seems kind of wrong.

Point one: condition of the items.

Point two: Depends on what the flags were for, Party HQ, Military or Civil use.

Point three: originality of the items. fakes do exist.

Point four: they were not stolen, taken as a souvenir.

Do an on-line search for militaria websites, if original they can be worth a lot of money, check out the item thoroughly don't allow yourself to be ripped of by some unscrupulous dealer.

Donations to museums have been known to get sold later, dont trust that your items will be there forever with a little note saying "these items were donated by the - - - family."

Also Ebay do not allow Nazi items such as flags, medals, etc.. etc... and not all collectors are Neo-Nazi's., some have a genuine interest in World Military history.

With regards the "capture" of these flags, if your Grandfather was in the American Forces in WW2 they did no fighting in Berlin, it was taken by the Russians.

Try "Manions Online International" auctions. By the way, anything WW2 German is HIGHLY collectible today.

Even Soldbuch's & Wehrpass's command decent prices

There are several sites where Nazi memorabilia is sold. Approach with caution though as a lot offer reproductions. I believe you can sell them in the US, though anything with the swastika is illegal to sell in Germany. These are items I would think deserve auction if you can find a house who would. (Bad memories for too many) I personally, would hang on to them. You have a piece of history that is very rare as most items with the swastika were destroyed by order of the authorities. The "seig heil" salute is illegal in Germany. I know there were Christmas ornaments made with the swastika during the Nazi reign that are quite valuable, check the web sites, most of the things I have seen: Eva Braun's stationary, pieces of her silverware with the "butterfly" engraved the Eand inverted B. My dad managed to get a Luger out, but the flags are a find. Good historical relic. Hang on to them. I am going to check out some sights and reply later. Patti

why would you want to sell them? don't you want to save them out of respect to gramps?

Put 'em on Ebay (with a minimum value, so you don't get screwed -- just pick a number) and see what they bring. A real Nazi battle flag in "excellent" condition would be worth a pretty penny to a serious collector. Give it a shot. What have you got to lose?

Why not take them to the American Nazi Party's Headquarters and burn them both on their doorstep? Sounds like a plan to me since they are so keen on burning our flag!

well thats quite something, im not sure you can really put a value on that kind of thing quite something though. i'd want to keep them myself, my grandad managed to get a german newspaper about D-Day and how well they fended our boys off, and I think maybe if you can donate it to a local muesem then so many people can see it, and so can you

You wanna trade it for a Hitler Youth nose ring?

This guy is an expert in your area of interest. He will ask for a photo.
You need to get them appraised. Selling them on ebay and having them declared expert won't work without authentication.
Just trying to help you out.

Donating them to a museum might be better off, they are well preserved there and will serve as reminders of what our fathers faught for.

Most likely you could sell to some Neo Nazis organization, or some Neo Nazis on Ebay. I cant say for sure how much they are worth, it depends on how much of a nazis the person is. Maybe 40$ to 80$ and that is a rough Estimate.

As much as a collector is willing to pay.
