Nazi memorabilia

[stdreb27]

What's with the nazi memorabilia at gun shows? I can get the booth with WWII memorabilia. But I was at saxet today and one of the ffl vendors had a big 24x24 banner hanging on the inside of the table, where he was sitting. Just seemed odd.

Was it the guy who shows off his MG42, MP-40's and STG-44's?

don't care for Nazi stuff, but i'd like to have an SS marked Mauser someday.

Back in the 80's a friend took me to a gun show in Amityville, NY at an America Legion Hall after walking around for an hour i asked him so where is the GUN SHOW? it was all WWII memorabilia .

I had a friend who collected nazi stuff

I don't get it either.
Maybe some folks like having something connected with such notorious history?
Don't own anything Nazi marked tho I do see the tech advances in their firearm developments like the Stg-44, MG-42, and FG-42.

It's historical and folks like to collect it, just like Garands, Mosins, Arisakas and many other military-related items...

Military memorabilia is a huge market, especially over in Europe. I used to attend shows in Belgium that were larger than any of the gun shows we have here in Texas.

That guy has some cool stuff. He gets much of it from the estates of vets, and some great deals from what he's told us...

Different people collect for different reasons.
