<2022-12-01T01:34:14.000Z> NailBomb: $750 Canafian and that was a friend price. I've been watching auctions in the US and flags this size go for over $1000 US easy, so I was pretty thankful.
<2022-12-01T01:57:14.000Z> elftummy: Oh yeah that's a great price for that size. My measurements are probably way off. I'll send a pic in a sec. I got mine from estate sales so they weren't nearly as expensive. My big one and small one were both 300 or 350 US
<2022-12-01T01:58:44.000Z> elftummy: Regular size one. I think it's actually about 3x6 now that I look at it. https://i.poastcdn.org/6256d534e921609941685b7b591e944b1947dfd7345a7d905a6cd28d60050f29.png
<2022-12-01T02:01:50.000Z> NailBomb: The prices are way cheaper in the US. Flags are much rarer here. It was mostly US troops in Berlin with only some British and Canadian, so a lot of the artifacts when your way. Same with medals. The US was guarding the open pit concentration camps and were cutting the medals off the POWs. 
<2022-12-01T02:02:11.000Z> NailBomb: If I could find a reliable retailer I would buy stuff from the US
<2022-12-01T02:02:45.000Z> elftummy: Here's full-size. Closer to 3x12 I think Just got them in one of my storage rooms.

<2022-12-01T02:03:14.000Z> NailBomb: I like that shape. Nice for the partial walls that divide rooms . I'm also looking for one of them
<2022-12-01T02:04:05.000Z> elftummy: I have a guy who knows a guy who goes around and buys relics from all around. If I run into a good deal I'll let you know. I'm up in AB & NS at least twice a year for business. 
<2022-12-01T02:05:48.000Z> NailBomb: For sure

<2022-12-01T02:06:38.000Z> NailBomb: I also have a bunch of old photos and postcards being mailed to me from a friend.
<2022-12-01T02:07:27.000Z> elftummy: Very cool. The only real stuff I have is the flag & banner. Trinkets are cool but I have never bought any 
<2022-12-01T02:08:52.000Z> elftummy: I did almost buy a Walther P38 but it was overpriced and they wouldn't let me pay cash
<2022-12-01T02:09:21.000Z> NailBomb: I may be able to get a small photo album with what I belive are never before seen photos of Hitler. It was a personal photo album of a guy who was in the Hitler youth. I'm still trying to get more info about it because the guy who has it right now doesn't know much of anything about that stuff 
<2022-12-01T02:09:58.000Z> elftummy: That would be very nice. Stuff like that really deserves to be preserved by people who know and care about it.
<2022-12-01T02:11:18.000Z> NailBomb: There are people in Canada who have admitted to buying this stuff at auctions and estate sales so they can destroy it. That's why I want a small collection
<2022-12-01T02:12:39.000Z> elftummy: That's very sad to hear. It's like how the Swedish Culture Minister a few years ago (a somalian woman) decided to destroy all Viking relics found
<2022-12-01T02:12:41.000Z> NailBomb: The guy who I got my flag from got the flag from a guy who's father died. He was going to burn the flag with some other stuff, but them my buddy talked him out of it and bought it.
<2022-12-01T02:15:25.000Z> elftummy: I wish we knew the whereabouts of the Blutfahne. Most likely destroyed in the aliled-bombing of Munich. 
<2022-12-01T02:17:06.000Z> NailBomb: WWII relics no matter what side is the inheritance of all of us. I don't know what the straw is that's going to break the camel's back, but those people need to pay until it hurts. I've read an autobiography of a Viking tank operator who was there from the beginning of its formation, and I've read autobiographies of other soldiers who were attached to SS Viking units and thos guys were some of the most honorable men on the field 
<2022-12-01T02:18:22.000Z> NailBomb: For sure if you see a decent deal let me know though. Thanks for the offer 
<2022-12-01T02:19:08.000Z> elftummy: Yes back then every side fought with honor, because it was brother against brother. There were exceptions of course. Plenty of war crimes from the allies.
