My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Hello,
Yes, the pin is for U-boat workers and the example that started this thread is one that I would not be happy with at all.
Regards,
Jody

seen it in a pic on a person.
Uh, guys... this pin came from a non-combat family member who maintained heavy machinery. The pin stayed in the family this whole time - I just didn't know what exactly it meant as the whole subject never really interested me. At this point, I'm busy figuring out what to throw away and what to sell.
All I know is that he was forced to walk on huge sprockets, many meters wide and grease them as they turned, without slipping and falling to his bloody death. This apparently happened quite a lot to people like him.
The same one currently on WAF Estand at $250.

Forgive me if I may add a "Few comments".. Provenance outweighs all "Stories" My Dads cousin sister Betty "Said" etc; etc; When I was younger and attended shows I would bring a paper sack and buy the least expensive K98 Bayo I could find and put it in the bag and go to booths and act like the "Sap" who was selling "Grandpa's" relic.. I did this most of the day over and over, until I made $20-30.00 more than I went with then made a purchase I wanted...We all want to believe stories and when I first became a member I felt that some were harsh as to say up front "Skip the C**P", but now I understand.. This is in no means of reflection of Collects item... But authenticity sometimes is not what were led to belive and can be a let down or a great find !!....Just my two cents...G
Touche..
Collects, I am merely a member of many that only try to help others in the collecting field of "War Relics".. I hope I did not offend you personally as that was not my intent.. I look forward to many new posts by you in the future and look forward to such ...G
Gwar, I'm not offended at all.
It's just my character to need more evidence before I believe something and also give more evidence when I would like someone else to believe something. :P
