Field Marshal Baton

[Wuerstenfuchs]

I see there is now an Interim baton replica for sale on ebay, too.

What do you suppose the REAL baton is worth? Or how about that chrome (or silver) plated stick he carried? He is carrying it in the attached foto. A few years ago a guy auctioned off a bamboo stick that he claimed was found in Rommel's house, and thus was Rommel's. I wrote to Manfred, and he said no way was that crude piece his father's! It sold for big money! I guess there is no end to the fools on ebay!

I wanted to post a link to this site earlier but it was down due to tech problems. But I managed to contact the owner and it is now back up. You should find it of intetest:

Cheers, Ade.

Very interesting link. Thanks for posting. I managed to spend some time there.

I seem to recall a baton at Munster, but fail to remember to whom it belonged (at the time I only came for the tanks.)
