6 metal wall signs

[Anonymous]

Greetings everybody. I am looking for informations about those metal signs. Anything can help like are they nazi era items, are they fantasy, are they copies (how to recognize them?), etc. And most important, how much can I sell them?




1 - It would be "luftsportverbandes nsdap herman goering's & ernst rohm german air sport association wall sign". Other for sale here and a Wikipedia page about the association.




2 - I have seen a few sold online. They are called "THIRD REICH SA PROPAGANDA STREET SIGN". What does SA stand for, please?




3 - Winterhilfswerk metal sign. According to wikipedia "The Winterhilfswerk des Deutschen Volkes (English: Winter Relief of the German People), commonly known by its abbreviated form Winterhilfswerk (WHW), was an annual donation drive by the National Socialist People's Welfare (German: Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt) to help finance charitable work. Initially an emergency measure to support people during the great depression, it went on to become a major source of funding for the activities of the NSV and a major component of Germany's welfare state. Donations to the WHW, which were voluntary in name but de facto required of German citizens, supplanted tax-funded welfare institutions and freed up money for rearmament.[1] Furthermore, it had the propagandistic role of publicly staging the solidarity of the "Volksgemeinschaft".




4 - I have seen few for sale online, but I have no idea what they were used for. Does anyone know what does "erwache" mean, please?




5- I have found one used as illustration on this wikipedia page that translate the text as "The German greets: Hail Hitler!". There is also another topic on this forum here where a member tells us "These signs were often seen outside of shops, signifying that the Heil Hitler greeting is expected upon entering..."



And to finish, this... thing... I did not see any other item like this one, diameter 30 cm. I just found out that behind, there is a signature from metal sign manufacturernamed "Emaillierwerk Gottfried Dichanz". I quick search online shows they made several metal signs about various subjects. I amalso curious to know what does the text mean...





Thank you to all people who stopped by this post, read it and/or will give informations.

This type of collecting ( Signs ) can be just as dangerous as S.S. items sometimes...... Welcome to the Forum.. G

Gwar, thank you. Yes I read many warnings about them. I do not collect them, I did not buy them either. They are not my cup of tea, I will sell them. I am only looking for opinions/informations about those. Can you tell me more about your warning, please?

Welcome to the forum Anonymous. These metal signs have been produced in great perfusion after the war. I doubt any of the ones shown are real, the colours are too bright, the aging is artificial. Best steer clear of them.

The other link you posted also appears to be from a source peddling fantasy items as well as not having much idea of what even a real item is. I was drawn to a Wehrpass they have for sale that they described as being from an SS/NSKK officer in the famous Solingen sword factory!!!! It is nothing more than a basic Wehrpass to someone listed with Wehrbezirkskommando W.B.K. Solingen.

Always ask here before buying or you might lose alot of money.
