How do you sell something your dad brought from WWII? I sold ALL of my grandfather’s WW II artifacts & my father’s extensive goods from the Korean War. Why? Because both of them were extremely mean, physically & verbally abusive toward me. I want nothing reminding me of them.

Well I didn't get a hit at 200 so ill up it to 250.00 Exactly... please give a ballpark. Should my bid be 10% over $250... or 200% over? I'm assuming he has a number in his head.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Let’s maybe do a favor to a member and try to establish value first. I collect memorabilia from that era and have no idea on value.
Thoughts?

Your the guy who might know where to find that info. Message the seller and share your idea.

How do you sell something your dad brought from WWII? This is what I thought. Do you have any family that might be interested in purchasing it off of you?

Besides, I think the most important thing that came back from WWII ain't a thing. Stuff is just stuff and not everyone has family.

So what's the asking price? I sent a PM right after he posted this asking the same thing. It hasn't been read even after he has posted more on here so I am out. I know nothing about them but thought it was a neat piece of history.
I am always looking for factory wood stocks!

Same, was looking at the value of some of the knives sitting in my safe and figured I would mind having it for around the same price as my others but I've received no reply to my publicly stated cash offers. Maybe I need to offer 1000.00, then back out of the deal, at least then I can narrow down the price range to 300-1k

Thoughts? From looking at a number of sites it seems the manufacturer matters a lot, as does condition. This manufacturer is uncommon and early. The prices at some sites are high. Is this dagger collector quality? Looks like it is to me. But price and selling price can be quite a bit different. I have seen prices in the $1200 range. I think that's too high, but I'm not selling.
