SammyT Posted August 30, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 30, 2017 Here is a small grouping I picked up of some German made items from WWII. Some even have the price tags still on them. Sammy T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warbird15 Posted August 30, 2017 Share #8 Posted August 30, 2017 Great pieces. But if the price tags say $9 and $15 then the tags are probably newer. Still great items nonetheless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tredhed2 Posted August 30, 2017 Share #9 Posted August 30, 2017 Great pieces. But if the price tags say $9 and $15 then the tags are probably newer. Still great items nonetheless! The insignia prices are in Marks. The insignia and price tags were all made c. 1945-46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Dentino Posted August 31, 2017 Share #16 Posted August 31, 2017 I'd buy that bullion SHAEF patch for a $1.50! Heck, I would give you $3 for it right now.......Nice pick ups and are in great condition. It is amazing how quickly society/economy turns when in a situation like Germany in 1946...whatever sells make it and meet the demand of the occupiers. They made some AMAZING items for US forces immediately after the war. Yours are great, near mint, examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not SHAEF when it's blue, Its the US Army Europe, or USAEUR in blue, the SHAEF patch is black, and only black. USAEUR is still used today.
