85. Nazi-marked guns bring a premium...sure. So what?

The simple fact is, they had really cool guns. Japanese issue military guns can also be quite valuable.

Just for the record, I would estimate that roughly 5% of the guns in my collection are Nazi-marked as such.

Again...so what?

I also have about a dozen military helmets, one of which is German issue. Oh, the horror!

Let's see, what else...I have about a bunch of military issue flare guns, 2 of which are (insert ominous music) Nazi-marked!

You'll have to excuse me, upon reflection this is so upsetting. I may faint...
