Chapter 1543: Soviet Army Spoils
Zhang Nan bought all the mother's series of medals and medals at the stall, and the Soviet mother's medal with a certificate cost $1,200.
The number of such top-level medals is relatively large, and even if it comes with the original certificate, this will be the price.
There were no more items in the souvenir shop that Zhang Nan particularly liked, so he continued to wander from house to house along the side streets of the market.
I only buy high-quality products, and the price is moderate anyway, and I have so much money that I have nowhere to go, so I have less fun to bargain and fight wits and courage.
The speed is fast, and the owners of each store will serve the most classic goods, and there is no need to look at the corners of the goods at all, and it took two hours to go down in half a circle.
At this rate, Zhang Nan will be able to finish shopping before dark.
It would take more than two hours to spend a small $100,000, and it doesn't feel enjoyable.
Buying things can also be addictive.
And then...
In a rare store in the old market, which is several times larger than other stalls and small shops, Zhang Nan saw a large number of his favorite objects.
The store mainly deals in cold weapons, and according to the market average, the in-store goods are expensive, and it is obviously a high-end route.
The price is high and the stuff is good.
From medieval swords to standard swords in the post-war Soviet era, there are also a small amount of armor, and even the bulletproof cuirass of Soviet assault sappers in World War II has several sets to make up.
The most eye-catching thing in the store is a large number of standard swords produced and distributed in Germany during World War II, as well as a small number of cold weapons from the 18th and 19th centuries in Eastern and Central Europe.
As for the products of the Soviet Union itself, of course, it is the largest quantity, but the degree of public welfare is really a little far from the German goods.
It is also normal for German things to appear here, not to mention the seizures on the battlefield in the early stage, when the Red Army invaded the Third Reich itself, especially after Germany surrendered, it basically emptied the Soviet theater of operations, as well as valuable and useful items in the short-term occupation area, anyway, everything that could be used was basically emptied: a typical eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
Maozi is greedy, but Zhang Nan really admires their way of doing things, playing to convince people with virtue?
Your own family died in vain?
You're making a funny movie!
Treat the enemy, then you have to go to the death, a hundredfold and a thousandfold revenge!
The previous revenge came back, which would bring a large amount of loot to the market, just like the old Zeiss camera is more common in Russia.
In Russia today there are a lot of German goods, many of which are good.
Zhang Nan emptied several hidden treasures of the Third Reich before, and not long ago he said that he was extremely rich in the collection of swords of the Third Reich, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face in this store.
Something hit, his family also inadvertently waved the big slap, and it was very loud, Zhang Nan was angry and had nowhere to come out.
"Brother, I don't think there are a few things in our house. β
It's good to die, it's Charlize Theron who jumped out to add to the fire, and honestly told the truth, this unintentional slap was really "pop-pop".
She also thought that her brother's collection was rich enough, but this was something that was really not available at home, and she was also curious.
She could tell that the ones she hadn't seen were Third Empire, not only because many of them had swastika marks on them, but also because the swords themselves had a strong Germanic smell
In ancient times, the sword symbolized courage, honor, and authority, and since ancient times, the sword has always been one of the items representing high honor, as well as strength!
During World War II, uniforms and ornaments, badges, and swords were an important and necessary part of every German soldier's appearance.
Every coat of arms, every decoration, every saber seemed to become an integral part of their daily lives.
Carry-on, luggage, and home carry-on, in the end, all became trophies of the Soviet Red Army.
All gold and jewels belong to the country?
!
Xiang Weirong will be the first to jump out and say that it is impossible, and the guys who have been to Afghanistan and Vietnam among the bodyguards will also have the same view, fighting a war is not a good use of the head, and they are willing to fight for their lives, and they don't want to get something for themselves as a souvenir?
Empire stuff is good, that mustache is still a guy who likes to play retro, and the honor guard is often more exaggerated than the ancient Roman army.
In this way, it is only natural that the swords and sabers of the Third Empire are not only sharp weapons, but also symbols of the identity and status of the wearer.
Pretty!
The design of the swords of the German army in World War II is mainly based on the Germanic style of antiquity or the Middle Ages, with some classical colors and other regional elements added.
The dagger and sword were basically the ornate baroque designs of the early Middle Ages, who gave them a crazy head who once aspired to be an artist, and many of these designs are said to have the shadow of a mustache.
Compared with the practical trend of the Little Devil Saber in World War II, in addition to bayonets and fighting knives, Germany in World War II paid more attention to the difference between etiquette and military branches.
To put it bluntly, let the brothers usually hang on their bodies and play tsundere, not to really open the film, but there are still many types of short swords that are not less lethal than the short swords of the Roman Empire!
Zhang Nan remembered that in the movie "The Dawn Is Quiet Here", a female soldier was killed by the German army stabbing her left chest with a dagger, and the dagger was actually an SS short sword.
The real society is very strange, and many collectors in Europe and the United States today are pursuing items from the Third Empire period, exploring history in the name of beauty, and as a result, the prices of various ceremonial swords and daggers used by German devils have risen all the way, and there are no bargains.
People, it's easy to heal the scar and forget the pain.
The shop has the usual SABs, the early models of polished nickel silver for the metal fittings on the hilt and scabbard, and the cheap nickel-plated and chrome-zinc fittings for cost savings after the outbreak of World War II, and the price difference between the two is several times higher today.
The shopkeeper also recommended a sword with a sword body carefully forged by hand-patterned steel, the honorary saber of the senior general of the stormtrooper, which Zhang Nan actually has, but he didn't let it go: the nephew's eyes lit up!
The nephew will give it if he likes it, anyway, he is even more advanced, the hilt is made of ivory, and there are a few swords for the stormtroopers dedicated to the leader.
There are also rare SA commanders and banner guards swords here, which are in good condition and are bought.
The owner of the shop, who is now a well-known figure in Moscow's military circles, laughed at the business: some of the goods were so expensive that ordinary Western tourists could not afford them, and even many valuable collectors could not afford them.
And there is also a problem: this will be the sword of the Third Reich out of the Russian customs is not as convenient as the Soviet Union's medal, beware of being blackmailed, unlucky and even locked in an iron cage!
The shopkeeper has a way out of customs, but it is inconvenient to send it to the West for auction by himself, not to mention the cost.
Business is good, but really good things don't sell well.
This time, the big boss behind the market is actually a super collector, and he bought the most expensive ones, although the price is relatively low, but there is still a good profit, and he can climb the big tree of the big boss in the background.
Zhang Nan said that there will be really good things in the future, and the shopkeeper can contact the market management personnel, and naturally he will not lose money for the first time.
Earned!
All kinds of swords, the stormtroopers, the notorious SS with more swords, the 1933 and 1936 SS standard swords are more than a dozen handles, but Zhang Nan picked the best handle for his nephew.
The owner also recommended a rare SS Himmler Sabre of Honor, which was originally awarded to only the 200 leading members of the SS who participated in the "Night of the Long Knives" operation that purged the stormtroopers led by Ernst RΓΆhm.
That's it, very Yanyan mobile phone Western collectors respect: the back of the sword body is engraved: In herzlicher Freundschaft,.
It is "in sincere friendship, Heinrich Himmler".
Zhang Nan kept this rare saber for himself, because he didn't have it in the treasure house he excavated before, and later the people below got him a handle in the international auction market, but the image was not as good as the one in front of him.
The shopkeeper's friend in the same market also sent a 1936 SS epee and an SS honorary saber each, so as not to miss Zhang Nan, a super big customer.
Buy!
Isn't it just money, even if it is not sold, the price of these rare swords of the Third Reich will rise sharply in a few years, and I feel comfortable in my heart.
The SA, the SS were notorious, and in addition to the swords of these two organizations, the sabers of the ordinary Imperial army were even more.
The common German army swords are both long and short here, and there are even custom colors of ivory for the hilt of the sword, which was the tsundere ornament of the rich officer.
The price is secondary, the goods are rare, or buy.
There are only two swords in the Navy of the Third Reich, which is related to the original number and the number of Soviet troops captured.
The sabre of the Air Force has been available for several generations, even the earliest saber of the German Aviation Sports Association, and at that time there was no Air Force of the Third Reich.
There is also a "combination of demons and angels" - the German Red Cross saber and machete!
Zhang Nan held a machete in his hand from the grassroots members of the German Red Cross Society in World War II, and said leisurely: "This thing was awarded to all the male members of the German Red Cross, is it interesting?"
The Red Cross that saves people and saves deserves this. β
Interesting, of course!
Each person has a machete, and the German Red Cross logo carved on the front of the gauntlet is more interesting: an eagle with the ** party emblem on the chest, and the eagle claws hold a red cross!
"Saving people internally and killing people externally, this knife means well, and the madman mustache is really direct enough!"
Zhang Nan's evaluation is also interesting: This Nima Third Imperial Red Cross Society, now looking at the logo will make some people's hearts furious.
There are also the swords of the soldiers of the First and Second National Air Attack Defense Alliance, and the swords of the leaders of the First and Second National Air Attack Defense Alliance, which were originally not in Zhang Nan's collection.
Imperial treasures, who would cram those things into it. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy this kind of sword, and I didn't even know that there was such a thing when I read the information a few years ago.
Ordinary motorists also had their own swords in the Third Reich: the sabre of the National Socialist Transport Corps, which was exactly the same as the SAR style, except that the hilt was of a different color.
Buy this thing too: Zhang Nan originally had a more advanced National Socialist Transport Corps senior leader saber, a rare saber that is now extremely rare, a sword made of pure Damascus steel with the motto of the stormtroopers engraved on the body, and the manufacturer's logo and mustache signature engraved on the back of the sword.
Fine, very fine.
The standard saber of diplomats with the eagle's head to the right on the gauntlet is almost the same, the only difference is that the standard saber of the government officials of the Third Reich with the eagle's head to the left is also there.
There are also sabers of the national railway system, police swords, sabers of emergency response technology, and so on.
If you don't have it, buy some, and when you buy enough, Zhang Nan said to Xiang Weirong: "There are really a lot of war souvenirs in this one." β
"Win the war, live, everything is yours. If you lose, don't talk about anything, your life is gone. β
My brother-in-law is the owner of the streets and residential areas in the old streets of Vietnam, and he is well-informed, but he didn't see that he is carrying the old baby today with the old 70s Omega.
The cheapest piece, but the most often worn, loot, does not mean the same.
