Diego County, CA – A San Diego County man is selling what he believes to be the desk set that Adolph Hitler used to sign the historic 1938 Munich Pact.

The 50-pound brass inkwell bears the initials “AH” and the Nazi eagle and swastika.
Memorabilia dealer Craig Gottlieb of Solana Beach estimates it will bring up to $1 million.
He says newsreel footage shows the set as Hitler signs the agreement with Mussolini, the French prime minister and Britain’s Neville Chamberlain, who famously said the appeasement deal heralded “peace in our time.”
Gottlieb tells the North County Times that he got the set on consignment from a Houston man, who claims he took it as a souvenir while serving in Munich in the final days of World War II.
maybe we can just burn it?!?!?
The only possible use for it is as a weapon to bash the head in of Nazis convicted of war crimes.
If it realy IS what he claims, then it needs to be put in a museum, not as a personal possession….who would take pride in owning something like that???
how can a human being even hold this in his hand?
Somebody left out the “yemach shmo” in the article.
