I found this authentic German Nazi Armband in the attic where I work. Really interesting, but also a little creepy too.

What's that doing in America?
Looks in good condition. Could be worth a bit to a collector

That's funny. I thought you were going to say Mar-a-Lago.

It has value as a collectors item.

I saw a few at a flea market once. War memorabilia is a popular hobby.
Heh.. reminds me of this...
Are you sure it is authentic? It does look like is in suspiciously good condition. Have you had it authenticated?
No, but the museum I am at is pretty sure it's authentic. Appears to be a war trophy.
Edit: especially since the tag is in German. You can't legally get Nazi memorabilia in Germany I think.
What's the museum's focus?
Wow. Are you going to give it to the museum?
It's a "pioneer Museum", but it focuses also on local families that have lived here for generations (homesteading and farming), and some of that has been donations of military gear. We have a small military display, mostly from WW1 and 2.
It's already in their possession, I work there and found it packed up in the attic with all the other stuff that doesn't fit in the displays.
Sounds like it could be useful in an exhibit.
How much do you pay to work at a museum?
It costs me $10+K/year.
I don't pay anything or get paid. As it stands it's just an internship right now,.so I can learn the ins and outs of museum work...
Why do you pay?
Oh, how do I support thee, let me count the ways....
Cash donations, material donations, artifact donations,
engineering drawing for a building, use of space in a
building, miscellaneous.
Currently I'm doing research and working on planning/building an exhibit. One for agricultural history of the local area. And a 100th anniversary exhibit of John Deere.
