I own a long dagger/short sword. The hilt is in the design of the German eagle with its wings spread out as the hand guard and in the middle of the hand guard is a swastika. The scabbard is also adorned with swastikas on the top, mid section, and bottom.

I don’t want to own this piece as I don’t want to be seen as a Nazi sympathizer or anything of the sort, but I don’t want to sell it to someone who actually is a Nazi sympathizer or something like that.

What do I do with it besides trash it? I don’t want to trash it because it’s decent quality. It’s not historic in any way (which disturbs me to think about) but it’s well made.

What can I do with it?

    I would auction it off and then take the proceeds and give it to an organization that is dedicated to fighting fascism.

      The only problem is that would likely lead to an actual Nazi getting it.

      I’d rather fall on the blade than give it to a Nazi.

        I think it’s better to take the Nazi’s money and use it for good. YMMV. Whatever you do will be fine, I’m sure.

        Would that be so bad, though? The Nazi wastes money on a useless decorative blade and you get to take some money from a Nazi that might otherwise have gone to something worse.
