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?

*The item in question is not historical

    No it was one of those “I need to get rid of this and you’re the only person I feel comfortable having it because I know you’re not a Nazi” things.

    They gave it to me because they knew I would appreciate it as a blade and not as Nazi fan art shit.

    It was my sister btw. It was her exes and she gave it to me. I just remembered since people keep asking and I’ve been thinking about it.

      No worries, figured there was a story behind it. That is a pretty wild ex though, good riddance (the ex and not the blade).
