Chris Boonzaier Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 You can see the size next to the French Greatcoat and MG Ammo boxes. This a nail cross, people paid money to knock a nail in, the money was collected for the war effort.... this is a really great quality piece... and very "Grand" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Stahlhut Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 here's an UNUSED golden nail... this thing has gotta be rare-- the gold grades went for a lot of money back in the day; the ones used on the very famous 'der eiserner hindenburg' in berlin, went for today's equivalent of $500 USD really well made 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen some of these "Nagelkreuze" or in Brunswick they had one wooden Henry the Lion, where people could hammer nails in. Thanks for showing it.
