German Warrant Disk

Gestapo Warrant Disc at War relics forum

This disc strikes me as better produced then the typical flea market ones you see flying around the net. I know from Don Bibles site to watch out for the "E" and "I". This one differs from the font used on the fake, I have never encountered an authentic warrant disk, hence why Iam very sceptical with this one. Does anyone have an original that matches up to this one or additional knoweldge? I am not sure if this one is real or not. Do would know. I found a real one back in 1983 at a neighborhood yard sale in Amsterdam. This little old lady had a box of stuff from her attic. A mint pumpkin Luftwaffe dagger, a mint SA gagger and at the bottom of the box there was the disk. I adsked her where she had gotten them and what she wanted for them... She said that they had been collected by her son at the end of the war... and she had just foiund them in this box in her attic after 50+ years. She said that she had lost too many relatives to the war and wanted nothing to do with these relics. She was willing to sell me the whole box for $10. I had jsut gotten rid of all of my NAZI stuff as I really didn't like the Karma of the stuff... but I knew how rare a real GESTAPO disk was... I picked it up and I got a palpable feeling of evil... and as tempted as I was to take it I wanted nothing to do with it. I also realized that that disk might possibly ahve had something to do with the arrest of Anne Frank and many of her friends. I told the old lady what the value was of what she had and she was both excited and horrified that anyone would pay anything for a GESTAPO disk.. but I told her that a least she might get something in return for the husband and brother that had been executed by the Germans... and I walked away. Although I regret not having taken the number of the disk down to research its owner... I have never regretted passing on it. To have made money on it would have been blood money... and believe me the thing felt evil. I kid you not. A fellow ordinance collector friend sold a very rare 12.8 cm AP projectile to a collector in Austrailia. When it arrived the shipping had dislodged the projectiles wind cap which it turns out was held in place with epoxy... FAIL. My friend was a long time collector/expert on German AP projectiles and had bought this piece as authentic.. and sold it as such. He ended up having to refund the buyer's money and shipping cost for a 50 pound Pkg to and from Austrailia.
