Davey you sure have some interesting items. Whatever next? I have a feeling that there might be more in that shed
or is it a time machine perhaps that is cunningly camouflaged?“If a thief takes your money and you take it back; does that make you also a thief?” |

Well, well,
old Daveyhand got news for today - thanks for showing that fine item to all of us! I always enjoy your presentations here and even more I enjoy the quality of the stunning piece! I think this beauty can definitely only have been used by Hitler himself - and only once! Why that? ... to smash it into the skull of the manufacturer because of it´s awful mistakes in the inscription...  So if you can sell it - hurry up! All the best, Thorsten |

Hi there Thorsten my good friend.
Hope all is well and in good health! This more than likely explains why it was never used and remains in this state, there's not exactly a market for such items as this. When are you coming over anyway? Yer Pal, Davey |

Hey Thorsten, please enlighten those of us who do not read German!

Great addition to a collection -
Translation:Across the top"Property of the Stationery Office" Bottom: "New Reichchancellery" then "Berlin" the street name and # and finally the Telephone number. "He who hesitates is lost- is not only lost but miles from the next exit" gold # 0299 |

O.K. - let us pray and enlight!
First: I never heard about a "Schreibwarenamt" in the Reichschancellery at all! I guess it just never existed. But anyway: if it would have been there then it ought to stay there: "Eigentum des Schreibwarenamtes" and not: "Eigentum der Schreibwarenamt". I mean the whole inscription sounds as if a man from for example Poland or from the far East at all would try to speak German language. And so I guess this crappy thing comes from those regions! Also "Neues Reichskanzlei" - it should be "Neue Reichskanzlei"! That would really be German for runaways - and that especially on an official piece from highest standard? Surely not! There are even more mistakes but I think I already said enough. I just hope that Davey did not spend too much for this...  But it shows how easily even professional collectors like here in the forum can be tricked! All the best, Thorsten |

Thanks for that, I definitely do not have the experience to notice such errors.

Thor, Damn you! I can always bank on you to ruin my set ups!
Thor is quite right but I did not expect him to jump in so early. Stay safe all and have a good weekend wherever you may be! Kind regards, Davey PS - I never paid a penny, Thor, you know me, I only pay for things that are worth paying for, your nice items especially |

I've been doing some checking out....
I've received some interesting copies of adverts from Putzi Topp, my friend at Heidelberg who I asked about the German spelling of 'New' as in New Reichschancellery Apparently, at the time (1939 when the Chancellery was completed) it was spelt in quite a few ways. Hitler always referred to it as simply 'Der Kanzlei' - The Chancellery and nobody knew whether he was referring to the Old or the New, it was all the same to him! But apparently in documents and letters it could, and was spelt: Neu, Neue, Neues, Neus, Neuern, Neust - all these were quite acceptable variants. Food for thought! The adverts were placed in German building magazines of the day, advertising the firms who had done work in the New Reichschancellery. It was of course accepted as a great honour and only the best firms were employed on the project. The adverts spoke for themselves and the name of the companies concerned were in themselves an advert once having worked in the construction of the Reichschancellery. I will post some of the adverts soon. Rgds, Davey |

Lets face it, there is not exactly a market out there for paperweights now is there? No one is going to go to the trouble.
I am going to stand by this until proven otherwise. Rgds, Davey 'Did he fire six shots or, only five?' |
