Where do you find this stuff?

I follow a WWII history account on instagram. Recently they've been posting pictures from a history of the 8th Infantry Division. I assume it was done right after the war so the troops and their families would have a memoir of their service. The publisher is the Army & Navy Publishing Company, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ever heard of it?

President Joe Biden told a joint session of Congress that the Capitol riot on January 6 was the “worst attack on our democracy since the Civil War.”

I saw a key a shop that was labeled as a Nazi prison key. I’m 100% positive its fake but it got me thinking.
How much would a verified authentic key to concentration camp be worth? How would you even think about pricing such a thing?

I don;t know how that you could... One thing is that it would be really though to verify as authentic.

There were a lot of Things like that printed right after the War... No, I never heard of the Army and Navy Publising Company... But I have Vols 1 and 2 of The fightmen of Oklahoma.
These are not mine, I am just linking these images but I have the books.

Edit: I see no restrictions, sell or buy away.
Probably couldn't sell. For some reason Nazi stuff can have restrictions on selling.

As a parent and now a grandparent, I’d rather not.

I figure that all that type stuff known to be authentic is in museum. So I guess it’s all or nothing. Either it’s known as authentic or it’s worth $30 in a Houston black magic shop.

I think I have a few of those same newspaper clippings. Seems every WW2 veteran kept a few and my great-grandfather was no exception. I have two entire footlockers full of photos and documents from him and my grandfather, I really hope to be able to dedicate a few weeks to sort through it all. One set of items I am definitely looking for frame, don't know if anyone here is a Brown Bomber fan or not.

I have letters from Gen. Patton (a cousin to Gen. Robinson) and items going back to nearly the Civil War era. Signed books from Gen. Pershing post-WW1, my great-great-grandfather's memoir from WW1, and much more. I have a 2nd I.D. guidon that might be WW1 era but not entirely sure.

My Dad was drafted during the Korean War. His unit was the 155th Infantry Regiment / 31st Infantry Division (The Dixie Division!).
The Dixie Division's unit history was published by the same company, the Army & Navy Publishing Company.
I wish I could find another copy of his unit history because as kids my siblings and I pretty much ruined his copy.
