I posted this recently in the General segment but realized it should have been here too.
Discovered this scabbard in NE Florida. Turns out it’s a WWII German Luftwaffe Officer’s Dress Scabbard, type 2.
Either we were invaded or somebody’s war souvenir was lost. (ACTUALLY we were invaded. A German U Boat delivered 2 teams of German saboteurs to the East Coast. 6 were delivered to Long Beach NY and 4 to Ponte Vedra Beach Florida, about 25 miles from where I dug this. All were captured quickly and in ‘44 6 were executed in the electric chair. )
