My grandmother used to have a Nazi dagger that my grandfather had liberated (or looted) from Germany at the end of the war. It was a horrible thing, silver with a massive swastika and eagle at the end of the handle. I only saw it once or twice as it certainly wasn't on display. So incongruous, as she was a typical kind old lady and lovely grandma, about as far from a neo-Nazi as you could ever imagine.
My father used to hate that she had it, and when she died he disposed of it - not sure how but I'm pretty certain he threw it in the sea or buried it or similar. He certainly did not sell it as memorabilia.
