Nazi Poker chips
This is a picture of a poker chip that was supposed to be of Nazi origin and one of a bunch found in the water very close to shore. I saw this item and looked it over carefully-very interesting.
I was on an island recently visiting the homeowner and this story came up. Seems someone in the family was in the WW2 and came across a set of these poker chips and brought them home. One evening the wife of the person who possessed these saw a game in progress and being Jewish had a real problem with them even in the house. She took gathered them from the table and threw them in the lake, hence their close proximity to shore. So the story goes.
I asked to see the chip and the image attached is what I got of it. I would be interested in learning more about them if anyone can help me; I plan on a dive to recover some myself as I know where they are in the lake.
