[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 348861, member: 2844"]Extremely. This is very likely to be one of the many items that were stolen in the Netherlands. They stole from Dutch citizens as well as from state-owned property. Any object from Huis Doorn that was sold, was sold after the war by the Dutch state. The decision to confiscate the contents of Huis Doorn was made in 1943 by the Dutch government in exile. The allied governments certified this decision, so from then on the contents were internationally regarded as property of the Dutch state. Some items from Huis Doorn were sold after the war, through an official institute dealing with (former) German property in the Netherlands. They would not have sold it for peanuts to a US officer, and they could still claim this tazza. My advice, do not buy it. Hope you got your deposit back, will you let us know?[/QUOTE]
