Eva Braun's gifted pencil to Hitler up for auction in Belfast

An auction taking place in Belfast next month will feature a silver-plated pencil that was once owned by Adolf Hitler, the notorious Nazi dictator. According to The Guardian, this historical pencil is expected to fetch a price range of £50,000 to £80,000. According to beliefs, the pencil is thought to have been presented to Adolf Hitler as a birthday gift from his long-term partner, Eva Braun, on his 52nd birthday, taking place on April 20, 1941.

As reported by The Guardian, the pencil in question was initially acquired by a collector in 2002 through an auction. This silver-plated artifact bears the inscription "Eva" in German, and the initials "AH" belonging to Adolf Hitler are engraved at the bottom. The pencil will be featured alongside a diverse array of historical items at the Bloomfield Auction, which is scheduled for June 6. Additionally, an original signed photograph of Hitler will also be included in the sale.

Among the noteworthy items up for auction, there will be a highly anticipated hand-written pardon letter from the former British Monarch, Queen Victoria. The letter, dating back to 1896, was specifically penned to grant pardon to Irish rebels who had been convicted of treason.
