    Over 20 of these items, with quite notorious associations but an unclear provenance, have just been auctioned for about twice the original estimate. What are they, and who created them?

    		It would, ceetee, so you get this evening's silver mace.

    I've seen a number of Hitler works, and a few showed occasional flashes of talent and sensitivity. All in all, however, he was a very, very minor artist, especially in painting.

    I think that he could, however, have made a decent living as a commercial illustrator. Alas that he did not.

    In 2006, a book was published which disproved a widely held belief about certain items that involved a lump of metal stored under armed guard in Shropshire. Another 2006 book about these items was by a controversial lord, who has the world's largest collection of such items. What are the items, who are the authors, what was the widely held belief, and how many more of these objects can be made from their current source?
