A personalised pencil reputedly once owned by Adolf Hitler has sold for a tenth of its estimated value, despite objections to its auction in Belfast.
The silver-plated pencil was sold for £5,400, much lower than its £50,000 to £80,000 estimate
The European Jewish Association had criticised the auction and had called for the item to be withdrawn from sale. "I understand why some people may struggle to understand why items like these are sold and collected," he said. Last week, the European Jewish Association wrote to Mr Bennett, urging him to remove the Nazi listings on moral grounds.
