He's a collector, he collects various things and has the money to buy just about what ever he wants to buy. So yea, he's gonna have some pieces that non-collectors wouldn't necessarily approve of because they don't understand the art of collecting.

So you don't think a WWII gun collector would be thrilled to get their hands on The .32-caliber gold-washed pistol, bearing floral engraving and Hitler’s inscribed initials, was given to the Nazi leader April 20, 1939, by a German family of well-known gun makers, the Walthers, as a 50th birthday gift? 

I'd be happy to get my hands on a Hitler pistol, or his "diary" and correspondence/manuscripts, or his art work. Any NAZI artwork in fact.

And I wouldn't turn down Nazi regalia either,* but I would not display it anywhere except a site which contextualizes them.

A fascination with Nazi regalia for its own sake, collector or no, raises questions--though I don't know if that is really the case from
the info given so far. No questions if along with that regalia, the guy collects French and British and Soviet stuff from the same era. 

But if his focus is just on that regalia, as it is with neo-Nazis, and he displays it in his home, then I don't regard him a "just a collector," like someone with a stamp or coin collection.

*In fact, I do have some NAZI artefacts, like copies of Der Adler (the Luftwaffe's military magazine) and a National-socialist jokebook (though I seem to have misplaced it). My interest is historical and political though; I'm not a "collector."
