German Medals & Militaria

 

 

September 2022  Highlights

This month we are show-casing three exceptionally rare Third Reich NSDAP uniforms of great historical interest. All three have survived in stunning condition, and are of breath taking quality.

 

 

The first Highlight is a tunic for the iconic NSDAP rank of Gauleiter. These highest ranking political leaders (numbering just over 50), over saw everything that took place within their Gau. This beautifully tailored tunic bears the matching  collar patches and armband for Gauleiter, and retains loops for an assortment of awards.

 

 

Next we offer an historically important tunic for an instructor at the famous NSDAP political leadership school of Vogelsang. Four of these unique NSDAP training castles were formed, but Vogelsang, situated high up in the Eifel mountains, is the most famous. This actual tunic was a part of the well-known USA-based Jim King collection, and is featured on page 83 of Angolia’s publication Cloth Insignia of the NSDAP & SA.

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, we offer a stunning Reichsleitung level overcoat. Typically beautifully tailored, with the light tan front lapels creating a fine contrast with the darker brown overcoat. The overcoat retains the collar patches for the rank of Haupt Bereichsleiter, and the armband for the office of Leiter Eine Hauptamtes (leader of a Head Office).

 

 

 

 

Other items which have just  gone up to our website include a beautiful Allach Polizei Presentation Plate dating from 1937, three significant SS silver-hilt swords, and an NSDAP political leaders 1939 period eagle holster. The eagle holster is another astonishingly rare item from the late Jim King collection, and one of just half a dozen examples known to survive in collections today (see under equipment, sub-category Political Equipment).

 

 

 

 

Additionally, to those with an interest in photograph albums, we have two albums from the Meadway Collection, one specific to SS General Hoffmeyer (Sonderkommando R interest), and one for SS  Totenkopf Regt 'Brandenburg' / SS Heimwehr Danzig.

 

 

 

 

To those with an interest in all things relating to military clocks & watches, the long-awaited final volume of our German Military Timepiece publications has been completed. The final volume devoted to the Luftwaffe is now in stock, and is listed within our German Military Books category.
