German Medals & Militaria

May 2019  Highlights

Welcome to our May 2019 highlights.  We have three exciting fresh to market pieces to showcase this month,

The first highlight is a German Army General’s tunic, secondly an SA presentation dagger, given by SA-Gruppenführer Knickmann. Lastly a Hitler Youth leaders named visor cap.

Our first highlight for the month is a stunning example of a German Army Generalleutnant’s tunic. This beautifully tailored tunic by Arthur Schert of Hohenstein, bears all its original insignia. A Krim shield gives a tantalising possibility of further research. 

SA-Gruppenführer Knickmann presented two extensively engraved SA daggers to his comrades in 1936. The example we have for sale originated from the Richard Knapp collection in the 1970s, and is featured in no less than three of the Johnson Reference books. This Eickhorn manufactured presentation dagger has one of the longest and most detailed inscriptions ever placed on a Third Reich dagger.

The third and last highlight for May is a Hitler Youth leaders visor cap, originally belonging to HJ-Oberbannführer Döhn. He was in charge of the RJF Kinderlandverschickung (K.L.V.). This department was involved in moving youths & children out of cities to be temporarily resettled during wartime bombing raids of German cities.

Lastly, we now have a new category, Take A Pop, here you will find heavily discounted end-of-consignments. Your chance to find a bargain without compromising quality.
