October 2024  Highlights & News

 

 

 

Our October Highlights are showcasing three rare and diverse ranging artifacts from the period of Germany’s Third Reich.

 

 

Our first Highlight October is a fine example of visor cap for Custom (Zoll) General. The cap  is in the typical field-grey, with golden wire piping, and with beautiful mercuric gilt insignia of eagle/swastika, and special design  oakleaves with centre cockade. The high quality visor cap is made by the well-known Munich-based cap makers of Johann Frey.

 

 

Secondly we offer an exceptional example of a cased German Cross in Gold, manufactured by the prestigious firm of Zimmermann.  Surviving in just off mint condition, the German Cross absolutely sparkles in the light. This award is housed in one of the rare to find later war German Cross cases without the locking catch at the front.

 

 

Our last Highlight for October is a beautiful example of the Land Customs dagger complete with portepee and hangers manufactured by Emil Voos. The dagger survives in an excellent state of preservation, with a vibrant green leather remaining to the grip and scabbard.

 

 

 

We now have Phase 1 of the Newton Holbein Dagger Collection for sale, which includes an incredible array of presentation engraved and  rare maker SA & NSKK daggers. See right of the drop down menu, Collections For Sale then scroll for ‘Newton SA & NSKK daggers Phase 1’.

 

 

 

Other items worthy of special mention include various  signed documents including a rare Himmler signed document, which has been counter-signed by Heydrich, along with an actual photo postcard of the Braunes Haus signed by Heydrich. Additionally, there is a good consignment of military and civil daggers, which has been recently added to the site, along with a small collection of SS daggers.

 

 

 

Further items include a collection of German army and airforce (Heer & Luftwaffe) visor caps, including a Luftwaffe blue and white top General rank caps. Also various medals & decorations including no less than three German Cross awards, which will be going up in the next week or so.

 

 

Our section devoted to rare collectors books, including many Bender Published titles, is worth a look as well, with a fair number of rare to find books added recently. Additionally we have now added a new category under books, entitled – Third Reich Research Material. There will be a mixture of research books, photographs and archive files available, as we start to populate this category.

 

 

 

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.
