August 2019  Highlights

Welcome to our August 2019 highlights.  All three highlights from Phase 6 of the Italian Lionello collection of forty years standing. This eminent Third Reich collection reached across all spheres of the Third Reich, including military, political & civil organisations.

Phase 6 of the collection will be uploaded to this platform over the coming weeks. Included for sale are various items of headwear, awards, and even a few daggers. A few items worthy of mention :  a rare example of the SS Germanic Proficiency Runes, an SA dagger with the so-called Feldherrnhalle vertical hanger, one of the finest NSDAP gorgets available in the market place, along with various Spanish Cross awards.

ULRIC of ENGLAND has pulled out three Kriegsmarine items from the Lionello collection to show case this month. They include a Kapitan’s visor cap, a Kapitan’s tunic, and a unique Kriegsmarine Admiral cloak insignia.

Our first highlight is a good example of Kriegsmarine Kapitan’s visor cap. As Lionello explained, this cap – as a single item - sums up the Kriegsmarine, and in particular the archetypal U-Boat Commander. The cap bears all its golden bullion insignia, along with leaves to the visor, all of which have age toned to give a stunning glimpse into history.

Continuing with  the Kriegsmarine theme, we offer a Kriegsmarine Kapitan’s tunic. Tailored in a beautiful dark blue wool gabardine, the tunic bears the three full golden bands for the rank of Kapitan. Lionello had it displayed together with the Kapitan’s visor cap, perhaps the next custodian might like to do the same.

The third and last high light for August is a possibly unique Kriegsmarine Admiral’s cloak insignia. This large format insignia is of breath-taking quality, finished with various golden wires hand-embroidered on a dark blue wool doeskin base.
