September 2024  Highlights & News

 

 

 

Our September Highlights are showcasing three very rare and collectable artifacts relating to the Third Reich SS organisation headed by Reichsfuhrer-SS Himmler.

 

 

Our first Highlight for September  is a simply superb example of the SS 1933 pattern service dagger by Klittermann & Moorg with exclamation mark motto. This is a particularly rare early example bearing the full Klittermann & Moorg trademark, and has the engraved SS membership number for SS-Scharfuhrer Alfred Streich. The dagger was a part of the well known USA-based David Hohaus Collection, until acquired by the present owner in the earlier 2000s. This actual dagger is prominently shown and discussed in Wittmann’s publication, Exploring The Dress Daggers & Swords Of The German SS.

 

Secondly we offer a Waffen-SS ‘Old Style’ white piped visor cap as worn by the most senior NCO ranks, and officers. This is the version with the cloth covered visor. This style of SS visor cap had a relatively short time-span, dating from approximately 1938, it was withdrawn from use in 1942 (although many continued to wear them if purchased before that date).  This example remains in excellent condition, and is named to SS-NCO Spellmeyer.

 

 

Our last Highlight for September is a good example of the rarely seen SS-Streifendienst gorget with the typical manufacturer code ‘140’ (Wilhelm Schröder & Co. Lüdenscheid). This was worn by the SS patrol service, which pre-war were used at all large events, and also for street patrols. Where they would make sure any SS men were in proper uniform, and were not seen in the streets in their uniforms after midnight. Patrols consisted of two-three men under the command of a senior non-commissioned officer.

 

 

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.
