August 2021  Highlights

Firstly, we hope our customers are continuing to remain safe during these difficult times. That said, one can at least feel a degree of normality returning to our lives. Meanwhile, ULRIC of ENGLAND remains open for mail-order business, and looks forward to hearing from you.

 

 

For August we are show-casing three signature pieces. A Luftwaffe Mess tunic with trousers, originally belonging to Luftwaffe air ace, and Knights Cross holder, Helmut Breckmann. One of the finest Kriegsmarine dagger full-sets by F.W.Holler, Solingen. And lastly, a magnificent Allgemeine-SS officer’s tunic for an SS-Untersturmfuhrer with Thuringen.

 

 

The first August highlight is a stunning Luftwaffe mess uniform originally belonging to Luftwaffe air ace, and Knights Cross holder, Helmut Bergmann. The uniform is tailored by Berlin’s best, the gold medal winning, Averbeck & Broskamp. A true Luftwaffe signature piece.

 

 

Next we offer a fine Kriegsmarine battle flag, believed to have been removed from a U-Boat during W.W.II. The flag is a scarce early example manufactured with multi-panels. Deemed too expensive to continue to manufacture, based on the growing demand, production quickly moved to printed versions. This flag was denoted by a British soldier, to  the Finlake Military Museum, Devon. When the Museum closed down in the 1980s, it was acquired for the Davis Naval Collection. It has remained in the Davis Collection until consigned to ULRIC of ENGLAND. A true Kriegsmarine signature piece.

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, (but certainly not least) we show-case a magnificent Allgemeine-SS officer’s tunic. The tunic bears the rank of SS-Untersturmfuhrer attached to the SS-Totenkopfverbande ‘Thuringen’. The tunic has one of the most superbly embroidered skulls one will see. The tunic is completed with a full set of parade aiguillettes. Undoubtedly a true Allgemeine-SS signature piece.

 

 

After show-casing the Clayton Naval Collection a couple of months ago, we were contacted by the owner of another German  naval collection. Similar to the Clayton collection, the Davis collection has evolved over the last forty years. More recently it has been decided to concentrate on German naval awards, and as such, we have been asked to dispose of the non-award side of the collection ( see Davis Naval Collection, under Collections – upper right of the menu bar). Of particular interest to edged weapons collectors, is one of the finest examples of a Kriegsmarine dagger ‘full-set’. A must-have example with orange grip, hammered scabbard, and sailing ship blade.
