German Medals & Militaria

February 2020  Highlights

Welcome to our February 2020 highlights.  We have three items, all of historical interest, and with great provenance.

Our first highlight for February 2020 is a rare example of a ten rivet German Cross in Gold. Our second highlight is a car pennant for department heads overseeing SS sponsoring members. Our third and last highlight for this month, a Kriegsmarine bulkhead clock removed from a U-Boat in 1945.

In the niche world of German Cross collecting, the holy grail is to find a Deschler ten-rivet example. These were the first pieces made by the Company after the initial contract was given out. After experimenting, Deschler realised they could make this multi-piece award with fewer rivets. This rare award survives in wonderful condition with a great patina.

The second highlight is an extremely rare example of the SS sponsoring members car pennant. Only a small number of SS officials overseeing the SS-FM organisation had the right to carry this pennant on their vehicles. This example; one of just three known to exist; survives in close to mint condition.

Our last highlight for January is a Kriegsmarine Kieninger & Obergfell bulkhead clock. This clock was removed from U-Boat U-1165 in 1945, before the submarine was sunk off Scotland. The clock remains in excellent overall condition, and functions well.

Lastly, do take a moment to check out our new category, Take A Pop. Here you will find heavily discounted end-of-consignments. Your chance to find a bargain without compromising quality.  One such example, is the fine SS officers sword originally belonging to an officer of the crack Leibstandarte SS. Originally for sale at £5750, this has now been reduced by the consigner to £4,750 - a fantastic bargain for £2020.
