October 2023  Highlights & News

 

 

Our October Highlights are showcasing three diverse artifacts from the Third Reich period. The first Highlight is a fine single decal Fallschirmjager (paratrooper) steel helmet. The second Highlight is an historically interesting cantine photograph album for a member of Sturm 2, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. Our last Highlight for October, is an Allach Porcelain figurine of Athena, still housed in its original presentation box.

 

 

Our first Highlight is a fine service used example of a Luftwaffe Fallschirmjager (paratrooper) helmet. Theis untouched helmet retains its original single decal, and is complete with the leather liner and fastening straps.

 

The second Highlight is an historically interesting cantine photograph album for a member of Sturm 2, Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. The fine  cantine covers with dominating SS Runes remain in close to mint condition. Inside, over 100 photographs showcase the career of SS NCO, Reinhold Bruns. His varied duties with Sturm 2 included guard duty at the Reichskanzlei, and security and butler duties for Hitler at the Berghof. Surely, for the exquisite covers alone, a signature piece for any SS collection.

 

Our last Highlight for October is a stunning example of the Allach figurine of Athena. This breathtakingly beautiful figurine remains within its original Allach black and yellow edged presentation box.

 

 

We have the first phase of the Grant Reimers Collection, which includes the Allgemeine & Waffen SS (see ‘Collections for Sale’). Known to many advanced collectors throughout the world, the Reimers collection has been built up over the last forty years, and many items were acquired direct from serviceman. There is also the third phase of the Douglas Pratt Collection of porcelain and glass (see Collections for sale’). Primarily containing Allach porcelain, there are some real 'gems' in this collection, including a desirable 'Kinder' candle holder and two incredibly rare pieces of Allach porcelain contained within their original presentation boxes.

 

Additionally, there is also a good single owner collection of Imperial German medals (see ‘Collections for Sale’), and, of course, the phase 1 of the Nicholson Hitler Youth collection (see ‘Collections for Sale’).

 

 

In terms of single artifacts, we really are spoilt for choice with our October updates, particularly with the various phases of some wonderful ‘old’ collections. But, other ‘stand out’ items include a rare SS-Totenkopf officer overcoat. An untouched example of the NPEA students dagger, and a breathtaking example of an Allgemeine-SS General rank visor cap. We also have taken in some wonderful examples of rare SS insignia, which are worth a look.

 

 

 

 

There is also a new category devoted to SS metal cap insignia. These hard-to-find little gems build into a unique specialised collection. See under Insignia, sub-heading, SS Metal Cap Insignia.

 

 

 

 

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.
