Born in Ludwigsburg, he joined the German Army in 1903 and transferred to the Luftstreitkräfte (German Army Air Service) at the start of World War I, serving as an observer to the end of the war.

He entered the newly formed Luftwaffe in 1935 and served as commander of the Condor Legion during the Spanish Civil War, with Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen serving as his chief of staff. He led the German Air Fleet 3 against France in May and June 1940. In July 1940, he was made a Generalfeldmarschall of the Luftwaffe. Sperrle advised that Britain's Royal Air Force had to be destroyed to ensure a successful invasion of Britain. Air Fleet 3, stationed in northern France, played a major role in the Battle of Britain, from June 1940 to April 1941.

They were 'liberated' in 1945 and originate from the NSB Headquarters in Utrecht. I have priced these accordingly: a nice card for a fair price!

All 6 pieces show regular wear and aging (no mothing or damage though!) and were carefully uniform-removed and could easily serve to complete or restore a 'Panzer Waffenrock'. This - complete! - set can serve to beautifully restore a 'Waffenrock'. I deem that I have priced this lot according to its scarcity!

All three documents - which are all thee awarded in field-hospitals and signed by medical staff - are in nice, unfolded and not hole-punched condition but are regrettably all three plastified. (I have no experience in this but it might proof possible to remove these 'covers').Taking into account the condition I deemed to price this set for a real brave 'front-soldier' accordingly!

The set is fully undamaged and has no stains or alike (the scans show some staining but this is on the glass of my scanner and not on the stamps). The set is fairly priced taking into account the philatelic value which is 4 times as much!

The pieces are still covered in a yellowish coating and were IMO never used (as is the leather etui). The cotton inner-etui bears a blue-inked eagle ('Waffenamt') stamp. A nice little piece of field-gear that is impossible to upgrade!

Cotton WH related armband 'Strassenerlaubnis', nicely stamped - used condition This is a decent example of the white-cotton, WH related armband 'Strassenerlaubnis'. The piece is nicely stamped (regrettably unreadable) and is in fine but used condition (never cleaned nor washed). This one originated from a Dutch person that worked for the German occupied forces.

The cuff-title is executed in the brownish, so-called: 'Kamelhaar' (camel hair). It should be stated that this is not a commemorative cuff-title (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but an award that needed official recognition. A very nice and original example!

The band is in very nice, only slightly used condition. The cuff-title is executed in the brownish, so-called: 'Kamelhaar' (camel hair). It should be stated that this is not a commemorative cuff-title (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but an award that needed official recognition.

It should be stated that this is not a commemorative cuff-title (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but an award that needed official recognition. The cuff-title is just somewhat dirty and slightly stained caused by years of storage. A very nice and original example that IMO cannot be upgraded!

Cuff-title 'Kreta' late-war type - nice condition! This is a text-book (and very nice!) example of the famous 'Kreta' cuff-title.

The armband is full-length (approx. 45 cms.) and is in very nice, IMO unissued condition. The cuff-title is executed in the neatly woven, thicker-type cotton and has two unfinished ends. I deem this the 'later-war'-type due to the fact that it bears a ink-stamped 'RbN.nr.' (that reads: '0/0260/2340'. It should be stated that this is not a commemorative cuff-title (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but an award that needed official recognition. The cuff-title is just somewhat wrinkled caused by years of storage. A very nice and original example that IMO cannot be upgraded!

Cupal (political) visor-cap eagle - RzM marked This is an 'Cupal' (silvered copper) political, visor-cap eagle intended for one of the visor-caps of one of the national-socialistic (party related) organisations.

DAF 'Armräute' This is a so-called DAF ('Deutsche Arbeitsfront') 'Armräute' executed in black wool with its metal (silver sprayed) DAF insignia originally attached (with its three golden-toned pins). Regrettably, I could not find the exact usage for this piece of insignia: it might be to signify former service in this NS organisation.

DAF ('Deutsche Arbeitsfront') membership lapel-pin - nice condition! This is a nickel (i.e. chromed) steel DAF ('Deutsche Arbeitsfront') membership lapel-pin that comes on its long pin. The pin is in very nice (IMO mint) condition and does not show any wear, aging or damage.

The cap - which naturally has the (darker) red inner lining - is large sized: '59' and is nicely maker-marked: 'Weissbach' based in Glauchau. The cap has a ('zig/zag' machine-stitched!) BeVo eagle and cocarde attached: similarly is the inverted cotton 'V'(or 'Soutache') originally to the cap (also machine-stitched), making it a fairly scarce item. Both (olive-sprayed) metal vent-holes (rings) are undamaged and not corroded. Of interest is the fact that the 'Soutache' was put on the cap BEFORE it was completely put together! A great DAK side-cap - in maybe the most desirable branch-colour - that simply cannot be upgraded!

DAK tropical rank-patch: 'Oberschütze' This is a tropical rank-patch for a 'Oberschütze' in the DAK (Afrikakorps). The patch - executed on brown cotton - is mint/un-issued.

The badge has clearly been worn and is missing its catch and pin. The bearer has left his initials in the wreath: 'KK'.

The badge has clearly been worn but has a nice and functional catch and pin (with ball-shaped affixation). The bearer has left his initial on the back: 'H'. The badge still retains nice detail. Although this badge is in a damaged condition I still deem it a desirable (and early!) LW badge..too bad it was denazified!

This is a so-called: 'crimped-socket' version that has great detail. The badge is uncleaned and misses its catch: also was the piece 'repaired' with two pieces of aluminium glued to the back (to avoid breaking?). The front of the badge does not show any cracks nor damage...just the back. Too bad this one was damaged! These real PAB's are getting very hard to obtain! This one has IMO still lots of character and is in a collectable condition. I have priced this one accordingly.

The document is in an overall nice condition (it is hole-punched and has been folded once). It is signed by a 'Generalmajor' (of which I could track down his name: this should however be not too difficult). A nice (pre-war) award-document of a not so often encountered infantry unit!

Often the (loose) lid is missing and is the coloured logo i.e. paint damaged: this example is the nicest I have ever had/seen! A nice Dutch NSB item!

The booklet is a bit dirty and has yellowed a bit from normal age.

These early picture ID's are scarce!

Early (zinc) WH ID-disc: 'Deutsches Reichsheer' - nice condition! This is a nice and unsual item: an early (zinc) WH ID-disc that is nicely engraved: 'Deutsches Reichsheer', in nice condition.

This is a nice (and surely scarcely encountered!) RAD ('Reichsarbeitsdienst') enlisted visor-less, black piped, field-cap, executed in the typical earth-green RAD type wool. The cap is text-book in all facets and is very nicely dated and stamped: it shows both a makers-mark and date ('Eduard Brauner - Hamburg 1935') and is also stamped with an RAD unit ('RAD Abt. 222/2' and an issue date: '1936'. The cap regrettably misses its inisgnia (easy to replace though) and is in slightly used condition. It shows, however, some moth damage. A surely scarcely encountered piece of headgear!

The document is not hole-punched and in pristine order (it has been folded into 4 parts once and shows some slight staining) and is signed by a 'Hauptmann', being the 'Batteriechef': it is nicely stamped with a 'Dienstsiegel'. I deem this a LW related document. A nice & not so often encountered (pre-war) document that IMO is fairly priced!

P102K) where it is valued at 100Eu!). A nice and unusual early lapel-pin which is much harder to find than the 'regular' NSDAP party pins!

This is a nice example of an (early!) copper-coloured and enamelled 'Heimwehr' lapel-pin (intended to signify membership of the Austrian 'Heimwehr', a pro-German association) in nice, albeit used, condition.

C1 23) where it is valued at 60Eu!). It should however be mentioned that the example offered for sale shows a swastika (whereas the in the catalogue figured badge does not: maybe a variant?). The badge is nicely maker-marked ('J.Schwertner' - Graz). A nice and unusual lapel-pin!

FJ Division') and shows some normal wear and aging. A nice card!

The badge is neatly marked: 'Ges.Gesch.' on the back (making it IMO an early version). The pin was never cleaned (some dust and darkened patina is present) and has no enamel damage whatsoever.

It is executed in white on black cotton (signifying early/mid-war usage) and was intended for use on the specific 'wrap-around' (Panzer) jacket. A nice example that is impossible to upgrade!

Early KVK 2nd class with swords - marker-marked: '39' ('Rudolf Bergs') This is a very nice 'Kriegsverdienst Kreuz 2. Klasse mit Schwerter' (War Merit Cross 2nd class with swords) maker-marked: '39', signifying that it its produced by the maker: 'Rudolf Bergs', based in Gablonz. The cross is an early 'Buntmetall' version with stunning detail and comes with its (shortened & 14 cms. long) confectioned ribbon. A nice example by an unusual KvK maker!

The reddish-brown pouch is in nice complete condition (just a bit torn from rough opening once). A nice set!

Early metal 'FAD' ('Freiwilligen Arbeitsdienst') cap-badge - nice albeit used condition! This is a metal (very early) metal 'FAD' ('Freiwilligen Arbeitsdienst') cap-badge, in clearly used condition. The badge has IMO been once attached to a cap but is still fully functional: both -copper-coloured - prongs are slightly bent and are of course present and fully functional. The 'FAD' ('Freiwilligen Arbeitsdienst') was some sort of predecessor of the more common 'RAD' (or 'Reichsarbeitsdienst'). I have IMO priced this - actually quite scarce - cap-badge accordingly.

Early model WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Wehrpass', as issued for the soldier 'Gustav Pratz', member of the '1.Komp. Schiffstammabteilung, that comes with originally attached ID-disc - overall nice condition! This is an early, pre-war model WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Wehrpass', as issued for the soldier 'Gustav Pratz', member of the '1.Komp. Schiffstammabteilung', that comes with its originally attached ID-disc, in overall nice condition. Pratz was enlisted and was attached to this 'Schiffstammabteilung' but did (IMO) no see action during the war, however, apparently was he also transferred to a 'Eisenbahntruppen' unit (I deem very late in the war). The WP - issued on 3 March 1937 - is in a nice & complete condition (not denazified whatsoever) and bears a (civil) picture of Pratz. The WP is in complete condition having all 56 pages and various 'standard' entries and stamps. There is only one 'award-entry' for a 'KvK' 2nd. class with swords, an award that was won on 30 January 1945. The WP comes with Pratzs' original (copper-coloured) ID-disc as entered in the WP; it bears the engraving: 'Gustav Pratz - N.153/35 ET' and is 'fixed' on the last page of the WP. A nice 'standard' Kriegsmarine WP that is unusual due to the presence of the nice ID-disc. I deem that I have priced this piece fairly. IMO a WP which merits further investigation!

The medal was never cleaned and shows great detail: the ribbon is also somewhat dirty caused by years of storage. I deem this an early piece that was surely handed-out. Strangely enough is it sometimes more difficult to obtain an original piece of ribbon than the medal itself. A nice example!

Early version of the 'Westwall' medal / 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen' that comes with its original ribbon and accompanying 'Bandspange' - nice condition! This is a nice example of the German 'Westwall' medal (aka 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen') that comes with its original (unconfectioned and 23 cms. long) ribbon. The medal was never polished and shows great detail. The ribbon is in mint, IMO unissued condition. I deem this an early piece that was surely handed-out: the piece came with its accompanying 'Bandspange' (which was surely worn and is a bit dirty). Strangely enough is it sometimes more difficult to obtain an original piece of ribbon than the medal itself. A nice 'Westwall' set!

Early WH (Heer) parade-dress/ 'Waffenrock' 'flat-wire' breast-eagle - used & uniform condition! This is a clearly used, WH (Heer) parade-dress (ie. 'Waffenrock') breast-eagle, executed in beautiful flat-wire BeVo weave technique. The eagle came straight of a jacket and still shows traces of the original stitching: it is neatly 'backed' with field-grey wool (as usual). The eagle is in fair, clearly used condition and can easily be re-mounted on a tunic. IMO have I priced this one accordingly.

Early WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Zerstörer' (= destroyer war) badge, unmarked 'Buntmetall' version - nice, albeit clearly used condition This is a decent example of a WH (Kriegsmarine) 'Zerstörer' (= destroyer war) badge executed in so-called: 'Buntmetall', in fair, albeit clearly used, condition. The badge retains some of its original golden finish: the silver-paint is regrettably mostly missing. As stated is it IMO an early badge that is made of so-called 'Buntmetall'. It is void of a makers' mark or producers' logo but retains its small contra-hinge on the top of the badge (both pin and catch are naturally also fully functional). The badge was never cleaned nor polished and retains nice detail. An honest example that IMO is accordingly priced.

Early WH (Luftwaffe) aluminium belt-buckle on leather tab - marker-marked: 'E.Schneider' - 1939' This is a nice, early WH (Luftwaffe) aluminium belt-buckle on its leather tab, presumably marker-marked: 'E.Schneider' - 1939'. The leather tab - which is souple - shows definite wear but is fully functional: the maker is not easy to decypher, but I deem it a 'Schneider' one. The buckle is in nice, uncleaned condition. A nice, used buckle!

Early WH (Luftwaffe) breast-eagle - 'drop-tail' - used condition This is a neat early WH (Luftwaffe) breast-eagle (so-called: 'drop-tail' model) in used, worn condition. The eagle has great detail and can easily be used to restore an early, pre-war LW-jacket- or 'Fliegerbluse'. A nice & scarce example!

The eagle is a non-maker marked piece and has a functional pin and catch: it has great detail and was never cleaned nor polished (it shows, however, clear traces of having been worn: some areas have lost the silver finish). These eagles are heavily copied (most times the aluminium ones which are stamped 'A' on the back): this one is not marked at all and is as stated, a garuanteed original example. A scarce item to encounter!

Early WH (LW) 'Flakkampfabzeichen' (anti-aircraft badge) - 'Buntmetall' version, maker-marked: 'Junckers' - used condition This is a nice and complete (and IMO early) WH Luftwaffe 'Flakkampfabzeichen' (anti-aircraft badge). This is a so-called: 'Buntmetall' version, that is neatly maker-marked: 'Junckers - Berlin'. The badge is in nice, slightly used condition. The pin & catch are fully functional. A nice LW war-badge!

Early WH first-aid bandage-package '1935' dated - mint/un-issued condition! This is a WH (early, prewar) first-aid bandage-package that is neatly marked and '1935' dated. This one is still packed in thick, green/grey canvas. The package is in mint/un-issued condition. These were the 'standard' bandage-packages that were stored in all German tunics (they were placed in the special inner-pocket). A nice little item!

Early 'DRK' / German Red Cross nurse badge - 'Helferin' - nice, albeit used condition! This is a neat 'DRK' / German Red Cross badge for nurse assistants ('Helferinnen'). The badge is made of 'Buntmetall', has immaculate enamel (no damages whatsover) and is nicely marker-marked: 'Ges.Gesch.': it also bears a makers-mark: 'St. & L.. The badge is in worn condition (nice patina!) and has never been cleaned or polished: it is a bit dirty however. These badges were actually the 'early version' of the later badges, showing a swastika. A nice & honest example that is priced accordingly!

Early, aluminium collar-tab skull as used on the black- (PZ) and field-grey (Stug.) wrap-around tunics - used & damaged condition! This is an early, aluminium collar-tab skull as was used on the black- (PZ) and field-grey (Stug.) wrap-around tunics, in used & regrettably damaged condition. The piece - which is very detailed - was never cleaned and shows wear and age. It misses both its prongs and was surely once glued in an album (glue-remains still visible). A nice little PZ item!

Early, pre-war WH water-bottle cup ('Becher für Feldflasche') executed in black-sprayed aluminium - used and worn condition This is a neat replacement item: an early, pre-war (1936-dated) WH water-bottle cup ('Becher für Feldflasche'), executed in black-sprayed aluminium, used and clearly worn condition. The cup - which is complete and functional - shows 'heavy' wear and only retains a bit of the original black finish. It is nicely maker-marked and dated: 'C & C W 36'. The piece can naturally easily be used to complete a WH water bottle. A nice and desirable spare-part!

Early, 'Buntmetall'/i.e. 'Tombak' version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirmschützen- abzeichen', non-maker-marked example - nice, slightly used condition! This is a very nice, IMO early, 'Buntmetall' i.e. 'Tombak' version of a WH (Luftwaffe) 'Fallschirm- schützenabzeichen' (=paratrooper jump-badge), in nice, albeit sligthly used, condition. The badge has a naturally a functional pin & (block)- catch construction and has IMO never been cleaned nor polished. Furthermore is most of its original finish still present: it just shows the traces of regular and fair wear. The badge - which is not maker-marked - shows great detail in all facets and has both (original and unmessed rivets) present. Taking into account all characteristics, I deem this an early 'F.L.L.' piece: thus being produced by the 'Friedrich Linden' company based in Lüdenscheid. This particular example was recently privately purchased in Germany and was never before in a collection. Simply a very nice (and early!) FJ-jump badge in slightly used condition!

Early-/pre-war WH (Heer) cocarde executed in BeVo weave - mint, unissued condition! This is a nice replacement piece: an early- i.e. pre-war WH (Heer) cocarde, as used on the field-grey coloured field-caps, executed in BeVo weave on a very light-grey background. The cocarde is in stone-mint (unconfectioned) condition but shows minimal staining caused by years of storage. A nice BeVo badge that is very hard to find if needed!

Early-/pre-war WH (Heer) 'Panzer' BeVo breast-eagle executed in white on black cotton - mint, unissued condition! This is a neat example of a mint, unissued example of an early- i.e. pre-war 'Panzer' breast-eagle, executed in so-called BeVo style. The eagle is executed in white on black cotton (signifying early usage) and was intended for use on the specific 'wrap-around' (Panzer) jacket. Some years ago these were quite easy to encounter: nowadays they are regarded scarce. This example is in mint, unissued condition (but both ends were folded and it was once glued in an album). It could, however, easily serve to restore a Panzer 'wrapper'. A nice example that is IMO fairly priced!

This is a mint, unissued example of an early- i.e. pre-war 'Panzer' breast-eagle, executed in so-called BeVo style.

A nice example that is IMO fairly priced!

It is executed in white on black cotton (signifying early/mid-war usage) and was intended for use on the specific 'wrap-around' (Panzer) jacket. A nice example that is impossible to upgrade!

Early-war WH 'Brotbeutel' (bread-bag), maker-marked and dated: '1941' - nice only slightly used condition! This is a nice example of a slightly used, field-grey (greyish) WH 'Brotbeutel' executed in (thicker) cotton. All buttons and leather are in nice and complete condition: they just show some minor age (mininal staining, dirt and slight corrosion) from years of storage: the piece is fully functional. The bag is neatly maker-marked i.e. ink-stamped: 'Martin Heinrich u. Co. - 1941'. This is simply a nice 'early-war' piece: great to complete an early war equipment set-up!

German WWII period flute-cord or lanyard - 'Gebirgsjäger' This is a German WWII period flute-cord executed in darker-green cotton. These cords/lanyards were - amongst other - used to wear the service-flute in the right breast-pockets of the tunics. I found this one amongst a lot of WWII 'Gebirgsjäger' items, so I deem that the colour is therefore executed in dark-green (being the mountain-troop branch-colour). The lanyard is in fine, only fairly used condition and is approximately 40 cms. long.

Gold wound badge ('Verwundeten Abzeichen in Gold') - maker-marked: '65' - slightly used condition! This is a neat & only sligthly worn, golden wound badge. The badge retains most of its golden finish. The ('Feinzink') badge is neatly maker-marked: '65' signifying that it was produced by the 'Klein & Quenzer' company, based in Idar-Oberstein'. This is IMO a 'late-war' piece that is clearly made of 'Feinzink': it has truly a lot of its original finish: just the swastika area has lost most of its paint. A nice honest example that shows regular wear: nowadays hard to encounter!

Golden mothers' cross ('Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter - Erste Stufe') that comes with its original (long-sized!) ribbon - nice, albeit clearly used condition! This is a nice example of a golden mothers' cross ('Ehrenkreuz der Deutschen Mutter - Erste Stufe') that comes on its original ribbon as issued and worn. The medal has some minor enamel damage (a few tiny cracks but nothing shocking) and is in overall fine and clearly worn condition. The golden finish is a tiny bit tarnished but the piece was IMO never cleaned nor polished. The cross comes on its original - full length - approx. 70 cms. long - ribbon (slightly stained). A nice golden MK that IMO is fairly priced!

The badge - executed in 'Feinzink' shows regular wear and has a correct and functional pin and catch. The - non-marker marked - badge is never cleaned: it just lost IMO the golden finish due to its bad (i.e.late-war) quality. I have priced this one as a 'silver' one.

The - non-marker marked - badge is never cleaned: it just lost IMO the golden finish due to its bad (i.e.late-war) quality. The badge shows some slight corrosion. I have priced this one as a 'silver' one.

The flag - which still has its loop and approx. 1 mtr. long rope attached for easy handling and usage - is also blue-ink stamped with its size and is nicely maker-marked: 'Witte KG' based in München. The flag has one tiny little hole (hardly noticeable) and would make a great back-ground piece for a TR collection. These 'Reichskriegsfahnen' showing an IC symbol in the upper corner are one of the most desirable TR-flag-types and were standard issue on various types of KM-vessels. A truly nice piece!

The piece is neatly stamped with the makers-code ('LOH R KRG FL') and size. The flag is very bright in its colours but has one (3x 3 sized) coffee- or oil stain on the bottom (this is, however, IMO not that shocking). These 'Reichskriegsfahnen' showing an IC symbol in the upper top-corner are one of the most desirable TR-flag-types and were standard issue on various types of KM-vessels. This is the most desirable sized version. A truly nice piece!

Great period LW 'Fallschirmjäger' picture showing 7 FJ-soldiers in full gear - 1940 dated! This is a truly fantastic period LW 'Fallschirmjäger' picture showing 7 FJ-soldiers in full gear in front of 'their' JU52. The picture shows some writing on the back and is dated: 21-11-1940. The picture shows a wide array of specific FJ equipment (like the early 'reed-green' jump-smocks, helmets and knee-protectors being worn). One of the nicest FJ pictures I ever had on offer: I deem this one surely suitable for an eventual FJ-publication or book. A surely desirable FJ photo!

Great photo-id set comprising of a neat 'Luftwaffen-Bordschützenschein' and scarce LW 'Rollschein' for the LW Uffz. Hans Jahn, member of the 'Flugzeugführerschule B32' based in Brunn - nice, slightly used condition! This is a great photo-id set comprising of 1) a neat, light-blue-coloured 'Luftwaffen-Bordschützenschein' - dated: 15/2/1943 and 2) a scarce LW 'Rollschein' - dated: 19/4/1944 - both issued for the LW Uffz. Hans Jahn, member of the 'Flugzeugführerschule B32' based in Brunn. Both ID-documents - equally sized at: 14 x 10 cms. - are in nice, only slightly used, condition and both have Jahns' picture attached (wearing a 'Fliegerbluse'). The 'Rollschein' was a specific document intended to prove the ability to roll and park the planes: the document mentions various types of aircraft, such as: JU 88, JU 86 and JU 52. A nice and surely not so often encountered set!

Great WH (Heer) officers' side-cap in high quality wool, having original applied insignia and cornflower-blue coloured soutache ('Nachschub') - very nice condition! This is a very nice example of a WH (Heer) officers' side-cap, executed in high quality wool, having original applied BeVo (flatwire!) eagle and cornflower-blue coloured soutache ('Nachschub' or transport). The cap is in truly slightly used condition and does not show any mothing or other defaults. The cap is text-book in all facets: the nice 'flat-wire' BeVo type eagle and (padded!) cocarde are period sewn (by hand) and surely have IMO always been on the cap. The grey coloured cotton lining is also textbook and the lining bears a - hard to read - stamp. The cap is sized 56 cms. (so it will easily fit a mannequin) and has a (bearers') initial jotted-in: 'F'. Both vent-holes and small leather 'sweatband' are naturally also present. A very nice 'Heeres' officers side-cap that is impossible to upgrade!

Great 'Extra Klasse' WH (Heer) NCO visor-cap 'Infanterie', maker-marked: 'Viro', stamped: 'J.R.105' - almost mint condition! This is a fantastic 'Extra Klasse' WH (Heer) NCO visor-cap 'Infanterie', neatly maker-marked: 'Viro', and stamped: 'J.R.105', in almost mint, unissued condition. The cap - which was acquired by me from a private person and was never before in a collection! - is a superb, text-book example: it is a fair size (I deem 58/59 cms.) and is made out of fine, extra-quality fine grain wool. Both aluminium (and neatly!) frosted eagle and cocarde (as well as the leather chin-strap) are original to the cap. The cap bears a neat triangle (executed in 'Mica') which shows the unusal maker-mark: 'Viro' (to date this maker is not yet identified: nice caps by this maker are regarded very rare!) The cap belonged to an NCO ('Unteroffizier') of the 'Infanterie Regiment 105' (as the stamp within the sweat-band) states. The cap shows no wear nor damage and has a full white 'paspelierung' without any defaults. Simply a great text-book NCO visor-cap that simply cannot be upgraded: the best such visor-cap I ever had on offer!

Great 'Soldbuch'-sized (period) portrait-picture of an unnamed WH (Heer) 'Ritterkreuzträger' and 'Feldwebel' - nice condition! This is a truly great 'Soldbuch'-sized (period) portrait-picture of a (regrettably!) unnamed WH (Heer) 'Ritterkreuzträger' and 'Feldwebel'. The small-sized (6 x 4 cms.) picture is in a nice condition: the back is void of any writing. The detail on the picture is still very nice. Original period RK pictures are considered scarce!

Green painted military WII era compass model 'Bezard' - often used by WH troops that comes in its semi-leather casing This is a nice example of a army-green painted military WII era compass, model 'Bezard' as often seen used by WH troops (and other WWII era armies). The piece comes in its semi-leather case and still retains its original (cotton) cord. The compass is marked on the bottom: 'Original Bezard' and is also similarly marked on the glass top. The piece is in used condition but IMO fully functional. A nice piece of equipment!

Grey-cotton armband 'Org. Todt' - mint condition This is a nice example of the dove-grey coloured armband used by (civilian) staff-members of the 'Organisation Todt'. The band - which is full length, being approx. 42 cms. - is nicely woven and has IMO never been used. The band has one timy stain on one of the ends but nothing serious. It has a nice interwoven makers-mark: 'BeVo Wuppertal' on one of the ends. a not so often encountered cuff-title.

Grouping of 8 different single WH (Luftwaffe) collar-tabs This is a small grouping of 8 different single WH (Luftwaffe) collar-tabs. (The lot comprises of 4 'Sanitäter' tabs - two of them having period price-tags -, 2 'Flieger/Fallschirmjäger' tabs and 2 'Flak' tabs). Four of the tabs have been used and do show traces of the removed gulls: some others are mint unissued. Still a nice lot that is IMO fairly priced.

Grouping: 2 award-documents LW Uffz.Reinhold Anskat This is a nice set comprising of 2 award-documents - as recently found - for the 'Gefreiten' (later 'Unteruffz.') Reinhold Anskat, member of the '2./Flakschw.Abteilung 608'. The set comprises of an award-document for the KvK 2nd class dated April 1942 (signature of 'General der Flieger' Ludwig Wolff as 'Kommandierender General & Befehlshaber im Luftgau X1') ) and a neat award document for the LW 'Kampfabzeichen der Flakartillerie' dated April 1944 (signed by the KC-bearer Generalmajor von Hippel, commander of the 3. Flakdivision). Both documents (A5 format) are in nice condition, but are both regrettably punched. A nice little group belonging to a soldier in an anti-aircraft unit.

Hand-embroidered police officers' arm-eagle - used & damaged condition This is an example of a hand-embroidered police officers' arm-eagle worn on the various reed-green 'Polizei' officers tunics. The eagle - which shows great detail - is a neat example of the high standard of the hand-embroidery: the craftmanship is stunning! Regrettably is the eagle in used (and damaged)condition: a vast part of the police-green wool is missing. I have priced this one accordingly: an undamaged example would fetch 3 times as much! This one originates from a small lot of 'veteran bring-back' insignia that I just acquired. The vet glued all these pieces in a scrap-book, making that they show some glue and/or carton remains. Still a nice and collectable example!

HJ ('Hitlerjugend') BeVo woven sport-shirt badge - stone mint with RzM etiket This is a neat HJ ('Hitlerjugend') BeVo woven sport-shirt badge in stone mint condition. The badge still retains its (red printed)RzM etiket (marked: A/R4). The badge also has the interwoven 'Ges.Gesch.' make. A nice badge in wonderfull condition that cannot be upgraded.

HJ ('Hitlerjugend') sportsbadge ('HJ Leistungsrune') - silver class This is a nice example of a HJ ('Hitlerjugend') sportsbadge (or 'HJ Leistungsrune') in silver. The - slightly converse - badge is executed in so-called 'Feinzink' and retains a fair bit of its original silver finish. The badge is nicely 'RzM' & 'M 1/34' marked and has a functional catch & pin. The badge also has a bearers' number: '311372. A nice example!

HJ (female) district triangle: 'Ost Mark Brandenburg' - used and uniform-removed condition This is a used and uniform-removed example of a 'Hitlerjugend' (HJ) district triangle entitled: Ost Mark Brandenburg'. The triangle - which is one of the more scarce triangles - regrettably misses its RzM etiket but is in an overall nice condition: it shows some glue remains on the back and has surely been once glued in an album or alike. This is a 'female' specimen, woven in white cotton on a black back-ground. A nice youth item!

HJ (Hitler Jugend) sportsbadge ('HJ Leistungsrune') - bronze class This is a HJ (Hitler Jugend) sportsbadge (or 'HJ Leistungsrune') -bronze class.

The badge seems to never have been cleaned and has a fair bit of its original 'bronze' finish present. The functional pin/catch seems to have been re-attached but this is IMO not that shocking. I have priced this one according to its condition.

ID-document: 'Luftwaffenhelfer Personalausweis' - 1944 This is a nice one-paged ID-document ('personalausweis') for the 'Luftwaffenhelfer Hans SCHUMACHER born in 1928'. The document has a nice uniform photo of SCHUMACHER attached and bears various stamps & annotations. It seems that he received a promotion to 'Ober-Luftwaffenhelfer'. This is a uncommon document in used condition: it has been period repaired and shows wear of having been always folded in four.

IMO very early WH (Heer) Trade- & Special career insignia: 'Feuerwerker' (qualified exposives orderly), neat hand-embroidered variant on dark-green wool - nice, sligthtly used condition! This is a nice example of an (IMO very early i.e. 'Reichswehr' period) WH (Heer) Trade- & Special career insignia: a hand-embroidered 'Feuerwerker' (qualified exposives orderly) patch, executed on dark-green wool. The patch is IMO unissued but shows some regular age and storage-marks. It is nicely 'backed' and shows some glue-remains on the back. It also shows an (inventory?) mark on the back: 'NG 60' or alike. A nice WH (Heeres) trade/specialist badge!

Infantry Assault Badge (IAB) - 'Assmann' marked This is a Infantry Assault Badge (IAB) or 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen' by the Assmann company. This one is maker-marked '1', which stands for the number of the die used. As usual for an 'Assmann' badge does it show the four circle marks (also traces of the die). This badge is in neat condition and has great detail.

Infantry Assault Badge (IAB) - bronze class by 'JFS' - nice, almost mint condition! This is a nice item: an Infantry Assault Badge (IAB) or 'Infanterie Sturmabzeichen' in bronze for 'Motorisierte Infanterie' (motorised infantry). This one is neatly maker-marked on the back 'JFS', which stands for the company 'Jospeh Feix und Söhne' based in Gablonz. The badge retains most of its bronze finish and is in great condition. The (typical silver-coloured) pin and catch are naturally fully functional. This one is very converse i.e. vaulted: something that is more often seen with 'JFS' IAB's. A truly nice and desirable badge!
