This is a truly very attractive example of a neatly (black-) enamelled lapel-pin (aka: 'Abzeichen für Stahlhelmjungmänner') that was worn by a young member of the (WWI-veteran-) organisation: 'Der Stahlhelm' - Bund der Frontsoldaten (Sta)' being a beautiful example that comes in an overall very nice and/or fully undamaged, condition. The badge on offer here is a so-called: 'Abzeichen für Stahlhelmjungmänner' that truly shows no enamel damage whatsoever. It has I deem never been cleaned nor polished and retains a truly nice and minimally darkened- ie. tarnished age-patina. It is also neatly maker-marked with a logo ('STH') and shows an additional 'Ges.Gesch.'-patent-pending-marking as is more often encountered on these attractive SH-badges. It comes mounted onto its functional pin- ie. catch(-set-up). A similar badge is also figured in the 'Heering-Hüsken' lapel-pin catalogue wherein it is given a unique reference-number (4107B) and an estimated value of 85 Eu. I deem this is a very nice and most certainly decorative badge which I have priced according to its very nicely preserved and/or fully undamaged condition!

The truly very attractive piece - which was presumably issued but that was simply never worn nor even mounted - came together with its pre-folded- and/or non-confectioned (and approx. 29 cms. long-sized-) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt'). The cross - which is totally void of a makers'-designation as more often - was with certainty never cleaned and has a superb and/or very attractive age-patina: it truly retains all of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a bright- (ie. somewhat 'frosted') finish (as can be seen on the pictures). The cross has a nicely preserved, black-finished (ie. somewhat 'satin-like'- ie. 'matted-style'-) core: it is totally void of any paint-damage or alike (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece is just a tiny bit dusty and/or stained but was never cleaned nor polished. The cross is an evident specimen that was produced by the desirable maker: 'Rudolf Wächtler u. Lange' as based in the town of Mittwaida in Sachsen - has very nice and/or pronounced detail as to be expected for a cross by this desirable maker. The IC was recently found at a German private household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply a very attractive 'EK II. Klasse' that will be impossible to be upgraded!

This is a neat greyish-silver-coloured, so-called: N.S.D.A.P.-related 'tinnie' (ie. 'Tagungs- o. Veranstaltungsabzeichen'-) being a maker- (ie. 'Balmberger - Nürnberg'-) marked example, showing a WH (Luftwaffe) 'eagle'-device and sun-burst and text that simply reads: 'Frankentag - Hesselberg - 1937' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit issued- ie. worn-), condition. The attractive and oval-shaped piece is executed in silverish-grey-coloured- (and I deem alumnium-based) metal: it shows some normal wear and/or moderate age but has I deem never been cleaned nor polished (it is still a bit dirty but has maintained a nice, somewhat tarnished-, age-patina). The badge comes mounted on its functional (and unaltered!) pin- ie. pin-catch set-up and shows some minimal age ie. staining (as can be seen on the pictures). Simply a nice occasion to acquire an attractive N.S.D.A.P.-related-, so-called: 'Tagungs- o. Veranstaltungsabzeichen' for an interesting and justified price!

The attractive cuff-title (ie. 'Ärmelstreifen') comes (I deem) in a truly worn and once-tunic-attached- albeit full-length condition: it measures approximately 44 cms. and was clearly once worn and/or carefully tunic-removed (as can be noticed on the pictures). Both ends show some normal fraying as is more often encountered and the piece still shows some minimal stitching-remains (as can be seen on the pictures). The armband shows some obvious age, wear and (blood?)staining and was stored as such for decades. The cuff-title is executed in the (typical) neat (ie. 'smooth-type'-) beige-brownish-coloured, so-called: 'Kamelhaar' (camel hair) as is more often encountered. It should be stated that these 'Afrika'-cuff-titles are not to be regarded as commemorative cuff-titles (such as the 'Afrikakorps' cuff-title) but were regarded as official awards that needed official recognition (and entries in both 'Soldbuch' and/or: 'Wehrpass'). The attractive piece was recently uncovered in Germany and was never before part of any collection. Simply a very attractive and I deem truly issued- and worn example that clearly shows lots of character!

This is an unusal item that originated from a German soldier: a certainly Russian, WWII-period- and larger-sized, enamelled star-shaped cap-badge, showing the communist logo on a multi-coloured and/or bright enamelled 'star'-like surface and that comes in an overall nice (and I deem clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The badge - which is quite large and has a height of approximately 3,7 cms. - has been clearly worn and shows some minimal aging (no damage whatsoever is visible however). The badge comes mounted on both its original (and copper-based) prongs (which are still functional). Simply a neat and unusual 'German'-acquired 'souvenir' that most certainly originated from the Russian campaign!

This is an attractive so-called: 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item: a semi-official - and actually not that easily encountered! - commemorative-medal entitled: 'Eismeerfront - 1942-1943' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit clearly used- ie. worn-), condition. The medal depicts an 'Edelweiss'-flower on its front and comes as found and/or worn: it is a zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based example that still shows a fair bit of its 'silverish-like' finish: it has really nice and/or pronounced detail. I know that these desirable 'semi-official'-medals are also copied: this is naturally a genuine example that was never before part of a collection and originates from a German private household. The term 'Eismeerfront' relates to one specific formation: the 'XIX. Gebirgs-Korps'. This 'Korps' had many units in its structure, but the main elements were resp. the: '2.'- and '6. Gebirgs-Division' and/or the '210. Infanterie-Division'. There is not much known about these commemorative 'medals' but they were most certainly 'souvenir'-pieces that could be privately purchased by the soldiers active in this specific war-area. In any case a nice and surely scarcely seen 'Gebirgsjäger'-related item!

The neat 'Kriegsverdienstkreuz II. Klasse m. Schwertern' (or: war-merits'-cross second class with swords) is a minimally darkened- and/or bright golden-bronze-toned- (and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based-) example that comes together with its full-length (ie. approximately 25 cms.-long-sized-) and/or non-confectioned and/or nicely pre-folded ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt'). The award was probably issued and was simply never worn nor mounted: it comes as stated above together with its non-confectioned- and/or pre-folded (ie. orange-red-coloured) ribbon as issued- and/or stored for decades. The golden-toned-, bronze-like finish and pronounced detail are still very nice and bright: the piece truly retains almost all of its original (somewhat 'shiny') finish and was never polished nor cleaned. The award is totally void of a makers'-signification and regrettably cannot (by me) be attributed to a maker (ie. 'Hersteller'). Nevertheless still an attractive 'KvK II. Klasse m. Schwertern'-set that is accordingly priced!

'Hersteller') named: 'Robert Hauschild' based in the town of Pforzheim. Simply an attractive 'KvK II. Klasse m. Schwertern'-set that is accordingly priced!

The neat shoulderstrap - which is approximately 11,6 cms. sized in length - has the 'standard-type'- and/or typical darker-green-coloured- and/or: woolen-based 'upperdeck' and shows the neat bright-red- (ie. 'hochroter'-) coloured and/or: woolen-type branchcolour ie. piping, attached. The strap was only moderately used- and/or worn and does show only minimal staining and/or age mainly caused by regular wear and decades of storage only (the strap is, however, fully void of any damage as can be seen on the pictures). The strap comes naturally mounted on its functional tongue and has the neat, 'standard'-type- and silverish-coloured, 'Heeres'-type- NCO-braid and two (zinc-based- and regular-sized) pip attached, denoting the NCOs'-rank of: 'Oberwachtmeister o. Oberfeldwebel' (ie. sergeant first-class). Simply a great occasion to acquire an attractive and/or fully 'text-book', 'M36'- ie. 'M40'-styled-, NCO-type shoulderstrap that was intended for usage by an: 'Oberwachtmeister eines (Sturm)Artillerie-Regiments': too bad that it is only a single example!
