This is an attractive three-pieced (WWI- ie. WWII-period) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') respectively depicting a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter'), a: 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' (or: silver-class, loyal-service-medal for 25 yrs. of loyal-service) and a (rarely on medal-bars seen!) so-called: 'Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes. 3. Modell' (1937-1939) all three pieces coming in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. All three awards are somewhat tarnished by age (as can be seen on the pictures) but are void of any (enamel) damage or alike. The 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwerter') is a nicely preserved- (and/or: 'D&C'-marked-) example that is executed in bronze-coloured-, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based metal. It retains most (ie. all) of its somewhat darkened-, bronze-toned finish (see pictures). The 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen der 2. Klasse' is a nice piece that retains all of its period silver-coloured- and/or 'frosted' finish: it also retains most of its: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) but is a tiny bit stained (it has never been cleaned). The medal has never been cleaned and has an immaculate (ie. fully undamaged) enamelled swastika-area. The 'Ehrenzeichen des Deutschen Roten Kreuzes. 3. Modell' (1937-1939) is a silver-toned and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based award that retains a fully undamaged enamelled surface that shows some darkened tarnish: it has never been cleaned nor polished (as can be seen on the pictures). All three awards come naturally mounted on their period-attached ribbons. The entire 'Spange' is nicely backed with a piece of darker-green-coloured wool (that shows some moth-damage) and shows a (regular-type-) pin-/catch-set-up (which if of course fully functional). The 'Spange' originates from a private household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive example of a three-pieced, WWI- (ie. Third Reich-) period 'Ordenspange' that will hard to be upgraded!

This is an attractive four-pieced (WWI- ie. WWII-period) medal-bar (ie. 'Ordenspange') respectively depicting a: 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz 1914-18 mit Schwerter'), a: 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen' (aka: 'Westwall'-medal), a: 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen 2. Klasse' (or: silver-class, loyal-service-medal for 25 yrs. of loyal-service) and a (rarely on medal-bars seen!) so-called: 'Kriegsverdienst-Medaille 1939' all four pieces coming in an overall nice- (albeit moderately used- ie. worn-), condition. All four awards are somewhat tarnished by age (as can be seen on the pictures) but are void of any damage or alike. The 'Frontkämpferkreuz 1914-18' (ie.: 'Kriegsteilnehmerkreuz mit Schwerter') is a nicely preserved- (and/or: 'RV 34 Pforzheim'-marked-) example that is executed in bronze-coloured-, zinc- (ie. 'Feinzink'-) based metal. It retains most of its somewhat darkened-, bronze-toned finish (see pictures). The 'Deutsches Schutzwall Ehrenzeichen' (aka: 'Westwall'-medal) is a non-maker-marked- and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based specimen that comes in an overall very nice (and IMO only minimally used- ie. worn-), condition. The detail on the (golden-bronze-toned- and/or 'Buntmetall'-based-) medal is nicely preserved: it has IMO never been cleaned nor polished and has a nice ie. somewhat 'frosted' age-patina (but also shows some minimal usage and/or wear as to be expected). The 'Treuedienst Ehrenzeichen der 2. Klasse' is a nice piece that retains all of its period silver-coloured- and/or 'frosted' finish: it also retains most of its: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or polished sides) but is a tiny bit stained (it has never been cleaned). The medal has never been cleaned and has an immaculate (ie. fully undamaged) enamelled swastika-area. The 'Kriegsverdienst-Medaille 1939' is (IMO) a golden-bronze-toned and/or: 'Buntmetall'-based award that shows some darkened tarnish: it has IMO been later - albeit surely period! - added to the bar (as can be seen on the pictures). All four awards come naturally mounted on their period-attached ribbons. The entire 'Spange' is nicely backed with a piece of darker-blue-coloured wool and shows a (regular-type-) pin-/catch-set-up (which if of course fully functional). The 'Spange' originates from a private household and was never before in collectors'-hands. Simply an attractive example of a four-pieced, WWI- (ie. Third Reich-) period 'Ordenspange' that will hard to be upgraded!

The attractive - and IMO typical early-war-period - piece is executed in bright-silver-coloured- and/or: (IMO) zinc-based metal (ie. 'Feinzink') and comes in an overall very nice (albeit moderately worn- ie. used-), condition. The naturally non-magnetic- and/or non-vaulted cross shows some blacked- ie. tarnished age-patina but has IMO never been cleaned nor polished: it retains, however, most (ie. all) of its silverish-grey-coloured finish and retains a fair bit of its high-polished sides (ie. 'hochpolierte Kanten') as can be seen on the pictures. The cross comes naturally mounted on its functional (flute-shaped) pin- and/or: period catch (ie. catch-set-up) which are both present and unaltered (as can be seen on the pictures). The piece - which shows a clearly present makers'-designation '65' -stamped onto the back of the pin - comes as found and stored for decades: it was truly never cleaned and is still a bit stained ie. dirty (as can be seen on the pictures). IMO is the KvK 1st class award a bit underestimated by the collectors' community: they can IMO be almost graded equally as the IC 1st class. Simply an attractive example that was produced by the desirable maker: 'Klein & Quenzer' and that is accordingly priced!

This is an attractive - and actually not that easily encountered! - 'HJ'- ('Hitlerjugend') ie. 'BDM'- ('Bund Deutscher Mädel') related, so-called: 'Reichsberufswettkampf-Siegerabzeichen' being a high-quality (ie. 'Buntmetall'-) based award (of the 2nd model) bearing the text: 'Kreissieger 1939' and that comes in an overall nice- (albeit moderately worn- ie. used- albeit totally undamaged-), condition. The attractive badge is (as stated above) executed in high-quality, copper-toned metal (ie. 'Buntmetall'-) and is nicely maker-marked on its back with the makers'-signification: 'Hermann Aurich - Dresden' (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge comes in a moderately used- ie. worn condition but is truly void of any enamel-damage (as can be seen on the pictures). It is just a tiny bit tarnished ie. dusty caused by normal age (as can be seen on the pictures). The badge comes naturally mounted on its (fully functional- and unaltered-) catch and/or functional pin- (ie. catch) attachment. The badge has a wonderful appearance and has never been cleaned nor polished. Simply an attractive 'youth-related'-award that is IMO accordingly priced!

The attractive badge is of the version with swastika and truly retains almost all of its (fairly bright- and/or: truly golden-coloured-) finish. As stated above, is the badge nicely maker-marked: 'Wernstein/Jena' and bears the: 'DRGM'-text and/or number on its back, as usually encountered. The badge - which has a fully functional and unaltered pin- and/or pin-catch set-up in place - was IMO never cleaned nor polished and retains a very bright- and/or untouched age-patina (as can be seen on the pictures). The pin is somewhat twisted in shape but is fully functional. Simply a very nice example that will be very hard to be upgraded!

This is a very attractive - and truly rarely encountered! - 'standard-issue'-pattern, WH (Heeres, Luftwaffe, Waffen-SS etc.) item: a woolen- (ie. so-called: 'Airtex'-) based- and olive-brownish-green-coloured 'under-the-tunic'-shirt (ie. 'Diensthemd') that was worn by the various troops throughout the war and that comes in a truly 'virtually mint- ie. unissued', condition. This example is brownish-green- (ie. 'melliert') coloured and has the typical long-sized length and fairly large-sized- (and truly 'pointed'-) collar-points and shows two 'front-pockets' (as is more commonly encountered). These neat WH-shirts can easily be considered rare, simply due to the fact that most of them were simply re-used and 'worn-out' after the war. This example shows an inked-stamped size-designation ie. several ink-stamps (that read: '41 - III - Rbn. nr. 0/0761/0107' in the neck as can be seen on the pictures). The shirt naturally retains all its originally attached (carton-based- and period-attached) buttons (as can also be seen on the pictures). The shirt is totally void of any staining nor damage and can truly be graded: 'virtually mint- ie. unissued'. Note: it should be noted that this is NOT a modern copy or even 'Bunderwehr'-shirt but a genuine, German, period-WWII-item that would certainly show nice if used for a mannequin set-up. Simply a great opportunity to acquite a rare and desirable WH-uniform-item!

This is a truly superb example of a maroon-red-coloured- and/or woolen-based Waffen-SS-pattern so-called: 'Fez', having a neat - and fully matching! - silverish-grey-coloured- and/or 'BeVo'-woven insignia-set originally- (ie. 'off-factory'-) attached and that comes in a very nice- (ie. virtually mint-, unissued- and/or IMO never worn-), condition. The nice and desirable piece - which is regular-sized and measures approximately 56 cms. - will most certainly fit any mannequins'-head and has a complete and nicely shaped 'Tassel' (which comes, however, a bit loose from the Fez). The piece is truly void of any wear nor damage. Both - naturally fully matching and 'BeVo'-type insignia are originally (ie. 'off-factory') applied (by means of machine-stitching ie. red-coloured thread - as can be seen on the pictures). Moreover, does the piece show a fully intact brownish-coloured- (and leather-based-) sweatband (that also shows a size-sticker that reads '56' as can be seen on the pictures). This piece originates almost certainly from the 'Dachau'-based clothing-depots from where it was taken as a souvenir by a US soldier in 1945. Simply a very nice and decorative piece of genuine Waffen-SS-headgear: impossible to upgrade this very attractive and fully untouched example!

This is an attractive - and/or IMO fairly early-war-period- and hardly used - example of an: 'Eisernes Kreuz 1. Klasse' (or: Iron Cross 1st class) being an attractive and neatly maker- (ie. '26'-) marked example as was produced by the desirable maker (ie. 'Hersteller'): 'B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt' and that comes stored in its typical etui as issued and that comes in an overall nice- (ie. IMO issued- and IMO only moderately worn-), condition. The magnetic cross has a very attractive age-patina and retains truly great detail: the black-coloured core shows no rust nor damage whatsoever: the (somewhat 'shiny'- ie. satin-like-) black painted core is nicely preserved without showing any damage (as can be seen in the pictures). The piece retains, moreover, a fair bit of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (as can be seen on the pictures). The (flute-shaped) pin and catch (ie. set-up) are naturally unaltered and/or fully functional. The cross - which is a non-vaulted ie. non-converse-shaped example as more often - was produced by the desirable maker: 'B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt' as based in the town of Pforzheim. The piece came stored in its typical etui as issued and/or stored for decades: also, this etui comes in an overall nice condition and shows a white-beige-coloured- and velvet-based inner-section and fully preserved silver-coloured IC-symbol on its top. Simply an attractive IC first-class-set by the 'B.H. Mayer's Kunstprägeanstalt' that was never before in any collection and that is IMO accordingly priced!

This is a very attractive - fully matching and not that easily found! - pair of of neatly 'cyphered', WH (Heeres) officers'-type shoulderboards as was piped in the white- (ie. 'weisser'-) coloured branchcolour, as was intended for usage by a: 'Leutnant eines Wehrersatz-Dienstelle im Wehrkreis XII' (or: lieutnant who served within an infantry-related, army-recruitment unit that resided under the region ie. 'Wehrkreis' numbered: 'XII') and that comes in an overall very nice- (ie. IMO issued- albeit never worn- nor tunic-attached-) condition. The shoulderboards are executed in the smooth-type (ie. 'moleskin'-like) wool and have a length of approximately 11 cms. The set comes without tongues and was clearly intended to be used as a pair of the 'sew-in'-type. The shoulderstraps show a pair of (bright-golden-toned- ie. truly 'frosted'-, larger-sized- and/or IMO 'Buntmetall'-based-) Latin-styled: 'W'-cyphers and equally styled (and and equally executed) Roman-styled 'XII'-numerals period-attached, denoting that the pair was intended for an officer with the rank of: 'Leutnant'. The 'Wehrkreis' numbered: 'XII' comprised of the regions Rheinland and Hessen-Nassau and had its HQ based in the town of Koblenz. All four devices were IMO period-attached and do show some regular age and/or minimal tarnish. The neat pair shows some truly minimal age ie. staining caused by years of storage only. Simply a very nice and desirable- and neatly 'cyphered' shoulderboard-set that was intended for usage by a: 'Leutnant eines Wehrersatz-Dienstelle im Wehrkreis XII'!

The neat piece - which was IMO surely issued but that was IMO hardly worn nor even mounted - came together with its pre-folded and/or non-confectioned (and approx. 29 cms. long-sized-) ribbon (ie. 'Bandabschnitt') which shows some staining. The cross - which is void of any makers'-designation - was with certainty never cleaned and has a nice, albeit tarnished- ie. somewhat darkened age-patina: it retains, moreover, a fair bit of its so-called: 'hochpolierte Kanten' (or: polished sides) and has a darkened- (ie. somewhat 'blackened') 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 void of any damage (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 IMO an evident (and non-magnetic!!) specimen that was produced by the maker: 'Paulmann u. Crone' based in the town of Lüdenscheid - 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 an attractive and unusally seen non-magnetic 'EK II. Klasse' which is accordingly priced!
