This is a classic and much underrated medal. It was not an official German medal but it was allowed to be worn as it was considered foreign decoration. These were awarded by the Italian Government almost exclusively to Rommel's Afrika Korps beginning in early 1942. Not only were these only awarded to a select few but there were also later prohibited when Italy surrendered in March 1944. It then becomes clear why these are getting hard to find; There never were very many...

25 year faithful service award in issue box. Medal is in great condition with almost all original silver frosting intact. Original ribbon and pin. Box is very nice but corners are open on top two corners of the bottom and all four corners of the lid but this is usually the case as these boxes are made of very thing cardboard. Felt top and bottom with maker label on the top. Label reads "Gold- u. Silver- Scheideanstalt Oberstein Franz Reischaue"...

Interesting piece of miscellaneous electronic equipment. I believe this basically equates to a voltmeter. The actual instrument looks fine but the insulation on the wire has not stood the test of time. Might still work but probably not very safely. Nice looking army eagle and abbreviation on front. The case is really nice. Very slightly out of shape but no real damage. All stitching is intact and strap and buckle are fine. Leather is still soft and supple...

Attractive DDAC pennant. DDAC, or "Der Deutsche Automobil-Club" was the Third Reich automobile club. This is an honest, untinkered with example. One slight rub on the spine and just a trace of fraying at the tip. Nicely stitch reinforced throughout border with an extra line at the tip. Red and black coloring is strong...

Nice HJ flak helper patch. When man power became scarce HJ boys were pressed into service with antiaircraft batteries bringing in new shells and removing spent casings and similar "busy" work. This is the smaller size measuring about 8.7cm from left tip to right tip.

Nice set of Luftwaffe cyphers This set is for the air signals school. One is a bit darker then the other and one post missing. Priced right.

Terrific example of 7th Class Japanese Sacred Treasure medal. Box shows no damage except minor spotting to the metal clasp. Medal is in fine shape and colors to ribbons are very strong. Rests nicely in form fit box. Also included is the matching rosette and button hole ribbon. These extra pieces have strong colors that match the medal ribbon so the set looks to have been together all along.

Really a neat plaque. 3. HANSEATISCHE ORIENTIERUNGSFAHT 5.MAI 1935. I believe in this type of event the participants would be dropped off at an unknown and they were to figure out where they were on a map and get to an end point. Whether an exercise or a competition, this was meant to improve navigational sand motoring kills. The unit given on the bottom is NSKK MOTROBRIGADE NORDSEE. The wood has been added by some enterprising soul...

Absolutely gorgeous unissued Iron Cross Second Class. Core shows the lightest hints of mild oxidation against the bead line and a very gentle halo only if looked at in the right angle. Overall, the core is smooth and even; just a pleasure to look at. The silver frame is clean as a whistle with the lightest of toning. Ring is very crisply hallmarked 5. Original issue ribbon is mint. The envelope is very nice but does have two creases from folding...

WWII vintage German compass typical military use. Maker mark on bottom. Solid bakelite construction. Pressure snap works very well and compass action works perfectly.

Nice 1st class Iron Cross. Cross is an excellent example in great shape. Box is nice but does have some chipping to the leatherette. Button snap works fine. Good package priced right.

Sleeve eagle patch for fire police. Embroidered town name is Billerberk which is a pretty town in North Rhine-Westphalia. Decent quality patch with a small hole near left edge and a chip on the edge at the 6 o'clock position. Used fire patches are often in tough shape; This one isn't too bad and the red stitching to eagle and town name is very nice.
