Interesting doeskin jacket. Definitely old and definitely real but has a Hitler Youth diamond pin and gold lettered Hitler Youth district triangle. All buttons are HJ DJ buttons. I can't think of anybody spuriously putting the boys' triangle on when the girls' is cheaper. I am leaning toward this being worn by a woman who was involved with the Hitler Youth and don't see any reason why this is not possible...

Very cool second class Iron Cross document. Besides being to a paratooper this is very cool as it is signed by General Major Eugen Meindl who was a winner of Knights Cross, Oakleaves and Swords. Interestingly enough he was awarded the Swords on May 8 1945. I wonder who was still around to give it to him? Very cool document. Couple of stains but I think forgivable.

Terrific quality minesweeper badge. Early quality with lots of finish remaining. Gorgeous example.

Another beautiful, minty sword or bayonet knot. This one is a black leather strap with silver weave throughout. The acorn is a perfect example with the "cat's anus" tip. Very nice example. Could be used for bayonet as acorn is a bit smaller then full size. Original factory string ties.

This sword knot is out of a collection I recently dipped into that was noteworthy for the perfect condition of just about everything involved. This example is stone cold mint down to the original black and green factory tie. Plane old perfect.

Nice mint set of matched visor cap insignia includes eagle, cockade and wreath. Just a slight bit of age oxidation to the side of the cockade, unavoidable with the material it is made of. Eagle and wreath are mint. One of those things that is very hard to find when needed.

The full title or full script Overhoff & Cie EM buckle is a collecting classic. This was the first pattern of the SS EM box buckle produced and were introduced right around 1931 or 1932 when the SS was just coming out from under the wing of the SA. The full title includes the second line "LUDENSCEID GES GESCH". It was not long before the firm name was shortened to simply O&C. Very early, very desirable belt buckle. Condition is superb as per photos.

This is certainly one of those "wow" items. Original "HJ Wache des Gauleiters" or Hitler Youth Gauleiter Security Service cuff title. A bit rumpled towards the ends but that is because I am a purist and don't alter anything in the least. This cuff title along with a little over a hundred photographs and some other personal items were "liberated" from the office of Gustav Adolf Scheel who, among quite a few other job titles, was Gauleiter of the Salzberg area...

Very rare, hard to find tunic. Text book four button wool construction with upward sloping pockets. In great condition throughout. The only negative I find is that the stamp below the color is not very clear. This type of sleeve insignia was introduced in 1943. With no border on the Org Todt armband this was for EM or NCO; I would assume NCO with the red tress around the color. Great example of a very rare item.

This incredible scrimshaw walrus tusk is one large example. Straight from tip to tip it measures just under 23 inches and a cool 61 ounces, while what is usually found is about half that size. Condition is perfect throughout with only the age lining that is always found in older tusks. This comes from it drying over the decades/centuries and is unavoidable in older pieces. None of these lines are split open...

Very nice, unissued iron cross second class. This one is hallmarked 25. Comes with original ribbon, envelop and tissue wrap. All in great shape except wear to the folded edges of the packing tissue. Great item.

Interesting NSKK dagger. Personalized by some cat named "Feather" and dated Jan 2 1946. Not a bad job and I think this actually adds a bit instead of hurting it. Engraving is on the scabbard which has nice, original black paint in great shape. Blade is very nice with good blackening and cross graining visible. Blade has a bit of black oxidation right where it meets the cross guards. The cross guards show some spotting but plating is still in good shape throughout...
