Excellent, early take down version gravity knife by Weyersberg. Mechanism works perfectly and all is fine throughout. In untouched condition just as I like such things. Terrific example.

Very interesting scrimshaw whale tooth. This example has a fascinating look to it. This must have been a very old whale as there are many, thick crystalline calcium deposits and even a gap between deposits. I have seen a lot of whale teeth but nothing quite like this. It measures a bit under 6 inches long but is a fat brute at over 3 inches wide, a circumference of over 8 inches and weighing over 20 ounces...

SA dagger by C LINDER SOLINGEN MERSCHEID. This is a very rare maker and difficult to find. Of note on this example is the blackening to both motto and maker name which is shockingly intact. Blade is excellent throughout with cross graining present along with the usual runner marks. Signs of normal use throughout (See photos) but nothing is broken and no chips to handle. A couple of light taps on the lower crossgaurd and lower scabbard fitting...

Nice Imperial German sword with Damascus blade. The handle and scabbard are both well oxidized but should clean up well for someone with that desire. The important things are all fine. The wire wrap and fish skin handle are tight and undamaged. The handle assembly as a whole is nice and tight with no wiggle between it and the blade. The original washer is present and hard as a rock. Near the base of the blade on both sides is a significant amount of gold wash...

Real nice luftwaffe paratrooper badge by P. MEYBAUER BERLIN. Nice and real. Fair amount of finish left to the eagle. Neat badge.

Very interesting KDF cogwheel flag or banner. Quite long at about 380 x 115 cm. Swaz on one side is red and other side is black. Center has the usual DAF type cogwheel but outside of that are a series of rays which particular to the KDF organization. These rays are no small deal as each red ray is separately sewn in while the white rays are part of the center disk. Each side has a maker mark in one corner for "Hoh. HIEPE Festdekorationen Frankfurt am Main" and hand written in "K.D.F. 400/120"...

Imperial German flyer badge from the state of Prussia. Excellent example. Nice and clean with no damage right down to the extended cross on top of the crown. Just a lovely example from the dawn of military flight.

Here is a real rare one. These felt helmets were modeled after the typical WWI steel helmet with the same shape and basic angles. I have seen these in photos in use in Stahlhelm / Freikorps settings. The difference between Freikorps and veterans groups was often (And intentionally) very hazy. I have seen similar helmets (Or hats as the case may be) twice before but, as they are made of felt, condition was very poor. This one is in shockingly good condition as per photos...

Very nice steel SS belt buckle out of my collection. Excellent detail throughout. Marked RZM 155/40 SS for F. W. Assmann & Söhne of Lüdenscheid. The 40 indicates maufacture in 1940. Nice, rare buckle.

Very interesting helmet. Many Dutch helmets were used by foreighn volunteers fighting with the Germans. When not in use by Dutch soldiers the lion crest was generally removed. The fact that it remains here indicates this was possibly used by Dutch SS voluntees. The camouflage paint job is certainly old and period and the name label being German corroborates. Whatever its story may be this is a fascinating helmet. Liner is fine but metal buckles are well rusted.

This eagle is rare enough it took me over a year to figure out what it was. Worn by French volunteer police acting as security at the U-Boat pens La Pallice. Very rare patch almost impossible to find in condition. This has paper residue on reverse from being in a photo album. There are stitch holes along the perimeter from when it was sewn on a uniform. Great item.

One super regimental stein. The top is actually a Bavarian pickelhaube helmet in excellent detail, dedicated to Reservist Kratzl. Rear is dated 1900-1902 3/8 Metz. Thumb press has a gorgeous imperial eagle under helmet, swords and polearms. Detail of helmet is acurate right down to the cruciform spike base, pearl ring and cut out crown indicative of an officer...
