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.

Nice four place medal bar. Configuration is for a WWI combat veteran from Oldenburg. The second medal is the Oldenburg state version of the Iron Cross 2nd Class with FA being Friedrich August. Nice example.

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.

Verym nice and well made ribbon bar for WWII era Italian grouping. The Ethiopian bar is for the campaign ending in 1936. While this predates WWII by our standards it was really quite involved in the build up to major hostilities. Personally, I would consider this campaign part of WWII. At any rate, this is a very nice ribbon bar with white backing intended for summer tunic. Certainly made by special request with the fold over tabs and sewn in snap buttons on rear...

Terrific item for both content and condition. This is a soldier's military record book and manual. The soldier was Cpl. Kesaki Ito who was a Machine Gunner in the Imperial Guard 3rd Infantry Regiment, 11th Company. The condition is top notch with crisp, white pages and clean, fresh linen covered booklet. The whole booklet folds up lie a wallet and all tabs and tab sleeves are in perfect shape...

I am not quite an expert on the minutia of accouterments but I believe this German sword or bayonet knot dates from the early 1930's. The condition is top notch; Indeed, with a leather strap it is hard to imagine a better example. The thin leather on this example shows almost no wear and still very solid coloring. There is no excessive bending from being on a handle so may not ever have been used. The reds colored slip knot is likewise in perfect shape as is the blue topped acorn...

This is a very unfortunate item. The obverse of these crossguards has a very attractive and well executed monogram KS. The good news stops there. The condition could certainly be better (See photos) and the egale has been denazified. This was not a hack job and is smoothed off nicely so that the eagle looks like he is standing on his feet. The smoothed off area is patinated so this looks to have been done shortly after the war...

Very nice chained NSKK. Blade is generally in terrific shape with cross graining in evidence throughout. There are the usual scuffs and very light in-out marks but overal a pleasing blade. There is a spot right around the RZM code. Plating is good throughout crossguards and wood handle is nice with no significant damage to speak of. There is one tiny flake lifted on the motto side. The scabbard is a nice match in condition. the ball is undamaged...

Very nice schutzpolizei tunic. Very clean and fresh fabric throughout and I find virtually no defects. All buttons look to be original sew jobs. Rear of collar has the correct zig zig reinforcement. Well marked on inside with manufacturer name, date and size codes. Even the buttons throughout retain almost complete finish...

IJA tropical tunic. While this is not a terribly rare item this example is very nioce on grounds of condition being just about mint. I find no damage or even wear anywhere on this. The armpits are open for air circulation. The tag is under the loop on the back of the neck. Markings included inspection information, identify this as Type 98, size 3. The date is Showa 18 or 1943. Perfect example.

Excellent condition artillery EM or NCO heer artillery visor cap. No damage to be found. No nips or stains. If there is a defect it is that the cap has settled in a wide direction but this is quite easily rectified by storing it for a while with a rubber band from left to right. This is really a natural occurrence that I certainly would not call damage. Celluloid diamond shows the size as 53. Inside the sweatband we see this is double marked. The front reads "Clemens Wagner Braunschweig 1938". T...

What a neat item. This is what basically amounts to a field awarded document for a silver armored assault badge for an SS-Untersturmfuhrer (2nd Lieutenant) Phillip Gresch in the 1 SS Panzer Division Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. This award was given via Feldpost Im Felde Ost (in the field in the East). Interestingly, the title BESITZZEUGNIS translates to "Ownership Certificate". The holes in the left margin make this look to have been in a soldbuch. Not an official document but still quite fascina...
