African Zulu Stabbing Spear or Iklwa This interesting item arrived with a number of other period items purportedly discovered during an historic visit to the area of the Rourkes drift action in 1879 The Battle of Rorke's Drift, also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was a battle in the Anglo-Zulu War. The defence of the mission station of Rorke's Drift, under the command of Lieutenant John Chard of the Royal Engineers and Lieutenant Gonville Bromhead, immediately followed the British Army's defeat at the Battle of Isandlwana on 22 January 1879, and continued into the following day, 23 January. Just over 150 British and colonial troops successfully defended the garrison against an intense assault by 3,000 to 4,000 Zulu warriors. The massive but piecemeal[9] Zulu attacks on Rorke's Drift came very close to defeating the tiny garrison but were ultimately repelled. Eleven Victoria Crosses were awarded to the defenders, along with a number of other decorations and honours. The iron spear head is heavily pitted with the remains of rust, but shows very little in the way of damage to the cutting edges. The socket which would have received a wooden shaft is still serviceable, enabling this item if required to be made whole.

Dagger Book An early publication from the days when there was almost no available information for those interested in collecting German daggers, this is an attempt by F. J.

To be considered now as more of a collectable book than a guide to collecting, this one would sit nicely with other initial publications of the period. In good condition and with a dedication and signature by the author to the frontispiece.

Deluxe Senior Forestry Hirschfänger-WKC For those that enjoy the beauty and craftsmanship of the German Forestry dagger, this example is pure eye candy. Super deluxe fittings having astonishing detail and much hand enhancement. Toning to the celluloid grips suggests ivory, the obverse plate having acorn and leaves of diminishing size, reverse plate having acorns alone. Guilding to the knuckle bow, cross guard and clamshell is 100%. Detail to the crossguard with its deer feet and hoofs is exceptional as is the hunting dog on the centre plate. Clamshell features reclining stag and does, and once more the detail and hand enhancement to the casting is masterful. Double etched blade features typical hunter/stag/dog/foliage scenes, and has lost some of its definition due to being constantly removed from the scabbard but is still wonderful to view. The WKC “Knights Head” logo is stamped to the obverse blade ricasso beneath the clamshell. Black leather scabbard has twin decorative lines to obverse and reverse, with a join to the rear. Leather has some surface loss which could be improved with appropriate polish. Top and bottom scabbard fittings are held by staples beneath which a stamped number may be seen. Artwork featured on these fittings is exceptional, being hand enhanced foliage and oak leaves, the frog lug being a particularly well executed, stylised acorn and leaf. Could modern artisans compete with this quality??? Fabulous piece, probably individually commissioned as a long service prize or birthday gift to a particularly well respected club member. Amazing.

Dutch NSB Commemorative Medallion for German Sympathisers This medallion measures 40 mm and is struck in fine bronze. The obverse has a swastika at the centre, with a wolf hook, or wolf's angle, over it. From the base of the swastika is the root of a rose bush that throws up two branches to form a wreath round the swastika, which meet at the apex with two rose flowers on either side of the wolf hook. Around the trunk of the rose and over the branches runs a chain, snaking its way to the edge of the medallion on either side. From this point, on the left-hand side, runs the circumscription in raised, capital letters, 'LOTSVERBONDENHEID . 10 - 14 MEI . 1940', which translates to, Fateful Union . 10 - 14 May . 1940. The reverse has a raised 1 mm edge line and a flat central field. Across the centre in raised capital letters, is the two line inscription, 'SAAMGEDREVEN DOOR HET LOT, VEREEND IN GEVAAR', this translates to, By Destiny Drawn Together, United in Danger. There is a small wolf hook in a circle at the beginning of the second line and a swastika in a circle at the end. Above the inscription is the circumscription in similar raised capital letters, 'DIETSCHERS EN DUITSCHERS' and below, 'VERBONDEN IN DE TOEKOMST', which translates to, Dutchmen and Germans Allied for the Future. The medal was designed by NSB-member and artist F. Gerdes. All examples were made by the 'official' Dutch medal producing company 'Koninklijke Begeer'. Mussert instituted this medallion or Gedenkpenning in the autumn of 1940 for all those who had, in May 1940, been interned by the Dutch authorities on account of their political sympathies. Besides NSB members, also German Citizens that were interned in the Netherlands during the same periods could receive the medal. The obverse design, according to the official description, stated that emblematically the thorns represented suffering, the roses the chastening effect of suffering and the broken chains, liberation. The medallion could, in exceptional cases, also be awarded to Germans who had made outstanding contributions to the cause of understanding between the German Nazi Party and the NSB. A special gold medallion was awarded three times to, the Reichskommissar Arthur Seyss-Inquart, Fritz Schmidt the general commissioner for special affairs having the special responsibility for liaison duties with the NSB and SA Oberführer Siebel, who acted as liaison officer between the Nazi party and the NSB. In excellent condition with one hole drilled at the upper edge presumably for hanging as a pendant.

Hitler \"Skull\" Stamps On 5 April 1937, Germany issued a souvenir sheet of stamps in honor of the 48th birthday of Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler. In the center were four identical dark green 6-pfennig stamps showing the face of the German leader. An inscription at the bottom of the sheet read \"WER EIN VOLK RETTEN WILL KANN NUR HEROISCH DENKEN\" (\"He who wants to save his people must think heroically\"). The OSS produced a propaganda parody of this sheet meant to attack and ridicule Hitler and the Nazi Party. One of the earliest mentions of the propaganda sheet appears in Forged Stamps of Two World Wars, by L. N. and M. Williams, Verdant Press, London, 1954: \"The Allied propagandists represented Hitler on numerous occasions as the personification of death itself, and this idea was expressed in several parodies of stamps put out by the Allies during the later stages of the war. The first intimation philatelists had that a Hitler \"death\'s head\" or \"skull\" stamp existed, came when the Roosevelt collection was dispersed. During the second auction a miniature sheet of four, copied from the miniature sheet issued by Germany in 1937 to mark Hitler\'s 48th birthday and with the same inscription at the foot but with each stamp showing a skull and a row of crosses as the centerpiece, realized 90 pounds.

Lee Enfield No 4 Spike Bayonet The No. 4 Bayonet was created to replace the current bayonet at the time in service which was the World War I vintage Pattern 1907 bayonet. It was the result of the British search for a new bayonet to replace the Pattern 1907 which began just after World War I which came to the conclusion around the beginning of World War II that the best replacement for the pattern 1907 bayonet would be a Spike type bayonet. This was then implemented which lead to the No. 4 becoming a Spike type bayonet. The design of the No. 4 Bayonet is said to have been taken from Swiss socket bayonets. The No 4 bayonet was accepted into service alongside the No 4 rifle. This example is complete with its suspension frog.

LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin Memorabilia Probably the rarest artefact ever offered on this site, being a genuine fully stamped and franked envelope which was carried on the around the world flight of the Graf Zeppelin in 1929. This unique package also includes a later crew members blazer badge from the Third Reich period. The American newspaper publisher William Randolph Hearst\'s media empire paid half the cost of the project to fly Graf Zeppelin around the world,with four staff on the flight; Drummond-Hay, Karl von Wiegand, the Australian explorer Hubert Wilkins, and the cameraman Robert Hartmann. Drummond-Hay became the first woman to circumnavigate the world by air. Hearst stipulated that the flight in August 1929 officially start and finish at Lakehurst USA. Round-the-world tickets were sold for almost $3000 (equivalent to $45,000 in 2020), but most participants had their costs paid for them. The flight\'s expenses were offset by the carriage of souvenir mail between Lakehurst, Friedrichshafen, Tokyo, and Los Angeles. A US franked letter flown on the whole trip from Lakehurst to Lakehurst required $3.55 (equivalent to $54 in 2020) in postage. Graf Zeppelin set off from Lakehurst on 8 August, heading eastwards.The ship refuelled at Friedrichshafen, then continued across Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union to Tokyo. After five days at a former German airship shed that had been removed from Jüterbog and rebuilt at Kasumigaura Naval Air Station,Graf Zeppelin continued across the Pacific to California. Eckener delayed crossing the coast at San Francisco\'s Golden Gate so as to come in near sunset for aesthetic effect.The ship landed at Mines Field in Los Angeles, completing the first ever nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean. The takeoff from Los Angeles was difficult because of high temperatures and an inversion layer. To lighten the ship, six crew were sent on to Lakehurst by aeroplane.The airship suffered minor damage from a tail strike and barely cleared electricity cables at the edge of the field. The Graf Zeppelin arrived back at Lakehurst from the west on the morning of 29 August, three weeks after it had departed to the east. Flying time for the four Lakehurst to Lakehurst legs was 12 days, 12 hours, and 13 minutes; the entire circumnavigation (including stops) took 21 days, 5 hours, and 31 minutes to cover 33,234 km (20,651 mi; 17,945 nmi). It was the fastest circumnavigation of the globe to date. Envelope is stamped and franked and addressed to a paper manufacturer in Germany. (Interesting to note that the owners of this company fled Germany in 1939 to escape the Nazi takeover!) It has some foxing and tearing at the edges but is still in superb condition. The blazer badge is in \"Bevo\" style and in perfect condition. For the advanced collector here is an opportunity to own what is probably the only envelope of its type left in the world-living history just does not get any better!

NAPOLA Film Flyer Fantastic flyer for the 1941 film "Kopf Hoch Johannes" literally translated as "Chin Up Johannes" an educational propaganda film set in the Oraniensburg Napola school Upon his mother's death, fifteen-year-old Johannes von Redel returns to his father's rural estate in Prussia. Johannes has been living with his mother in Argentina for the past ten years, and he has grown up as an urban, decadent, and fastidious Auslandsdeutscher (German living abroad), alienated from his German roots. He does not take to German life and finds himself in constant conflict with his father and with the local boys. His father decides to send him to the National Political Institute of Education Oranienstein, one of a number of elite Nazi boarding schools, where it is hoped that Johannes will learn about comradeship from the other students. These schools were designed to train the next generation of German leaders; they were administered by the Reich Education Minister (and later by the SS), and a boy had to be a member of the Hitler Jugend (Hitler Youth) to attend. Johannes begins poorly at the school, where fellow students ridicule his alien customs and behavior. It is only after accomplishing a heroic deed during a military autumn drill that he gains the comradeship of the elite pupils and is incorporated back into the Volksgemeinschaft (ethnic-racial community), fully reconciling with his father. Kopf Hoch, Johannes! is compelling in its authenticity. It was shot on location at Prussia’s Oranienstein, a real National Political Academy—or NAPOLA, as these select schools were called, where Scores of students appeared as extras. Although Reich Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels found the picture too blatantly propagandistic, preferring more subliminal messages, the film proved enormously popular with young German audiences and confirmed the merits of such youth-oriented productions. Three more soon followed: Jakko (1941) and two that are forthcoming from International Historic Films, Hände hoch! (Hands Up!, 1942) and Junge Adler (Young Eagles, 1944). This fold-out flyer has many shots taken from the film, and even includes a picture of a leader wearing his chained dagger! Excellent condition.

Prototype Bundeswehr Luftwaffe Dagger When the German Air Force was re-established after WW11, it was necessary to propose a new uniform for its members, to include a dress dagger for its flying officers. The prototype of this dagger was based on that used during the war, albeit on a slightly larger scale. After a very brief production run, it was decided that the similarities to the Nazi version of the dagger were too great to be considered politically correct in the Cold War climate of the time, consequently the design was dropped and existing examples withdrawn, leaving just a few examples in existence, this being one. Heart shaped pommel has oak leaf and acorn designs running from base to crown. Celluloid covered grip is based on a wooden former and is wrapped with twisted springy wire. Crossguard consists of an open winged eagle looking to its left having high detailing to its breast and wing feathers. It’s talons are outstretched, whilst it’s tail may be seen behind the talons. Crossguard reverse features a raised area possibly for an engraving. Much factory darkening remains throughout. Bright blade is in excellent condition and void of any maker mark.

Senior Forestry Cutlass-WKC Model 1051 Though unmarked, (typical for 95% of this model) this piece is unquestionably Model 1051 in the WKC catalogue. ( lifting the blade washer reveals a knights head logo cast into the underside of the clamshell as confirmation) The beauty and quality of all hunting and forestry pieces is far above that of anything produced for the NAZI regime, yet, despite being manufactured and worn during that time, they are highly undervalued and shunned by much of the collecting community. This WKC deluxe entry is typical of the state of the art left to us by the Solingen producers during the days of the Reich. Celluloid grip has its six oak leaf and acorn depictions correctly attached, all retaining their gilt finish. “P” style crossguard and knuckle bow have high definition to the leaf decoration and once more retain all their finish. Clamshell depiction of a boars head within oak leaves is a thing of beauty, highly detailed and showing much hand enhancement. Guilding is 100% to both obverse and reverse. 13 inch blade is triple etched having crisp, sharp depictions of hunters, stags, boars and hunting dogs on a dark grey background, superb example of the etchers art. Black leather scabbard has decorative lineage to both sides, with a raised join to the reverse. Lower fitting has highly detailed leaf depictions with a number visible beneath the staple. Upper fitting has a stylised oak leaf as a frog lug, and again has a number beneath the staple. No, it’s not overtly NAZI, but surely everyone needs at least one of these crowd pleasers in their collection, and even the wife cannot fail to appreciate the craftsmanship displayed here.

Third Reich Army Officers Dagger -Alcoso This piece has a lot going for it including “high lift” Alcoso crossguard and the rare cream coloured “Galalith” grip. (This grip material is often misnamed as “Goliath” ) Galalith is universally known as milkstone (or Erinoid in the United Kingdom) and is a synthetic plastic material manufactured by the interaction of casein and formaldehyde. The commercial name is derived from the Ancient Greek words γάλα (gala, "milk") and λῐ́θος (lithos, "stone"). It is odourless, insoluble in water, biodegradable, non-allergenic, antistatic and virtually nonflammable. Galalith was marketed in boards, pipes and rods. In 1913, thirty million litres (eight million US gallons) of milk were used to produce Galalith in Germany alone. Undamaged pommel with good definition to the oak leaves. As discussed the well defined crossguard is the sought after Alcoso “high lift” version having well detailed eagle and swastica depiction.

Third Reich DRK Subordinate Dagger Though unmarked, two manufacturers have been associated with this Hewer-PD Luneschloss and Robert Klass, the only obvious difference being in the scabbard lower fitting, either press fit (no screws) or two side screws. Both makers offerings are fine quality edged weapons, although in order to conform to the rules of the Geneva convention a pointed blade was unacceptable, thus the squared off, “screwdriver” type finish was adopted.

Third Reich First Model Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Eickhorn Superb early example produced soon after the transition from the “Long DLV” model.

Fourteen leaf pommel has no loss of plating and retains all its artificial darkening in the background. The seven rib, black trolon grip is longer than that seen on standard army daggers, as is proper for the Klaas examples of this dagger type.

This portepee has purple/black flecking to the strap, slide and stem. Base of the acorn has a purple/black twisted wire infill. Blade has no chips, nics or other damage and a needle sharp tip. Some grey ageing is present in the finish which could improved considerably by some careful cleaning. Scabbard has some “train door” dents and minor loss of finish to the edges. Scabbard bands exhibit the appropriate Klaas “asterisk” and are properly fixed. Both side mounted throat screws are present. Fine example of a rare dagger type, complete with a portepee which has substantial value as a stand alone.

Third Reich First Model RLB Officer Dagger-Weyersberg Finding a first model RLB in decent condition is becoming very difficult these days, not just because quality daggers of any kind have all but disappeared from the market, but also because most of the first models were converted to second models in the period. The stunning “art deco” look of this series of daggers has always made them a favourite with collectors, and completing a collection of all four these days is quite an achievement. This piece is all early quality, heavy construction having a perfect highly vaulted pommel. Wooden grip is covered in fine grain Moroccan leather having a barely discernible vertical join. First model RLB insignia is correctly pinned to the obverse face and has all the blue enamel remaining, and most of the silvering to the sunburst. Fluted crossguard arms are perfectly straight and waffenampt stamped, this stamping being repeated on the top face of the upper scabbard fitting. Crossguard eagle and mobile swastica have no damage; the patina on these fittings is quite beautiful and getting better with every year that passes. Blade has some minor age to the surfaces but no nicks or damage to the edges and a perfect point. A thin leather washer remains beneath the crossguard. Scabbard is perfectly straight with no damage to the matching Moroccan leather covering. Top and bottom fittings retain the fixing screws and are in perfect condition, the upper fitting developing a superb “crazy paving” patina. Attached to the upper fitting is a scabbard ring and leather suspension strap-so often missing on this model. Minor crazing to the leather which has the properly fixed oval metal joining pieces. An early “Asmann” and “D.R.G.M. Spring clip completes this fabulous example.

Third Reich Hunting Dagger-Alcoso Mounts are in beautiful nickel silver and they have patinated well throughout although some of the frosting remains. The pommel cap is a fine example having hand enhanced oak leaves and acorns flowing down from the retaining nut. Ferrule is enhanced with horizontal lines. The crossguard features the plain center block area on both sides and the quillon arms go outward in the shape of deer’s hooves. The hair is simulated from the deer’s legs from hand enhancing into the metal. The left guard goes upward the right guard goes downward. Below is a fine clamshell. The grip almost exactly fits the pommel and ferrule with little cutting required. The grain in the stag is extremely attractive stemming from dark coffee colors to lighter tan colors.

Light orange grip is slightly lighter to the obverse, and is tightly wrapped with springy silver wire. Raised out crossguard eagle is a superb specimen, having highly detailed beak, brow and eye, and with every individual feather visible. These fittings are non magnetic and very heavy, possibly being of early brass construction. Plain, non maker marked plated blade is in excellent condition having only minor age greying which would polish out easily. A leather blade washer is present in the recess of the crossguard. Pebbled scabbard panels are well defined, as are the scabbard bands. It is interesting to note the swing wear present in the upper band, caused by the scabbard ring, indicating that this piece was worn for a considerable period, no doubt with pride.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Fridericus Another unusual maker for a Luftwaffe dagger, “Fridericus” was the trading name for the firm of Gebrüder Wester of Solingen. Best known for their superb Damascus bladed offerings, this piece has a plain, bright blade with the maker mark “Fridericus Solingen” placed lengthwise on the reverse. Pommel shows much hand enhancing to the pebbled background, whilst the crossguard eagle has well defined wing and breast feathering. Ivory coloured grip has no damage and is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire. Scabbard has some ageing in the surfaces and one small dent which has resulted in a minor split to a seam. Bands and rings are securely in place and well defined. For the maker mark collectors, here’s a piece not to be missed.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Herder Excellent piece by the less common Luftwaffe manufacturer of F.Herder. Heart shaped pommel with much detail to the oak leaf and acorn depictions and with hand enhancement to the pebbled background. Grip is the wood based, celluloid covered type having tightly wound twin wires in the grooves. Crossguard with prominent oak leafs to the upper surfaces and with a highly detailed crossguard eagle clutching a mobile swastica in its talons. A pebbled leather washer blade washer remains within the lower recesses of the crossguard. The presence of this washer no doubt accounts for the totally mint state of the blade-needle tip, full crossgrain and with the Herder “crossed keys” mark to the reverse ricasso. Airplane grey scabbard is in matching superb condition, retaining all its finish, and having a single, side positioned throat screw. Scabbard bands are securely fixed, the upper band having substantial “swing wear”-nice to see! Wrapped about the grip is a 23cm portepee in the correct tie. Excellent example, and definitely one for those who collect by maker mark.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Herder Excellent pommel having good definition to the background stippling and fine detail to the acorn and oak leaf depictions. Very attractive translucent orange grip having twisted silver wire wrap. The wire is slightly loose but fixed tightly top and bottom. There is a small chip adjacent to the grip which would be covered by a portepee. Crossguard eagle has excellent detail to the outstretched wing, breast and leg feathers. The birds head has a well defined eye and beak, whilst the talons clutch a mobile swastica. A brown leather washer remains within the crossguard recess. Bright blade has a needle sharp tip with no damage to the edges. The “Richard Abr. Herder” trademark is on the upper obverse ricasso. Scabbard has fine stippled panels with a minor dent to the lower chape area. Domed headed screws retain the throat and appear unturned. Scabbard bands have well detailed oak leaf embellishments and remain securely fixed. Nice example from a less common manufacturer.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Kolping A rare maker seldom seen on Luftwaffe daggers, Kolping made daggers for all branches of the Wehrmacht, but their Luftwaffe entry was particularly well made. Nicely finished pommel with hand enhanced background to the leaves. Pumpkin coloured grip is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire, their is one minuscule chip to the top of the grip, which would be covered by a portepee. Carefully cast crossguard with outstretched winged eagle to the obverse. This eagle has a deeply recessed eye and prominent other features giving a striking three dimensional effect. Bright blade has no damage and shows much crossgrain along it’s whole length. The “H.Kolping” beer tankard logo is proudly displayed on the reverse ricasso. A leather blade washer is present in the crossguard recess. Scabbard is perfectly straight and dent free, having excellent stippling to the panels and well defined depictions of oak leaves to the lower chape area.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Plümacher Another rare maker for a Luft dagger! Pommel is highly detailed having much hand enhancing, both to the background of the acorn leaves and to the swastica, which retains its original gold finish. Although thinning, this covering is clearly present on both obverse and reverse. Undamaged grip is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire. Crossguard eagle shows no wear, having remarkable detail to wing and breast feathering. A blade washer is set in the recess beneath the crossguard.

Scabbard has a perfect airplane grey finish with no signs of age or damage whatsoever. Scabbard bands and rings are securely set in place and have excellent definition to the raised oak leaf depictions. Super example of a rare maker Luftwaffe dagger!

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-SMF This dagger has the benefit of a personalisation on the reverse crossguard, appearing to be “V.Reeken”. All fittings in excellent condition, the crossguard eagle having some loss of definition due to wear from the owners hand during the war years. Pumpkin coloured grip has a barely visible crack near the ferrule, and tight, twisted silver wire in the spiral grooves. These grooves have darkened over the years and appear to have residue of dirt and grime, which could be simply removed by the next owner if required. Blade appears to be a plated variety in excellent condition with no damage to the edges and with a needle point tip. The “seated king” SMF logo, and a number 5 waffenampt is present on the upper reverse ricasso. Scabbard has no dents or loss of finish, with areas of dark age toning in places. Bands and rings are securely in place, having prominent oak leaf decoration. Flush mount throat screws are present on either side of the upper scabbard area. Nice SMF example.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-Spitzer Although not a particularly prolific manufacturer, the quality of Spitzer daggers has long been recognised in the collecting community, particularly with respect to their RLB offerings. That quality extends to this Luftwaffe dagger which retains an excellent finish on all its fittings. Obvious hand enhancement to the pebbled background and oak leaves on the pommel, which really stand out on both obverse and reverse. Lemon coloured grip has toned lighter on the obverse from the effects of sunlight, and is tightly wrapped with twisted brass wire. Undamaged crossguard has an exceptional finish, with particularly prominent oak leaf decoration to the upper surfaces. Crossguard eagle is highly defined, as is the stippling on the reverse. Beautiful, bright blade has no damage and is marked with the large Spitzer prancing lion symbol and name to the upper reverse ricasso. Scabbard has a beautiful finish with exceptional stippling to the panels, and is complete with two domed headed throat retaining screws. Scabbard bands are secure and have beautifully executed oak leaf depictions. Overall a splendid example of a second model Luftwaffe dagger from a far from common maker.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Dagger-WKC No damage to pommel, ferrule or crossguard which has a well detailed eagle and prominent oak leaf depiction to the upper arms. Pale yellow grip is undamaged being tightly wrapped with twisted silver wire. This grip has a most attractive translucent quality.

A brown leather blade washer remains within the recess of the crossguard. Scabbard is in excellent condition having good pebbling to the panels and detailed oak leaf depictions to the lower chape area. Scabbard bands and rings are tight and well detailed.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Officers Sword-Helbig These early quality Luft swords are such impressive items for display, hard to imagine carrying something of this weight around all day! No damage to pommel or sun wheel swastica inserts, Moroccan leather covered grip complete with twin strands of twisted brass wire. Some minor loss of colour to leather, easily covered with “Meltonian” polish. Brass based crossguard has superbly hand crafted downswept quillions, and is stamped with the number “96”. This number is repeated on the upper scabbard throat. Blue leather washer is present beneath the crossguard. Bright blade is in fine condition without nicks or other damage. Lightly stamped to the upper reverse ricasso is the F & A Helbig logo. Scabbard leather is excellent having fine grain visible in the surface and with no damage to the seam. Attached to the upper scabbard fitting is a blue leather “crescent” hanger in excellent condition, and attached to that is a perfect example of the sword belt loop having a pebbled spring clip. This hanger is stamped with the makers name and “LBA” to the reverse. Fine example of an early issue Sword.

Third Reich Luftwaffe Survival Machete-Alcoso Seemingly a contract exclusive to Alcoso, this weapon, though not strictly a dagger is missing from most collections. Originally part of the “ditching” equipment supplied to Luftwaffe bomber crews, predominantly those flying the HE111, it is today a rare survivor. This example has steel based fittings which have good age toning but no damage. Wooden grip plates, having diagonal anti slip cut outs are perfectly fitted and secured by screw headed bolts and nuts. Enormous bolo type blade is in fine condition having only slight sharpening and minor signs of age in the surfaces. The Alcoso trademark is placed along the blade in the upper ricasso area.This blade would clean easily to a near mint state. Anodised scabbard has no damage and retains both side mounted throat screws. Difficult to find in anything like this very collectible condition.

Blue leather is unmarked and with perfect stitching, a little stiff from age and would benefit from "feeding". Upper Nickel, sewn-In suspension clip in perfect working order, as is the lower pebbled Spring clip. Majority of the light blue protective felt remains to the reverse of the teardrop. A rare pice and the perfect accompaniment to item 51513!!

Lower push in clip is also pebbled alluminium and functions perfectly. This type of hanger was worn extensively with the early first model Luftwaffe flyers dagger, but today is a rare survivor. Some loss of stitching which has allowed the front and rear dark blue leather faces to begin to separate, but otherwise in good worn condition.

Third Reich NSDAP Armband Unknown provenance and priced as a re-enactment piece for dressing a mannequin.

Third Reich NSDAP Armband An original SA -Wehrmannschaften Armelbinde or military defence/team sports armband. The “SA -Wehrmannschaft” (SA -Military-defense-training-groups) were formed in January 1939 as a response to Hitler’s decree for the SA to provide pre- and post-military defense training to all civilian males aged from 18 to 65 years old. Effectively a Home Guard comprised of those deemed unfit for regular military service due to age or partial infirmity, they wore a distinctive armband which incorporated the “SA -Wehrabzeichen” (SA Sports-badge) which, after July 1942, was restricted to wear on civilian clothing. In perfect ondition and having a perfect RZM tag to the inner surface. Difficult to find in this condition.

Third Reich NSFK Flyers Dagger-Helbig These small scale knives are very appealing, normally seen with nickel/plated fittings on DLV issued daggers, later NSFK production featured a full aluminium construction. The grip and the scabbard have been finished with a “crackle” finish to simulate a pebbled Moroccan leather, and it works astonishingly well. Once painted, it’s difficult to tell, without handling the piece, that this is a fraud! No damage to two stage pommel or crossguard. Centre block features a gold painted swastica to both sides. This finish is perfect. A leather blade washer is present beneath the crossguard. Blade grades near mint having no damage, a sharp point and all crossgrain. The Helbig logo adorns the reverse ricasso. Scabbard has no damage with near perfect paint. Satin finish aluminium fittings have all screws present, the upper having the organisations “Icarus” logo stamped in. The leather covered aluminium hanger is present, the leather being somewhat worn but not to the extent where it exposes the aluminium strap support beneath. Attached to the unmarked spring clip is a maker marked and dated belt loop featuring an aluminium “D” ring. Hard piece to find in this condition.

Third Reich NSFK Flyers Dagger-Helbig Excellent example of the scarcer “crackle finish” all aluminium dagger by the only accepted producer F & A Helbig. Two stage pommel with a couple of minor hits to the periphery. All metal grip having the rough, imitation leather finish which has been painted in blue. Fine cast aluminium crossguard having perfect black painted swasticas to the central block -these swasticas are sometimes found in gold paint. Beneath the crossguard a thin, pebbled blue leather blade washer remains in place. Blade in excellent condition with full crossgrain and the Helbig maker mark to the reverse ricasso. Metal Scabbard in similar “crackle” finish which has been painted to match the grip and has no loss of colour or chipping and imitates a leather finish perfectly. Upper fitting is stamped with the “Icarus” acceptance stamp and retains both its side mounted, flush screws as does the lower fitting. Attached to the upper fitting scabbard ring is a leather covered, aluminium hanger having an unmarked aluminium spring clip attached. This redesign of the suspension was an attempt to combat the flimsiness of the original, all leather version. Overall an excellent example of the later produced flyers dagger worthy of inclusion in any collection.

Third Reich NSKK Chained Leaders Dagger-Eickhorn This dagger appears never to have been apart, having an undamaged pommel nut and perfectly fitted Crossguards. These are the plated variety and have lost some finish, mainly adjacent to the grip. SA rune and grip eagle are perfectly inset, the eagle having fine details to the wings and breast feathering. Blade has undamaged edges and a perfect tip with some age to the surfaces, much of which could be carefully cleaned. “Alles fúr Deutschland” motto is deeply etched to the obverse, whilst the reverse is stamped RZM M7/66 1938, along with the Eickhorn 35-41 trademark. Black painted scabbard retains much of its original finish with age spidering beneath. Fittings have all screws present and the lower ball is undented. Chain is correctly attached, having well defined links, one of which is correctly stamped with the NSKK Musterschütz information. Upper spring clip has lost its clip. Dagger does not seat all the way into the scabbard, sitting proud by no more than 1mm. , possibly due to an obstruction at the bottom of the scabbard, paper perhaps??

Third Reich NSKK Marine Leaders Dagger-Eickhorn The guilded version of the chained NSKK leaders dagger has been assigned to those ranking officers of the service who assisted with the motorised transport associated with the lakes, rivers and tributaries of the Reich, and is a very rare item. With many post war “modified” pieces on the market, finding a period issued example is a collector minefield. This dagger however is totally period, having remnants of the correct copper/gold finish over its fittings and chain suspension system. Dagger itself is an Eickhorn produced, RZM marked piece which appears never to have been apart. Crossguards fit the grip like a glove, and have deep accent grooves and much of the guilded finish remaining. Fruitwood grip is perfect having the high centre ridge we associate with Eickhorn RZM pieces and perfectly fit SA rune and political eagle. Blade has age staining to both reverse and obverse, as is often seen with items that have spent much of their working life close to water. Tip however is sharp and the motto black and crisp. The reverse ricasso is marked “RZM M7/66” and “1939”. Black scabbard paint is in fine condition with plenty of “spidering” to testify to its age. Scabbard fittings retain much of their gold finish, particularly to the reverse and have all retaining screws. Chain links are well defined and undamaged, the upper links being stamped “RZM M5/8” for Assmann, and “NSKK Musterschütz Korpsfuhrung”. The suspension has lost its spring over time- a simple repair. Much of the original finish remains on the links, especially on the reverse. Finding a proper, period version of this dagger type is very difficult, beware of any that look too perfect!

Third Reich Photograph Album to include \"Dr Robert Ley\" Cruise Ship An interesting family album of photographs commencing with a family holiday to Switzerland in the 1932 and concluding with wedding groups of Officers with uniforms, swords etc. What raises this album above the norm is the inclusion of photos taken from, and onboard, the Dr Robert Ley, a ship launched to prove to the German workers the truth behind the KFD organisation, who considered that: "The purpose of the ‘Kraft durch Freude’ organisation is to show the less fortunate the wonders and beauties of their nation. It opens opportunities to the people that formerly were reserved for the well-to-do." Launched in 1938 and handed over to the DAF organisation on March 24th 1939 to offer cruise ship sailing to the masses, she served in this role for a mere two months before being used for transporting soldiers back from Spain following the Spanish Civil War, and by August of 1939 she was re commissioned as a hospital ship to serve the Wehrmacht. The photos included in this album can therefore be accurately dated to April or May 1939, and considering this short time "Robert Ley" spent in service, must be considered somewhat rare.

Third Reich Pioneer Battalion Publication. Published in 1942, this magazine has great pictures of the battalion in action, and also has photos of the many Knights Cross winners who served. All in the German language.

Third Reich Pioneer Bayonet-Selheimer This long bayonet has the foreshortened crossguard which has become known as the Pioneer version, and is in excellent condition. Some minor bumps to pommel which has an operating push button. All finish remaining to backstrap and crossguard. A red felt plug remains in the rifle slot. Chequered grips in fine condition secured by domed headed rivets. Bright plain blade with no damage to the cutting edge and no loss of plating. The makers mark is prominent on the upper reverse ricasso. Undented scabbard with majority of original finish remaining and with spidering beneath the surface paint. Excellent example of a difficult to find variation.

Third Reich Pioneer Long Dress Bayonet-Tiger Excellent complete "pioneer" dress bayonet rig having the benefit of a maker marked frog and a most unusual maker/depot marked Luftwaffe trodell. Most of the bright finish remains to the short "pioneer" style crossguard, backstrap and pommel, which has an operating push button. Chequered grips are retained by domed rivets, reverse grip has a small chip to the upper quadrant. Bright blade has one minor nick to the edge and has the "prowling tiger" logo to the obverse ricasso, with the makers name and location prominent to the reverse ricasso. Black painted scabbard is in excellent condition with only one minuscule paint chip to the obverse. Black "Cavalry" style leather frog is of four rivet construction having a leather grip strap in the upper section. The makers/distributors name and location are stamped to the reverse, being "Overhoff & Cie Ludenschied 1940" . Wrapped about the frog is a Lufrwaffe knot having a grey leather strap with date and Flak regiment stamping to the reverse.

Third Reich Pioneer Regiment Command Flag Command flags and pennants of German Army formations are in the color of the branch or Waffenfarbe —white for armour (Panzer), green for mechanized infantry (Panzergrenadiere), red for artillery, etc.— with black markings. The pioneers have black as their Waffenfarbe and therefore the markings are changed to white, hence the white band. In excellent condition without tears or loss of stitching. A little grubby with age. Perfect metal frame. 12 x 8 inches.

Third Reich Police Bayonet A fine example of a “cut down” bayonet bearing the name “Heinrich Brecht, Munster” on the reverse ricasso. Origins of this name are unknown, perhaps a supplier contracted to carry out the shortening process, or distributor, or even a military outfitter in Munster. This Police Bayonet is one of the rarely seen examples produced in brass. The brass had a gilded finish when it was first produced, and is of the type without rifle slot. Pommel, backstrap and crossguard are in fine condition, the reverse crossguard being stamped “ K.H.7.” Stag grip plates have nice age toning and have the additional fixing hole frequently seen on Weimar bayonets which have suffered the shortening process. A open winged police insignia is correctly pinned to the obverse plate. Unsharpened blade in fine condition having all the plating remaining and a sharp tip. Black scabbard leather has twin decorative lines to both sides and is sewn to the rear. Scabbard mounts are secured with staples and undented, the upper fitting having a centrally placed throat screw to the obverse, and the matching “K.H.7.” above. Black leather frog is excellent having minor cracking around the lug hole. A Troddel, in the correct tie, is wrapped about the “waist” of the frog.

Third Reich Police Bayonet Frog Sometimes seen with hunting cutlasses, these specific frogs were designed to accompany the Municipal and Rural police bayonet. Adjustable by means of a fixed bobbin and of some ten inches in length, this example is in excellent condition having only some minor loss of covering to the brass scabbard hook and complete with the often missing cross strap Fine example.

Third Reich Police Bayonet-Eickhorn This bayonet is of the smaller proportion type and has a hilt made completely from alluminium. The detailing to the pommel and to the crossguard is excellent, having overlapping feathering to the eagle head and overlapping oak leaves to the quillion. The grip plates are very fine antler. They have deep, rich brown tones and good "grain". Attached to the obverse plate is an open aluminum Police insignia, which retains fine detailing throughout. Bright blade has minor loss of plating but has no damage and a needle sharp tip. To the upper reverse ricasso is the '35--'41 Eickhorn makers mark. A thick leather blade washer remains beneath the crossguard. Leather scabbard has twin decorative lines to the obverse with a seam to the reverse. This scabbard is still sound but has a crease approximately half way along its length. Upper and lower scabbard fittings retain all their silver finish and are still solidly attached with rivets. An obstruction in the scabbard prevents the blade being pushed fully home, leaving at most 2mm protruding. Difficult to find variation by the best of the period manufacturers.

Third Reich Police Bayonet-Weyersburg This maker is not commonly seen on police bayonets and represents an early conversion from the Weimar period sidearm. Eagles head pommel has fine overlapping feather decoration and "eye" and demonstrates the usually seen minor indentations to the spine area indicating use as an improvised hammer. Crossguard is finely detailed having oak leaves and the number "19" to the reverse. Grip plates are fine stag, having domed rivets. Unfortunately the police grip insignia has gone to time, but would be simple to replace once a suitable replacement has been sourced. Period cut down blade is in fine condition having the early Paul Weyersburg makers stamp to the reverse ricasso. Black leather scabbard has the usual twin line decoration to the obverse with a reverse seam. There are a couple of random holes to the scabbard leather suggesting that the missing grip eagle could once have been placed on the scabbard ??? Upper and lower fittings are in fine shape and would benefit from some gentle cleaning as would the scabbard leather. Brown leather frog is the four rivet version having sound leather and stitching and would benefit from some leather polish. Overall a good example from a less frequently seen manufacturer.

Third Reich Police Officers Bayonet-WKC This police bayonet is in very nice condition throughout and is the type that has the mortise button with rifle slot. The eagle head silhouette pommel is in fine condition with much enhancement to the feathering. Grip plates are not the “ cut down “ types and are attached with dome headed rivets. Minor loss of finish to the backstrap but no signs of misuse. The grip insignia is the aluminum open style showing no wear at all featuring the open wing police eagle clutching a wreathed swastika superimposed over a wreath of oak leaves. Plated blade in mint condition having the “Knights Head” logo to the reverse ricasso and a brown leather blade washer. The scabbard has very fine black leather featuring the two lines on each side that run down the length of the edges and sewn up the rear. The nickel scabbard mounts are in excellent condition having scalloped edges, and with numbers visible beneath the staples. The black leather frog is in superb condition being of four rivet construction and with what appears to be an “RB” code stamped to the rear. A period portepee is wrapped about the scabbard in the correct tie. Fine example.

Third Reich Police Officers Sword Portepee In near mint condition, this portepee consists of a flat strap, interwoven free slide, metal alloy based stem, crown and ball. The portepee is wood based and wrapped in silver/aluminum wire threads. The slide and strap are black, red and silver. The bottom has a recessed hole that shows a red, white and black "cats annus" pattern. Probably the best available at this price.

Third Reich Police Uniform Patch This oval patch is of two piece construction, being material to the front and felt to the rear. An open wing eagle clutching a swastika surrounded by an oak leaf wreath adornes the obverse. Eagle is pink with grey highlighting. This cloth badge was part of a large collection of assorted militaria purchased some years ago. All the daggers in this collection proved to be of the period, and we have no reason to assume these badges are any different, however we have no expertise in this field and would be grateful for any information received.

Third Reich Political Dagger “Schraubenschlüssel” Miniature wrench used to disassemble political style daggers, in this case manufactured by the Puma-Werk company of Solingen. The brown finish appears to be hardened storage grease rather than rust, and would probably clean off to leave a mint item.wartime shop surplus

Third Reich Pottery from Berghof This glazed porcelain tile was excavated at the site of Hitlers Berghof near Berchtesgarden in Southern Bavaria. The makers mark of \"H & Co Selb\" is positioned beneath a political eagle and dated 1938. Franz Heinrich started his porcelain painting business in Bavaria in 1896. He constructed a mufffle kiln in his parent\'s house. Initially just one female worker was helping him. Five years later in 1901 he started producing his own whiteware. Porzellanfabrik Heinrich located in the city of Selb became one of the largest porcelain producers in Germany. Franz Heinrich died in 1928. In 1929 Heinrich & Co took over another Selb factory, Gräf & Krippner. In the 1930s there were 500 employees in the Heinrich factory. In 1945 the company resumed production, and in the 1970s employment rose to 800. In 1976 Heinrich Porzellan GmbH became a part of Villeroy & Boch. A unique opportunity to own a part of Hitlers home!

Third Reich Press Photo Dated January 1938, this 10x8 press photo is a superb study of Goerings uniform and accoutrements, to include not just his Field Marshall Baton but the fabulous wedding sword. This sword was custom made by Eickhorn, designed by Paul Casberg and presented to the groom on the occasion of his second marriage. The crossguard features the Luftwaffe insignia, the stylized pommel features the order Pour Le Mérite which Göring was awarded during the First World War. The sword was richly encrusted with gems and gold-plated elements. The scabbard was covered with light-blue sharkskin imitating the color of the Luftwaffe parade uniform. Tremendous photo!

Third Reich RAD Badge A cap badge worn by female members of the Reichsarbeitsdienst. Period pin correctly attached to the reverse.

Third Reich RAD Hewer Early Hanger This leather hanger is a fine example of the first style which would have accompanied the “full stag” ,and early all nickel Hewer. The fragility of the leather attachment soon became obvious and this design was soon superseded, therefore to find one in any condition is difficult. This piece shows wear from use, but is still in outstanding condition with some surface cracking and minor tearing to the lower loop which carried the substantial weight of the Hewer. Eastern European copies of this accoutrement abound, but here is a fine period original in most collectible condition.

Third Reich RAD Leader Dagger Straps These Asmann marked brown leather hangers are in excellent condition, having sound leather and perfect stitching. There is some minor age cracking to the surface finish but this does not detract from the desirability of these rare hangers. Pebbled buckles and slides are perfect whilst the correctly operating lower push-in clips have lost their finish. Never commonplace, RAD hangers in this condition are now almost impossible to locate.

Third Reich RAD Leaders Dagger Hangers A slightly unconventional set of hangers for the officers dagger, having deluxe Luftwaffe spring clips in place of those normally seen. There is no evidence of post war replacement or tampering, so we must assume that this anomaly occurred during the period, perhaps due to personal preference of the owner, or lack of the normal clips at the manufacturer. Whatever the explanation, this set are clearly period made and in excellent condition, even having remnants of the felt backing material to the reverse. Accompanying this set is a purpose made leather belt loop which matches the leather strap’s perfectly, and demonstrates just the right amount of wear to show these have been together forever. Perfect set for the collector who appreciates the period, but unconventional nature of these accessories.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger Belt Loop What a difficult accoutrement to find! This period produced hanger has perfect leather and stitching, and incorporates a uniform protector flap. The spring clip operates perfectly and is marked with the stylised “A” for the maker “Assmann & Sohne” and with the RAD acceptance stamp dated 1937. Super rare item

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger Belt Loop Hanger Such a rare accoutrement, impossible to find any more in this near mint state. Single piece of tan leather folded and stitched to form a uniform protector to the rear and holding the unique RAD spring clip to the front. Stitched in the centre to form a loop suitable for the webbing underbelt. Stamped to the reverse of the uniform protector section is the makers name “Otto Sindel Berlin”, the date 1935, and the RAD triangular patent stamp.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger Hangers-Assmann Stiff, brown leather straps are in perfect condition, retaining a gloss finish to the surfaces. Upper box clip and pebbled buckles have the stylised “A” mark of the prestigious Assmann company. Lower spring clips are the pebbled “push-in” variety and operate perfectly. All stitching intact with only light signs of period use. Super set, and very hard to obtain in the current market.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger Leather Hangers A good, standard set of hangers, maker marked to “Assmann” on all the fittings. If this set were originally equipped with felt backings (not all were) it has worn away over time. Leather and stitching in fine condition. What makes this set so remarkable-and just a little scary-is the accompanying letter dated 2003 indicating the removal of the hangers from the infamous Belsen concentration camp. Remarkable provenance.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger-Alcoso Finding a good one of these is becoming increasingly difficult, the majority had the blueing cleaned from the scabbards back in the day by ignorant and over enthusiastic collectors and dealers. This example not only has the blue finish remaining in the stippled scabbard panel, but retains all of the original varnish not just to the scabbard but to the crossguard and hilt fittings. There is no blade washer present as is the norm with these weapons. Eagle head pommel remains crisp and highly detailed with just a little bubbling of the finish and has a wonderful patina built up from years of caressing by the owner. Off white grips are correctly fixed by a countersunk screw and have no chips or cracks, just a few mild scratches. The RAD “spade and wheatsheaf” emblem to the obverse crossguard is highly detailed. Crossguard has patinated beautifully where the air has penetrated the lacquer coating. Bright blade appears to be the plated version and is in near mint condition having no nics to the edges and a dark grey “Arbeit Adelt” motto to the obverse which quite correctly extends very slightly into the fuller. The Alcoso “scales” trademark is crisply stamped into the reverse ricasso. As previously mentioned scabbard is completely mint having small areas of dark patina due to air penetration beneath the lacquer. Both throat screws are present and appear unturned. If your looking for an example to be proud of that will not need upgrading, this is it.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger-Herder Richard Herder were the only recognised maker of daggers having an orange grip. The grip plates on this piece are correctly attached with a single countersunk reverse screw. The reverse plate has a crack, and is slightly lighter in colour than the obverse. Eagle head pommel, ferrule and crossguard are finely detailed with no damage and appear to be of aluminium. Bright blade has no damage but has some signs of age beneath the surface. The Richard A Herder logo is visible on the obverse ricasso. The “work enobles” motto is nicely etched into the obverse blade. Steel based Scabbard has a silvered finish to the pebbled panel with most of the darkening remaining to the wheat sheaf embellishment to the upper and lower panels.

Third Reich RAD Officers Dagger-WKC Introduced in 1938 as an upgrade for officers who originally wore the heavier, stag gripped Hewer, this WKC example is in excellent condition having most of the finish remaining to the eagle head pommel, ferrule and crossguard. The base metal of these pieces is notorious for not retaining its silvered finish so finding an example so complete is quite unusual. A single countersunk bolt retains the ivory coloured grips which are in perfect undamaged condition. It’s likely that removing these grips would reveal an assembly number stamped into the blade tang, and a corresponding number written in pencil on the grip itself. Sometimes the assemblers initials can also be seen. An exciting exploration we will leave for the next owner should he feel so inclined! The bolo shaped blade has no damage a perfect tip and much crossgrain, and apart from some minor marks from where the runners have gripped the blade, is in near mint condition. As is the norm with these pieces there is no blade washer. The “work ennobles” motto is darkly etched into the obverse blade whilst the WKC knights head logo appears on the reverse ricasso. Scabbard is undamaged and has most of its silvered finish remaining, with a portion of the bluing on the centre panel on both obverse and reverse. Some original lacquer remains predominantly to the the lower chape area. Overall an excellent example of a dagger type which is becoming very difficult to acquire in any condition.

Third Reich RAD Underbelt Brown webbing belt with brown leather attachments. Near mint condition. 85cm length

Third Reich Railway Leaders Dagger Hangers A fine set of “Bahnschütz” Officer ( in the grade of Oberzugführer and above) dagger hangers.

Third Reich Red Cross Leaders Dagger Hangers Excellent set having a plain finish to the top clip, oval buckles, slides and push-in lower clips.

The metal fittings are made of aluminium, and all of the clips and buckles are complete and functional.

In excellent condition with ink signatures, and only minor foxing and aging to the external cover. A fine set to complement a Bahnschutz collection.

Third Reich RLB 2nd Model Subordinate Dagger-Weyersberg Wooden grip with very minor damage adjacent to the grip, indicative of over tightening of the pommel in the past, otherwise in exceptional condition. 2nd model grip insignia is correctly attached and has some loss of the black enamel to one leg of the swastica. Crossguard has fine undamaged arms and a detailed “art deco” style eagle clutching a mobile swastica which has a fine pebbled background. Excellent crossgraining to the bright blade which has no hits to the edges and a sharp tip. The Weyersberg logo is beautifully executed on the reverse ricasso. Black scabbard has virtually all of its finish with some “spidering” in the paint proving its originality. Lower fitting has both fitting screws present and is undamaged. Attached to the triangular scabbard ring is the remains of the hanger which has gone to time-the norm with these daggers as the suspension method was barely sufficient for the weight of the dagger, an unusual design fault!

Third Reich RLB Dagger Hangers Stunning set of extremely rare leather hangers for the 2nd model RLB Officers dagger in virtually mint condition. Leather has no cracks or tears and retains all its decorative and functional stitching and is still stiff. Upper, pebbled box clip with attached spring clip in excellent condition and marked “D.R.G.M.” and “RZM M5/10” to the rear. Lower, deluxe push up fittings are perfect as are the oak leaf decorated slides and buckles. A superb set, complete with a belt loop having a “D” ring marked “RZM M5 11”. Probably the best set of RLB hangers you will ever see.

Third reich RLB Door Plaque Silvered plaque some 3 inches in diameter. Most silvering remains to the base metal pressing, no damage to fixing holes. Excellent to display with related Luftschütz paraphernalia

Third Reich RLB First Model Subordinate Dagger-Witte Both the first and second model subordinate daggers are equipped with black painted or lacquered grips which are subject to chipping and wear, the grip on this piece however is in excellent condition, having a correctly pinned insignia with the majority of the blue enamel remaining. Pommel retains much of its silvering, as does the “art deco” Crossguard with eagle and mobile swastica. Much crossgrain remains to the bright blade which has some minor age staining but a sharp tip and no damage to the edges. The Witte “Kroneck” trademark is on the reverse ricasso, and a thin black blade washer is in place beneath the crossguard. Majority of black finish remains to the scabbard which has an undented lower fitting with both screws present. A triangular scabbard ring holds a correctly attached leather hanger which encloses an “OLC” marked spring clip.

Third Reich RLB Medical Pouch with Contents Unusual to find a “Luftschutz” marked leather medical pouch, particularly one with contents, and a contents list on the inside line. Leather in fine condition, contents not necessarily that which is defined on the contents list. Profusely marked

Third Reich RLB Membership Badge Fine quality enamelled badge, maker and “Ges. Gesh. marked to the rear.

Third Reich RLB Membership Plaque Thinly stamped metal some three inches in diameter. All blackening complete behind the lettering and all blue paint to the RLB insignia. Mint.

Third Reich RLB Second Model RLB Officer Dagger- Weyersberg Superb example of the 2nd model dagger, which has all the attributes of being a converted first model, a frequent occurrence during the period. First indicators of conversion are the quality of the heavy solid nickel fittings, and the presence of a waffenampt on the end of the crossguard arm and the scabbard throat. Crossguard eagle and mobile swastica are well formed having no hits or other damage. Crossguard arms are undamaged having much darkening remaining in the recesses. Wood based grip has beautifully grained Moroccan leather with an almost indiscernible vertical join. Attached to the grip is the second version of the RLB insignia having all the black enamel to the swastica. Pommel cap is nicely vaulted and retains much of the factory darkening to the peripheral decorative inset. Plated blade is mint, having the typical thin black leather washer and the Weyersberg logo to the reverse ricasso. Matching Moroccan leather to the scabbard is in fine condition having no damage and only minor pressure depressions to the surface. All screws are present to the scabbard fittings (lower screw appears to be a period replacement) which are in fine condition. Overall a superb example of the type of “Art Deco” style dagger, which would be a perfect match with the hangers available on the site.

Third Reich SA Brown Leather Belt Loop/ Hanger A rare hanger composing an elliptical double ended loop which could have been worn on the belt offering a connection for the cross strap combined with a lower "D" ring for a dagger or other accessory.

Third Reich SA Dagger- Anton Wingen Transitional What a lovely piece! Crossguards appear to be the zinc style with deep accent grooves and are devoid of any gau markings. Fruitwood grip has a highly polished finish with the SA rune button and political eagle correctly inset, and fits the crossguards perfectly. Bright blade is in near mint condition having a superb light grey “Alles für Deutschland” motto etched into the obverse face. The reverse ricasso sports the RZM mark “M7/51 1938” and the standing knight logo of the Anton Wingen concern. Brown painted scabbard has one tiny paint fleck to the obverse but is otherwise perfect. Fittings are in excellent condition and appear to be of plated steel. All scabbard screws are present. A standout transitional.

Third Reich SA Dagger-Becker Excellent “from the woodwork” SA having the desirable “chef with knife and fork” maker mark of Gebruder Becker to the reverse ricasso. Entire dagger is covered with a yellow/brown patina (nicotine?) and fits together perfectly having no signs of ever being apart. Crossguards in excellent condition, the lower being stamped “No” to the reverse. Grip has some minor chipping to both upper and lower crossguard areas, but perfectly inset rune and eagle. Bright blade is in excellent condition having some minor denting to the edges which can only be felt, not seen. Scabbard has minor signs of age beneath the surface finish but no edge dents. Upper fitting has lost a screw (available elsewhere on this site) and has taken a hit to the lower edge. Lower fitting has both screws and a minor dent to the ball. Nice early SA which has never been in a collection.

Third Reich SA Dagger-Ground Röhm Nice early dagger has solid upper and lower crossguards having fine edges and crisp, deep accent grooves. Lower guard is stamped "Sw" to the reverse. Dark brown fruitwood grip, which fits the crossguards perfectly, has correctly inset SA rune and political eagle to the obverse face, while the reverse of the grip has a vertical crack emanating from the centre of the upper crossguard. Full length blade has one small Nick to the upper edge but remains otherwise bright with crisp motto to the obverse. Reverse of the blade has been factory repolished eliminating all traces of the offending Röhm dedication. A minuscule portion of the makers mark remains which appears to be of the F Dick" concern. Brown anodised scabbard has most finish remaining with evidence of surface rust. Scabbard fittings are in excellent condition having all screws in place and apparently unturned. Lower fitting has a perfect, undented ball. Overall a fine example of a factory, fully ground Röhm presentation dagger.

Third Reich SA Dagger-Ground Röhm Aesculap This early example comes from one of the few makers of SA daggers not based in Solingen, and is a recognised supplier of Röhm presentation pieces. It has excellent crossguards having deep accent grooves with one minor age spot on the reverse of the lower guard adjacent to the "Sw" gau mark. Grip is damage free having correctly inset SA rune and political style eagle. Bright blade retains much crossgraining to the obverse, whilst the reverse has been expertly ground to remove the offending Röhm dedication, leaving only a small part of the "Aesculap Tuttlingen" makers logo. Anodised scabbard retains the majority of its finish with only minor age signs throughout. Scabbard fittings retain all fixing screws which appear unturned. Lower ball is slightly misshapen. Excellent historic example of an early dagger having remnants of the "Röhm Purge"

Third Reich SA Dagger-Weyersberg After 80+ years, truly mint daggers are a myth or a reproduction, but this late SA is as close as it gets. Crossguards show no loss of plating whatsoever, remaining bright and unblemished. Fruitwood grip has no damage and a perfectly inset SA rune and political eagle which has highly detailed wing and leg feathering, showing no wear at all. Bright blade has prominent crossgrain and the usual “ in out” markings with minor age spots. The “Alles für Deutschland” motto is deeply etched and retains all its dark grey background. The Weyersberg code “RZM M7/43” is deeply etched to the reverse ricasso. Scabbard retains all its brown finish without scrapes or knocks. Fittings have all screws present, the lower fitting having no dents to the ball. Closest to “Mint” RZM period dagger you’re likely to find.

Third Reich SA Marine Belt Loop This remarkable hanger is constructed of very dark brown leather which has a gilded and pebbled alluminium "D" ring riveted into the lower loop.

A rare accoutrement

Third Reich SA Marine Dagger-Häker Whilst the origin of these daggers is still disputed, this dagger does not exhibit the hand painted characteristics of an NSKK dagger, but exhibits a black stained grip and anodised scabbard, making it a good candidate for an SA marine example. Solid nickel crossguards without gau mark. Grip with perfectly inset rune and aluminium eagle. Bright blade in excellent condition with no damage to the edges and a sharp tip. Superb, black motto to the obverse with the rare Häker maker mark of bowler hatted man carrying an adze over his shoulder. The Gust. Häker, Stahlwarenfabrik, began in 1918. That same year it registered its trademark. Gust. Häker officially registered with the Solingen chamber of commerce on April 21, 1920. Scabbard is undented and complete with nickel fittings.

Third Reich Shooting award This most unusual and attractive shooting award appears to be of bronze and is quite heavy. Some five inches in diameter,the award was clearly given by the shooting organisation in Westfalen for a shooting competition in this gau, as the horse motif on the obverse of the medal forms part of the coat of arms for Westfalia, as confirmeb by the presentation inscription on the reverse. Details of the winner of this prize appear in a raised area of the reverse, but most of this information is now unreadable. A fascinating piece worthy of further research

Third Reich SS Dagger Quality Control Tag Triangular RZM tag which once adorned the grip of an SS dagger and guaranteed that the piece met or exceeded the quality expected of items leaving the factory.

Perfect way to complete your prized SS dagger.

Third Reich SS Dagger RZM Grip Tag Another item of such rarity that we have never seen another! These paper tags were attached to the grips of political style daggers (SS in this case) ensuring that the piece had passed the rigorous inspection requirements of the RZM and could be traced to point of origin in the case of problems. Naturally, on first use these tags were discarded and lost to time. Very occasionally an unissued dagger will be found with tag still attached, but even then the tag itself is normally torn and faded with use and time. This tag is in mint condition with complete metal clip and undamaged paper. If your lucky enough to posses a mint SS, or particularly a Himmler SS dagger, then this accessory will lift your prized artefact into the stratosphere!

Third Reich Wartime Höller Catalogue This original period copy of the Höller catalogue is dated 1941 and differs from the earlier dated version in our list in several interesting details, for instance the HJ knife listed no longer displays the motto on the blade, and in this edition a Government Official dagger is illustrated. Items shown in a supplement in the '37 edition of the catalogue are included in the main body in this edition. Some rusting to the staples causing the covers to be loose, but complete with all coloured plates and otherwise in excellent condition.

Straps are gold faced with twin blue/black stripes with dark blue velvet backings. Upper box clip resembles the Government officials version, but is gilded. Buckles and slides are oak leaf adorned, lower fittings are push-in and pebbled. These fittings are also gold washed. A very rare set of dagger hanging straps.

Third Reich Water Protection Police Dagger-Eickhorn This dagger type is particularly rare, with no more than a few hundred being manufactured. The Water Protection Police uniform was finalized, after several organizational and uniform iterations, on May 25, 1936. A dagger was introduced for wear by Water Protection Police Officers, Administrative Officers, and Officer Candidates within the Water Protection Police in 1937, but it was not officially established until 1938. Prior to the introduction of the dagger, the Navy Sabre was worn by Water Protection Police personnel. From 1938 onward, the Water Protection Police Dagger and Navy Sabre were both permitted for wear with the Water Protection Police service and dress uniforms. Guilded, flaming ball style pommel in fine condition with prominent upper protrusion. Wood based grip is covered in blue Moroccan leather with the addition of twin, twisted brass wire decorative banding. Leather is in fine condition with wear commensurate with period use. A police eagle insignia is fixed through the grip and mounted externally. Standard navy style crossguard is in perfect condition, having the blade retaining button to the reverse. A period original, and very rare, Wasserschutzpolizei portepee is wrapped about the Crossguard and grip in the correct tie.

A red blade washer remains in place beneath the crossguard. The Eickhorn “over the shoulder” squirrel trademark is stamped into the reverse ricasso. The standard navy “lightning bolt” scabbard has fine guilding and correctly attached bands and rings. The scabbard has suffered a couple of “train door” dents during service, but, considering the rarity and value of this piece, it may be worth the new owner commissioning someone to remove the dents (Wittmann?) and so restore this item to pristine condition. One of the rarest of the daggers produced during the third Reich, and missing from all but the most advanced collections. To complete this piece, correct hangers are available elsewhere in this listing.

Presumably this is a copy of the original target ( which would of course have had many more holes!) which would have hung in the officers mess. An open winged eagle with swastica adorns the upper edge, whilst the reverse is ink stamped "1943" A marvellous piece to embellish your collecting room.

Third Reich “Red Cross” Officers Dagger These DRK Officers daggers have been divided into “Red Cross” and Social Welfare” types by collectors over the years, the former having rectangular carrying holes in the scabbard rings, the latter having round ones. The reality is that these differences are purely manufacturers variations of the same dagger type: the difference between the two branches of service is distinguished by the carrying straps only. (Both types available on this website) The tang nut cover plate on this example has some damage to the screwdriver slots, but not at all bad. Removing this plate gives access to the tang nuts hidden beneath. Orange grip in perfect condition and beautiful toning. Crossguard in fine condition having no loss of finish.

Black leather blade washer remains within the recess of the crossguard.

Excellent detail with very minor imperfections to black enamel. During the First World War, the Swastika was adopted by the National War Savings Committee, who issued war bonds at 15s.6d. (15 Shillings & six pence) each. The bond in effect was a loan to the Government, to help fund the war. Advertising slogans stated that "for 15/6 124 cartridges could be bought for a soldier at the front." The value of the bond would increase annually so that after five years, it would be worth a Sovereign (£1 and one shilling sterling). If need be, it could be cashed in earlier by the investor. However 15/6 was a large sum of money for many poorer families so 6d (six pence) savings stamps were issued (also with a Swastika on them) which could be purchased weekly or whenever people could afford them. After thirty-one stamps had been bought, the bond or certificate was issued. There were also small square enamel badges, which were of a similar design as the stamps, and were given to the stamp sellers to wear.

WW2 British Fire Axe The Auxiliary Fire Service (AFS) was first formed in 1938 in Great Britain as part of the Civil Defence Service. Its role was to supplement the work of brigades at local level. In this job it was hampered severely by the incompatibility of equipment used by these different brigades — most importantly the lack of a standard size of hydrant valve! Despite its size and weight, this large utility axe was considered an item of portable equipment, contained within its protective leather case which could be attached to a waist belt via loops on the reverse. This example bears the stamping of the Auxilliary Fire Service and the number 20099. An excellent example showing only mild wear commensurate with age and use.

WW2 Field produced Soldering Tool This fascinating item appears to be a field produced soldering or braising tool, consisting of a wad filled copper tube set inside a 1942 dated 20mm cannon shell case. Presumably the shell case would have been filled with petrol? Which would have burned through the wad or wick forming a very hot base on top of the tube. The external tube would have allowed the introduction of oxygen? to increase the temperature of the burn. A superb example of "Tommy" ingenuity in the field.

Ww2 German Battalion Marked Schnapps Cup A most unusual piece being marked to a corps rather than an individual, and would presumably have been used in an officers mess, forming part of the silverware for the battalion. Markings are "Uffz.-Korps Fla.Rak. Btl.22" To the base is a makers mark of the letters WMF within a stylised square. A fascinating piece of history worthy of further research.

Ww2 German Gauleiters Armband This amazingly rare armband is believed to have belonged to a Senior Political Nazi Party Leader from Allenstein in East Prussia. This government region was created on 1 November 1905 as the third East Prussian Regierungsbezirk out of the southern districts of the two original administrative regions,Gumbinnen and Königsberg, which had been established in 1815. It comprised the south of the former Duchy of Prussia; the lands of the Allenstein and Rößel districts had belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Warmia, annexed by Prussia in 1772. In 1920 all the Allenstein Region plus the District of Oletzko was part of the Allenstein Plebiscite precinct, with the electorate voting for remaining with Germany by more than 97%. Erich Koch (19 June 1896 – 12 November 1986) was a Gauleiter of the Nazi Party in East Prussia from 1928 until 1945. Between 1941 and 1945 he was Chief of Civil Administration (Chef der Zivilverwaltung) of Bezirk Bialystok. During this period, he was also the Reichskommissar in Ukraine. After the Second World War, Koch stood trial for war crimes in Poland and was convicted in 1959. He was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to life imprisonment the following year.

WW2 German Puttees Complete in the original transport pack, these uniform Puttees appear to be factory wrapped and never worn. Ink stamped "H.M" to the ends and dated 1933 with a Wehrmacht eagle.

WW2 Kriegsmarine Divers Knife An excellent period example of what has become an incredibly rare knife. Having waffenampt stamps to both blade and body to confirm its use during the third reach period, the overall condition is quite exceptional. Brass grip retains its rubber sealing ring and black finish between the turned rings. Blade is not maker marked but is likely to me a Henckels product. Minor signs of age and use to the bright blade but no damage to the cutting edge. Tubular brass scabbard has minor signs of use as a hammer to the base but otherwise is in perfect used condition. Both screw threads on knife and scabbard are in perfect condition allowing the knife to fit to the scabbard correctly. A very difficult example to find, missing from most collections.

WW2 Mortar Clinometer Dated 1941 this instrument was used to measure the elevation of the barrels of artillery weapons, specifically in this case the Mortar. Superbly made and stamped with the crows foot MOD mark and the makers name.

WW2 Purple Heart Award This is a WW2 issue award in its original padded presentation case. The lid of the case has become detached but is still held in place by its inner lining.

Ww2 Shooting Award-WMF A most attractive and very large metal award on a beautiful woven suspension hanger.

The suspension hanger is 12 cms in length and terminates in a wall hanger similarly decorated. A very attractive item perfect for display with a collection of Hirschfängers.

WW2 Sighting Telescope Listed as being for use on 17 pdr anti tank guns, this telescope is in its original transport cardboard box and is dated 1943. The Ordnance Quick-Firing 17-pounder (or just 17-pdr) was a 76.2 mm (3 inch) gun developed by the United Kingdom during World War II. It was used as an anti-tank gun on its own carriage, as well as equipping a number of British tanks. Used with the APDS shot, it was capable of defeating all but the thickest armour on German tanks. It was used to 'up-gun' some foreign-built vehicles in British service, notably to produce the Sherman Firefly variant of the US M4 Sherman tank, giving British tank units the ability to hold their own against their German counterparts. In the anti-tank role, it was replaced after the war by the 120 mm BAT recoilless rifle. As a tank gun, it was succeeded by the 84 mm 20 pounder.

\"Wintershilfswerk\" Badges A collection of seven badges, all seemingly plastic. The Winterhilfswerk (WHW) was an annual drive by the Nationalsozialistische Volkswohlfahrt (the National Socialist People’s Welfare Organization) to help finance charitable work. Its slogan was "None shall starve nor freeze". It ran from 1933-1945 and was designed to provide food and fuel to Germans. The Hitlerjugend and Bund Deutscher Mädel (boys' and girls' associations, respectively) were extremely active in collecting for this charity. Donors were often given small souvenir gratitude gifts of negligible value, of which these are examples.
