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. Stephens to fill that initial void. Entitled "A Guide to Nazi Daggers Swords and Bayonets" it is profusely illustrated with black and white photographs and line drawings, and has very brief descriptions of many of the blades known to exist at that time. 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.

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.

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.
Long Dress Bayonet-Distributor marked This bayonet has lost some of the finish to the pommel, backstrap and cross guard but retains a working push button and good chequered grips and retaining rivets. Making this item interesting is the so far unidentified distributors marking of a right facing helmet to the Ricasso. Plated blade with evidence of sharpening but no nicks to the cutting edge. No damage to scabbard which retains much of its black painted finish. An interesting variation.

Chequered grip plates are in fine condition and are held by the offset screw arrangement typical of Pack, whose maker mark may be found on the upper reverse Ricasso. Bright plated blade is in near mint condition and has a needle like tip. Scabbard paint is near perfect to the reverse, and missing only in a very small area to the obverse which would be covered by an appropriate frog. An excellent example of a distributor marked bayonet.

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. Scabbard retains some factory lacquer and features stippled panels to obverse and reverse with an leaf decoration to the lower obverse and reverse. Scabbard bands are oak leaf decorated. A rare, possibly unique survivor marking the beginning of the democratic defence of Germany.

Third Reich Army Dagger-Kolping Kolping Daggers are not common and quite sought after due to the quality of fittings used and the detail of finish. This example has no damage to the pommel which has exceptionally well detailed oak leaf depictions. The off white pommel is made from Galalith and is undamaged. Galalith (Erinoid in the United Kingdom) 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\"). Popular in the twenties in the manufacture of Jewellery, the material was used my several dagger manufacturers for grips, until replaced by phenolic resin. Highly detailed crossguard has no damage and retains much of its darkening within the background areas. Blade has no damage to the edges or tip, but has a degree of surface staining, most of which could probably be carefully polished out. Blade washer remains within the confines of the crossguard. The Kolping “beer stein” logo features prominently to the rear ricasso. No damage to the heavily plated scabbard which has excellent stippling to the panels. Scabbard rings are securely attached and well detailed. A quality dagger which could be greatly improved with a little work.

The small Emil Voos name and mark of a snake around a tree trunk are stamped horizontally along the upper ricasso and almost hidden behind the reverse crossguard.

Bands and rings are firmly attached with mild swing wear.

It is odourless, insoluble in water, biodegradable, non-allergenic, antistatic and virtually nonflammable. Galalith was marketed in boards, pipes and rods.

Bright blade is in a near mint state, having a large double oval seated squirrel trademark stamped to the reverse ricasso.

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. The stag grip also rises upward and tilts to the left and is very tactile. Pin inserted in the center of the grip is the national hunting insignia which consists of the stag’s head with a swastika between being positioned between a sunburst. On either side of the deer’s head are the initials of the organization “DJ”. A very fine hilt here. The scabbard shell is a composition base covered by very fine grained green leather.

The triple etched 13 inch long blade is in fine condition still having its bright nickel finish with most of the frosting in the backgrounds. The spine is etched with oak leaves. The reverse ricasso is stamped with the Alcoso scales trademark. The original green blade buffer is in place. An extremely nice high quality hunting association cutlass, you’ll struggle to find a better example.

Third Reich K98 Bayonet-Coppel By its very nature, finding the K98 bayonet in anything better than “average” condition is a challenge, so to find one in near mint condition with matching frog and regimental Troddel is virtually impossible.

Pommel has been “waffenampt” and has an operating release push button. The rifle slot retains a white felt infil. Grips are securely attached with perfect, unturned retaining bolts and nuts, the grips themselves still retain the factory shine and are quite beautiful.

Third Reich Kriegsmarine Divers Knife-Henckels Period knives like this are very rare.

Consequently few survive today in anything like collectable condition. This example is in excellent condition showing signs of use, but not abuse.

Rubber sealing washer is complete despite many years of compression, and has served to protect and preserve the bright blade from seawater damage astonishingly well.

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-Wingen A rare maker indeed. Anton Wingen Junior is known for its quality across a range of Third Reich daggers, but the quantities were limited compared to Eickhorn or SMF. Finish on this example shows much hand enhancement, particularly to the pommel. Orange grip is undamaged and tightly wrapped with twin strands of brass wire. Good detailing to the hand enhanced crossguard eagle and downswept quillions. A leather blade washer remains in place in the depths of the lower crossguard. Some light greying to the blade, most of which could be simply polished out. The \"Standing Knight\" logo of the A Wingen Jr. company is stamped to the upper reverse ricasso. Scabbard has fine stippling to the panels and well defined alluminium scabbard bands and rings. For the collector who collects by maker, this must be an unmissable opportunity.
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. Bright blade has almost full length crossgraining, no damage to the edges and a needle sharp tip. The WKC knights head logo is on the reverse ricasso. 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.

Blue leather is unmarked and with perfect stitching, a little stiff from age and would benefit from "feeding".

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 Bayonet-Selheimer This long bayonet has the foreshortened crossguard which has become known as the Pioneer version, and is in excellent condition.

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.

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.

Wrapped about the frog is a Lufrwaffe knot having a grey leather strap with date and Flak regiment stamping to the reverse.

Most of the finish to the brass based eagle head pommel, backstrap and crossguard has gone to time. Stag grips in good condition with domed rivets and a correctly attached police emblem. Black leather scabbard in good condition with one small crease line to the obverse. The number “7” appears on the top scabbard mount, this number being repeated on the crossguard. Black leather frog in excellent condition with no damage to the lug hole and no loss of finish or stitching. Good piece for the budget conscious.
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 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!

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 Officer Dagger Hangers-Asmann As with almost all Third Reich sidearms, the hangers for the weapon are more difficult to acquire than the dagger itself, and this is certainly true of the RAD officers. Tan leather straps in excellent condition having no rips, tears or abrasions, securely sewn to an Asmann marked upper box clip. Pebbled buckles, slides and push-in lower spring clips are exceptionally well defined and operate perfectly. A super set.
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 “Bullet” Hanger Black leather hanger having belt loop attached. Metal spring clip is marked “ges. gesch” and “OLC” to the rear. Bullet section marked with the year 1939 and a makers name to the reverse. Excellent condition with no damage and minimal wear to the leather.

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.

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.

Lower fitting has a perfect, undented ball. Overall a fine example of a factory, fully ground Röhm presentation dagger.

The reverse ricasso has the unusual Gustav Weyersberg maker mark which is considered quite rare. Anodised scabbard has three small dents to the obverse but is in overall excellent condition. All screws are present to the fittings. An excellent dagger from an unusual manufacturer which exhibits all the traits we like to see in an early, unmessed with piece.

Third Reich SS M33 Dagger-Eickhorn Erased Röhm An interesting piece which for reasons unknown, has, at some time in its past, had its crossguards chromium plated.

Ebony grip has a number of small indentations and a small chip of missing wood adjacent to the upper obverse guard. Crossguard eagle and runes button are correctly inserted into the grip. Blade has no damage to the edges, and an almost completely and crudely erased Röhm dedication to the obverse. The correct Eickhorn squirrel trademark is still visible, placed high on the ricasso adjacent to the lower guard, as is correct for Röhm daggers. Scabbard retains all its black painted finish having no dents or other damage. Scabbard fittings have all four screws, the lower fitting having a slightly dented ball. An excellent, bargain priced erased SS Röhm dagger which would be worth considerably more if the offending chrome plating could be completely removed.

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.
WW1 British Wire Cutters Fine set of cutters marked with the MOD broad arrow mark. Wire cutters were typically stored for easy acess by the soldier on a utility belt.

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. This double sided armband is richly woven with gold thread upon a light blue and yellow background. Wear commensurate with age.

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.

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.
Yugoslav Bayonet Frog Single piece of brown leather folded and sewn to form a belt loop in the upper section. Single rivet used to retain a leather grip strap. No damage to shoe or lug hole.

Perfect condition with storage age only.
\"Stag\" Gripped Parade Bayonet This interesting bayonet appears to have imitation, probably wooden, grip plates, secured by rivets, one of which is very slightly loose. Pommel backstrap and crossguard retain most of their finish, pommel showing some signs of use a hammer. Blade washer remains beneath the crossguard protecting the short, plain, single fullered blade which retains most of its finish. There is no evidence of a maker mark to this blade. Black painted scabbard retains most of its finish and is undented. Scabbard lug is very slightly loose on the scabbard.

Donors were often given small souvenir gratitude gifts of negligible value, of which these are examples.
