MORE PICTURE & INFO
(V1056) A Rare pair of Imperial Fascist League 3rd Pattern Membership Badges. The membership badge has the lion to the top and is a circular badge with a union jack as the background with a smaller white circle and blue swastika. To date, I have only ever had 2 in 35 years. Both have had the blue swastika. This example has a nice pin, hinge and hook fitting to the back. It is unmarked. With it, comes a similar circular badge with a blue edge, white background and red enamel swastika. This is reported to be the Supporter's Badge of the IFL and again is unmarked. This one also has a nice working pin, hinge and hook fixing. With these come two Posters, one showing the membership badge being worn, the other showing the British swastika armband being worn. Both were originally in my personal collection and used in the British Fascist Regalia book. The IFL badge was originally mine and one I purchased back. This is the only set I have ever seen and these are the only posters I am aware of. This is a fantastic opportunity to acquire these ultra rare items, that will probably never come up again. More rare than the NSDAP party badges, there were fewer than 200 members, according to reference books at the time. SOLD ON 20.4.22


(CS1390) A nice Original wartime Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. This is the type manufactured by the firm of Steinhauer and Luck. The cross is the magnetic centered type and it is silver marked 935 and maker stamped "4" upside down whereas the silvered suspender loop is just "935" marked. It has all the usual features associated with this maker, being nicely soldered up with the eye loop correctly drilled out though it is slightly twisted possibly through wear. The cross weighs approximately 28 grammes and measures approximately 54.45 mm by 48.22 mm wide. The cross has nice clear crisp dates and a nice sharp swastika which is the same height as the beaded edge. There is some minor tarnish to the silver frame of the cross as well as a few paint chips to the iron core. The cross comes with a piece of original wartime ribbon being approximately 35 cm long and this is folded and good condition . All in all, a very nice cross. SORRY I AM SOLD (UK Pounds)

(CS976) A Cholm Arm Shield. This is a Nice clean example manufactured from a magnetic metal. The shield is the army version that appears to have been unworn and unused. The shield still retains much of its original lacquer although it is peeled on some of the high spots. The green backing cloth is nice and clean and has no mothing, although the nap of the cloth is a little thread bare. For an item over 70 odd years, that is very minor. The shield is then fixed through a magnetic backing plate by three prongs that are then folded over, and a secondary piece of cloth has been stuck over this. This is one of the best examples we have had in a long time. As fewer than 6,000 were issued, though more were given, it rates on the rareity with the German Cross in gold, in my opinion. SORRY I AM SOLD 24.3.21

(CS1674) A Superb Museum quality German Awake Standard Flag Cloth Banner. The banner is constructed in the original manner, with each letter hand stitched and edged in black thread onto a silk red cloth, edged with white, black and red wool tassels. To the centre, is a white circle edged in silver braid, with a black swastika also edged in silver. To the front, there are the words Deutschland Erwache and to the reverse, there is the same configuration, but now the words are Na. Soz. Deutschearbeiterpartie and to the base, Sturmabteilung. Again, all this is hand stitched and edged in black. To the top of the banner, there is the red protector that was there to protect it being rubbed on the original stnadard. It is mounted onto a pole and has the tassels also. Visually, this is a very close to the original example. The only major difference to this and the original is that the circular roundel is paper backed, so that the stitching could be laid well. With originals costing well over £25,000, the price of this is an absolute steal, looking so much like an original, for a fraction of the price. SORRY I AM SOLD 13.8.20

(CS1157) A Nice example of a German Army Para Badge being the 1943 type. The badge has a nice two toned appearance, with a silver eagle on a dark wreath. To the reverse, you have a nice hinge, pin and hook fitting that is workable and the badge is affixed by two domed rivets. The badge is a textbook example and is the type ascribed to the firm of FLL though the badges are unmarked. Very good condition and a scarce badge to acquire. SORRY I AM SOLD

(CS1492) A Mini Prizen Iron Cross 1st class for 1939 by the famous Berlin maker C. E. JUNCKER and stamped L/12 to the centre of the cross. The cross has the same frame attributes as it's larger sized counterpart and the cross is of superb quality and condition. It is one of only 3 that I know of. A very rare item to acquire Not often seen and far rarer than a Knights Cross of the Iron Cross. SORRY I AM SOLD 3.8.20

This is a textbook example of the 499 type. The badge was purchased in a local auction from the estate of an ex British Serviceman SORRY I AM SOLD 7.1.21

(S375) A Superb example of the heavy nickel silver Pilots Badge being a pre-war example, by the scarcely encountered GWL company. The badge has all the features associated with this manufacture being the unusual hinge and hook configuration, as well as the counter sunk nippled rivets. This example has a nice pin fixing, which is in working condition. The riveting is nice and tight, holding the badge to the wreath. There is not as much blackened finish to the eagle as sometimes encountered, but the detailing is superb and highlighted quite nicely by the two toned appearance of the eagle. Given as a qualitfication badge, these badges are often classified as a war badge, but that is not true, as the flight clasps filled this space. SORRY I AM SOLD 17.9.18

(CS1336) A Nice and rare example of an Iron Cross 2nd Class converted to a Knight's Cross. The cross originally came from the Bowen collection who was the author of one of the first iron cross books, privately printed in the 1980's. The cross is actually illustrated on page 198 of the said guide and has a Forman lead seal attached to it. There is also a piece of original Knight's Cros ribbon. The overall quality is in very good privately converted condition. Nice to find one with a traceable history back to an author. SORRY I AM SOLD 30.4.19

(CS1158) A Superb example of a Cased and Outer Card German 1st Class Mayer made Bar. The bar Case has the full title of the award printed to the case as well as the B H Mayer manufacturer's mark. The box has been opened along the hinge in an unusual way but all the main flaps are intact. The award case is virtually mint and shows no handling wear at all. It has a nice silver emblem to the lid, very clear, full detail. Once opening the box, the hinge and press stud work perfectly. The inside is nice and clean with only slight wear to the silk hinge cover. You have the bar sitting in the case. The bar is an absolute mint example with all its frosted and burnished finish and is the type shown in every reputable textbooks on the market today. This is a classic example and in virtually mint condition. I cannot stress how good this looks. Probably one of the best examples on the market today. SORRY I AM SOLD

Inside, the case has a rectangular press stud and magnetic hinge to the reverse. There is no wear or tear to this cross's case. When opened, the white undside of the lid is mint, the hinge cover is still intact with no splits and the white velvet base is clean and clear. The cross itself is a standard 26 and is marked as such on the pin. The cross is frosted and burnished and probably has not been handled by anyone since it was taken at the end of the war. This one cannot be upgraded. If you are looking for one of these, this has to be considered. Part of a group of items brought back by a British Serviceman at the end of the war and stored in a card box. SORRY I AM SOLD

(CS1236) A Nice chromed NSBO Pole Top. The pole top shows a hand holding a hammer, with a swatika and the 1/4 cogwheel and the letters NSBO.

The box is the round cornered type and has no major wear and tear to it, other than the base, where it has a few scuff marks. This is contained in the card outer casing, which has the name of the award to the outside, as well as the date and the name of the manufacturer being the jeweller Robert Koch of Frankfurt Und Main.

The cross is stamped B & NL and as such, these are some of the award crosses and not the LDO marked replacements. Very nice condition and very rare to find. SORRY I AM SOLD 1.8.19

(S297) An NSKK Crash Helmet Eagle being more of a dodo look than an eagle, but nonetheless, an eagle. The badge is complete with all but ½ of it's prongs to the reverse. There is also some age staining and oxidisation to it. There is an identical example to be found in the Assmann catalogue. This example still retains much of it's black painted finish to the swastika. A very rare eagle to acquire, most of these were discarded with the helmets. This is the 2nd we have ever had to offer. This one comes wrapped in Tissue, SORRY I AM SOLD 20.9.17

(CS1602) A very rare Copy of the German Order. This is the full size type with a swivel oakleaves and eagle affixed to the crossed swords and oakleaves. This then is fixed to the black cross. Around the edge in raised metal, is an oakleaf wreath and to the centre is a golden party badge. This type has been illustrated in some books as original, but I feel it is a Rudolf Souval copy of superb quality. With the originals costing well over £25,000 and the modern quality copies being just rubbish, I feel it is validated to sell such a nice quality copy. The cross is marked 935 and what appears to be a "U" to the back of the loop and comes complete with a small piece of original ribbon. Very rare to find such an unusual quality item. SORRY I AM SOLD 13.8.20 (UK Pounds)

 (MC636) A Memel Medal being the most scarce of the three flower wars medals. This award comes in its well used two piece hard Case of Issue being identical to the 13th March case. The case has a gold blocked eagle impressed to the lid, although in this case, it has gone black. The inside of the case has a white silk liner to the underside and a red card two pieced divider to the base. The case in my opinion, has had this liner replaced or restored. The medal which was the last in the series, was given to the Germans who marched into the Memelland district and as it is such a small place, only about 40,00 of these awards were made. This example is the dark chocolate bronze type. Becoming increasingly hard to find, this one is mounted on its original ribbon with its pin. Originally sold by Ulric of England a few years ago it is still listed on his sold items . RARE to find SORRY I AM SOLD

To the reverse, it is maker marked GH OSANG DRESDEN and has a nice fluted pin and hook soldered to the reverse. There is some slight metal oxidisation to the reverse, but nothing too serious. To the front, it retains virtually all of its finish and is one of the hardest luftwaffe combat clasps to acquire, especially being a gold grade version. These clasps were instituted on 12th April 1944, giving them only a short run for manufacture. SORRY I AM SOLD 1.6.18

(N299) A very rare Cased Iron Cross 2nd Class being privately purchased. The case is like a mini knights cross case with a cut out to take the iron cross and ribbon. This is off-white velvet similar in colour to that found on the 1st class boxes. This pulls out by a tab revealing a white base where the original citation was stored but this has long since gone. To the underside of the lid, you have the coat of arms and the trademark for a Dresden jeweller. The case is hinged and has a clam shell type opener to the front. The quality and construction is superb. The iron cross itself is a nice near mint example that is unmarked, but looks like it may well be a number 3. There is no splitting or cracking to the core which gently rattles when shaken. The quality of the whole set up is superb. Very seldom do these ones turn up nowadays. SORRY I AM SOLD

(S51) A Nice example of the Oversized Iron Cross 2nd Class.

Peekhaus, Berlin to the lefthand side. The magnetic back plate shows what appears to be glue or melted plastic marks which appears to be where someone has stuck it to a board or something. These look like rust spots until you look at them under a glass. The clasp has a fluted magnetic pin with a nice countersunk hook and a cast in hinge. The backing plate is nice and tight and held in by four horizontal lugs. The clasp is in very good condition with most of it's original bronze intact. This has now turned a darkish bronze.

She was a member of other German organisations. There is a copy of her Munich party card, showing her picture and this also shows the death rune and has a cross through it, denoting she died. I can find no date though when she did die, on the correspondence. Very rare to find identified party badges to such an early member of the party. She must have known some of the major figures in the party and this is a nice historical badge with supporting paperwork. Well worthy of further research. SORRY I AM SOLD 7.3.18

To the reverse, there is a nice Berlin taylor's label sewn onto the bar for the firm of Grosse & Sohn. Probably one of the nicest bars we have had for sale in a while and with the olympic games cross, with only 3364 awarded, this bar must have been awarded to a policeman in charge of security at the olympic games, as most would have been awarded the olympic games medal. More rare than a Knight's Cross, this award is not often found these days. A great talking point, with few collections having such rarity. SORRY I AM SOLD 9.7.21 GBP

The eagle is RZM M1/72 marked and has all the features associated with this early type of cap eagle.

Then there is the cap skull which is marked partially 52 to the top and RZM to the bottom lefthand side. Both pins are intact. The skull again, appears to be a tombak type metal, silver plated over a brass or bronze quality metal. The skull and eagle as stated, are very early.
