(GE2) We are pleased to announce we have come back into stock a badge we sold over ten years ago which stirred up much interest at the time, being A Spanish Tank Badge. Here is the original write up (F721) A silver Tank Battle Badge for the Condor Legion. The badge was recently purchased direct from a veteran who wore it during WWII and as a result, the badge shows wear and tear.

(N980) A Very Rare and seldom encountered German Saar Ring. The ring is in its original manucturer's Presentation Box in dark blue with the manufacturer's name of Fritz Mannheim Kaiserslautern in silver. The box is opened like a matchbox and has a blue flocking base. On the ring, it has Saardant 1935. On the inside, it also has Reichskommissar with a facsimile of his signature. Whether this is to rival the SS Honour Ring, I don't know. Also with this, comes the original presentation document which has the addition of being very nicely filled out. Dated for 1/3/35, the reverse has the issue date of 8/10/1935 stamped in red to it. A very rare set only ever seen once before.

| (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.

(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

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

To start with, the cross is an unmarked example of standard three piece construction, which is nicely soldered up along the edge with no splitting or cracking. The iron core retains virtually all of its paint finish, and as such, the cross is virtually mint. This is housed in a flat topped box with a silver impressed iron cross outline to the lid. 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. This manufacturer I have only ever had three of his outer card cases The first one I have, can be found in the book " The Iron Cross" by Gordon Williamson on page 121. Very nice cross to find.SORRY I AM SOLD 1.7.18
|
(CS861) A Rare 5 Don Cossack Regimental Cross in aluminium. Nice quality and complete with its steel pin. The cross retains a large amount of its original paint finish.

This cross is only the third I have had and matches the other two crosses identically. SORRY I AM SOLD

|
(S414) A Nice example of a Luftwaffe Ground Combat Badge being the type with a secondary eagle affixed by a single rivet over the badge. This secondary eagle is a nice bright silver example and gives the badge good contrast. The badge to the reverse has the faint maker's stamp of G Osang Dresden just below the rivet. The pin, hinge and hook all work fine and the badge could do with a mild clean, as it retains much of the original blue cloud finish in contrast to the silvered wreath, which has now oxidised.SORRY I AM SOLD 1.3.18

The retaining belt hook is braised to the buckle and then you have a steel post and prongs to hold the belt. The buckle has overall wear and tear, but matches known original O & C buckles. There is an illustrated example of one of these in the book "Belts, Buckles and Brocades of the Third Reich" by John R Angolia where an illustration is found on page 206, this style is shown at the top. It also shows the front of this style of buckle on page 205, whereas the one on 206 just shows the reverse with the trademark.
