Hitler Youth swastika trumpet banner. I put this banner to the Wehrmacht Awards Forum for comments and advice about authenticity because the condition is so good and opinion was somewhat divided because of the outstanding condition of the banner. I have no reason to doubt it's authenticity simply because it is in such outstanding condition as I have had other totally genuine cloth items in equally good condition but I felt I needed to mention it.
Typical HJ pattern swastika with red and white field. Double sided, multi-piece cotton construction on both sides with tie strings and metal rings on it's upper edge for afixing it to the trumpet. The central swastika is printed onto the cotton, not sewn. It has red and white piping and gold coloured thread fringing and measures 56 x 52 cms approx (22 x 20.5 ins).
Also, I have subjected the material to UV analysis with my blue light and it didn't appear to glow as a more recent example would if it was of post war or more recent construction.

Parliamentary elections were held in Germany (including recently annexed Austria) on 10 April 1938. They were the final elections to the Reichstag during Nazi rule and took the form of a single-question referendum asking whether voters approved of a single list of Nazi and pro-Nazi guest candidates for the 814-member Reichstag, as well as the recent annexation of Austria. Turnout in the election was officially 99.6% with 99.1% voting -yes- in Germany and Austria.
The elections were held largely to rally official support fr

A really outstanding bust of Adolf Hitler in Bronze on a heavy marble base. The head was sculpted by the very famous German sculptress Hedwig Maria Ley (1888 - 1978) whose fame was actually spread by the superb sculptured busts she made of Adolf Hitler. This particular bronze is in immaculate condition, as good as they get, and the marble base is also in fine condition, with just the slightest tiny blemish to one back corner which has been expertly repaired and is virtually unnoticeable. This quality and in this condition is rare, a perfect showpiece for any NSDAP collection. The total height of the piece is 26 cms (10.25ins) and the head alone is 17.5 cms (almost 7 ins). the bronze is of course heavy as is the marble base, the total weight being almost exactly 6 kilos (13.25 lbs) so postage will be a little on the high side, but for a piece of this quality that should be worth the money.

25 Outstanding original photographs of Me 109 fighters and the Kriegsberichterzug 6 (German War Correspondent Section 6 report to go with it) written and complied by Harry Gehm. It makes very interesting reading about the aerial conflicts in which the German units took part. Interestingly, although the photos are stuck into the folder, the paper on which they are stuck is very thin and as a consequence the notes written on the backs of the photos describing what they are can still be read (see scans). (The scan of the backs of the photos has been done THROUGH the paper on which the Me 109 images are attached). I have not attempted to remove the photos from the folder, but I would assume that it could be done without too much trouble.
These photos are virtually all in very good condition with just two or three having slight creases but absolutely nothing serious. (One photo is doubled wih a slightly enlarged 2nd image....nos 3 and 4). All the photos are a fair bit l
A 1939 Wedding Edition of Mein Kampf.
The married couple are not mentioned in the space set aside for their names inside the cover, but the donor states that the book was presented to them (who ever they were) by the town Foundry (Gusswerk) and is signed by the local mayor..
A good example with a few minor faults ALL of which are photographed. Inside the front and back cover there is slight foxing as the book may have been stored in slightly damp conditions. There is what appears to be a small ink stain on the outside edge of the front cover. The inside of the book is very clean and the pages are uncreased and the spine is good and firm, There is a small hole on the top corner of the next to last page.

x 3 Hitler Plaques
1)
A really exceptional Hitler Plaque. The surface is virtually unmarked with the barest of blemishes of any sort. There is a slight frame mark approx 1 cm from each edge of the plaque which would indicate that this plaque was probably originally framed. It appears to be made of silvered zinc or aluminium I do not really know, and is a wonderful likeness of Hitler facing to the right. It measures. 20.2 x 17.00 cm (8.00 x 6.7 ins).

A really nice Iron Cross 2nd Class which retains virtually all of it's original black. I have been informed this particular medal was manufactured by Steinhauer & Lueck, Luedenscheid.

The ribbon is a full length of 47 cms (14.5 ins) but I'm not 100% sure it is the original. A really fine example of an Iron Cross 2nd Class, wonderful condition.

While I was just now back in Austria I looked for more Stars of David, because i thought I may have had one or two more related to the batch of items I came across a few years back associated with the Kopstein family. Well, I came across ONE more, although to be honest it was not where I thought it might me....so there may even be a couple more stuffed away somewhere!! I have attached photos of the Star, and I can tell you it is exactly the same as the others I had from the same source. I had submitted the earlier Stars to the WA Forum, and although MOST opinions were in favour of them being authentic one or two were not. I can add that one reply I had was from a chap who said he HIS Stars had exactly the SAME material and form as mine and he was 100% certain my Stars were authentic. I am not in the business of conning people, but I thought I would mention this. I have in the past sold several of these identical Stars on GMC and never had a problem, only requests for more of th
A nice thick Hitler profile plaque, quite heavy, possibly silvered zinc? About half of the silvering has come off over the years (it would look great resilvered?.....not for the puritan I know!) but the plaque still retains it's quality regardless.

Der Giftpilz, "The Poisonous Mushroom". 1st Edition. BEST example available for SURE!
An anti-Semitic children's book published by Julius Streichers Stuermeverlag in Nuernberg and the Nazi weekly "Der Stuermer". The book, written by Ernst Hiemer, an author and journalist in "Der Stuermer", portrays Jews as "poisonous mushrooms" with a German mother explaining to her child how mushrooms are somewhat like people - some are good and some are poison. The book then expands in great detail this comparison with poison mushrooms and in extremely graphic pictures the book attempts to explain how no real German could ever tolerate Jews in Germany. The book is accompanied by colourful illustrations by the caricaturist of "Der Stuermer" Philipp Rupprecht who published his works under the pen-name "Fips".

The Ahnenpass is a family tree record in which every German citizen was expected to accurately record their Aryan ancestry back at least four generations.

Germany was about to embark on the invasion of Russia and had Europe firmly in it's grip, (telegrammes are dated 14th and 15th June 1941).
The Telegrammes were sent to the newly married Freda and Oberfeldwebel (Staff Sergeant) Fritz Urban congratulating them on their marriage. The envelope that they must have come in is somewhat the worse for wear but still good.
A rare and unusual find, quite clearly showing the German confidence at the time.

Oval plate with natural pearl glaze. Handwritten symbols in gilt lettering. Absolutely outstanding condition, pretty well perfect.
The first Czech porcelain began to be produced in Schlaggenwald when the factory was established in 1792. It reached its greatest development in the 19th century and made the town famous in the world at that time. Porcelain production continued until 2011, when the factory was closed. I am no expert on Schlaggenwald porcelain and believe that this particular Plate was probably produced about late C19 (1880 ish ?) although there is a 'date' marked 1838 which I don't think can be the date, but I don't know, and another number '95'.....(1895??). I do know that the plate was ownd by a Jewish family by the name of Koppstein who lived in Vienna in the 1930's and from which other items had come to me. What ever happened to the family I do not know, but I did have various

A hard cover book titled "Das Antlitz des Fuhrers or "The Face of the Fuhrer" by Heinrich Hoffmann with the foreword written by Baldur von Schirach and was published shortly before the outbreak of World War Two.
The book consists of black and white photograph portraits of Adolf Hitler from 1919 through to 1939. I have recently discovered that there are TWO portraits missing, I do not know which ones they are, and connot see where they were removed from (not torn out) but apparently there are supposed to be 16 portraits and this example has 14. This is clearly reflected in the price which now is far less than the standard price which goes from about GBP 45.00 for a poor example to about GBP 100.00 for better examples.
The book measures approximately 19.5cm x 27cm. The book was published by "Zeitgeschichte-Verlag, Wilhelm Andermann, Berlin" with a copyright of 1939.
The cover shows usage and wear, front and back but the interior pages are in good condition.
This was Heinrich Hoffmann

A selection of x24 repro (fake) NSDAP rings that I came across in a velvet display case many years ago when I was collecting. They are of quite acceptable quality as can be seen from the detailed photos. I really do not know which ones may or may not be silver. Nearly all are silver marked, quite a few with the '925' silver mark but I cannot guarantee that they really are silver. Many clearly look and feel like silver but I just cannot be certain.
