Wooden and Cork Swastika Bottle Top, probably late1920's. A very rare bottle top that was deliberately disguised to appear as a normal rounded wooden and cork top because in the early days it was forbidden to display the swastika in bars especially when the anti Nazi authorities appeared, and when it was 'all clear' and the anti Nazis left the bar or where ever it was the bottle tops could be pulled open revealing the black swastika emblem on a white background. Very rare, (and amusing) especially in this condition. 100% original.
It measures 7.3 x 4.5 cms (3 x 1.8 ins)
GBP 120.00 (in EU=Euros 137.00) plus postage.

Soldbuch Personalausweis made out to johann Knoll
A Soldbuch made out to Johann Knoll. I know virtually nothing about Soldbuchs so I cannot give you much detailed information about the part Knoll played in WW2 and where he served. So, I have scanned ALL the filled in pages so anyone interested can go through them at leisure. The booklet itself is in medium condition, the upper staple is still holding the booklet together. Should you require any further photos or general info please contact me.

A Soldbuch made out to Georg Badinger who appears from his photo to be a Wehrmacht soldier. I know virtually nothing about Soldbuchs so I cannot give you much detailed information about the part Badinger played in WW2 and where he served. So, I have scanned all the filled in pages and anyone interested can go through them at leisure. A few documents are inside the back flap and can be seen in the scans. The booklet itself is in good condition, the staples are still in place although a little rusty, but still holding the booklet firmly together. Should you require any further photos or general info please contact me.

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, a wonderfully powerful likeness, 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 more than the usual, but for a piece of this quality that will be worth the money.
GBP 1,890 plus postage.
25 Outstanding sharp, crisp, 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 larger

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.
A really interesting ORIGINAL WARTIME FRAMED OIL PAINTING on CANVAS from the NSDAP period depicting German Armed forces in the form of combatants from the Wehrmacht, Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine. The Artwork is signed and dated 'Eder 1942'. (The signature is partly obscured by the frame, but I have temporarily removed the frame so you can see it). Condition is outstanding, no damage or blemishes.
It measures (with the frame) 72 x 51.5cm (28.5 x 20.3ins) and the painting itself is 61 x 40cm (24 x 15.75ins)
As stated a similar original painting to this one (image attached) was produced for exhibition during the War years by Hans Schmitz-Wiedenbruck and Eder's image is obviously taken from it......see final photo.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The painting I have got is not a fake, its a period copy, which is a completely different thing. The signature on my painting is not Hans Schmitz-Wiedenbruck who was the artist of the original as I discovered from the internet info.....mine is signed

1900-1925 25 Jahre Zeppelin Luftschiffe (Full Set 25 Graf Zeppelin Photo-postcards, cards virtually Mint).
A very rare complete set of 25 Photo-postcards in their original containing envelope file. ALL of the postcards are in amazing condition both front and back, absolutely no damage, creases or blemishes of any kind. It certainly appears that all the postcards were permanently stored in their envelope and consequrently have remained pretty well spotless. The original containing envelope has some damage as can be seen in the detailed photos, but considering it's 100 years old it's quite acceptable. On the reverse of the envelope it explains that the set was (trans.) 'Distributed and Published by the Graphic Department of the Zeppelin Airship Construction Company at Friedrichshafen'.
For anyone interested in the very early days of Airships and their use in WW1 this set traces their development from 1900 to 1925.

Gilt washed 24 inch train eagle. The Eagle is in excellent condition with no damage or flaws. It measures 60.7 x 33.5 cms (23.9 x 13.2 ins).
The reverse is marked with the compound elements in the center of the eagle which read "Al-Mg-Si B" (Aluminium, Mg=Magnesium, Si=Silicon), and along the bottom the abbreviations "RZA 10"=Reich Zug Adler (Train Eagle 10), and BLN=Berlin.
You look into
https://ww2germancollectibles.com/pr...roadtraineagle .......for a similar example
you will see similar makers marks and studs but not drilled.
This Eagle was found locally in a loft in Ramsgate (where I, by sheer coincidence live.) A good friend of mine found it several years ago while clearing out his loft after having bought the house.
I am aware of Train Eagles having been faked so I have submitted this Eagle for examination by Wehrmacht Awards Forum and all appears to be in order. No one has faulted it.
