January 2025  Highlights & News

 

 

 

Our January Highlights are showcasing three rare and particularly desirable ceremonial edged weapons of Germany’s Third Reich.

 

 

Our first Highlight for January is a beautiful example of the 1937 second pattern ceremonial Luftwaffe Generals sword by the prestigious Solingen firm of Carl Eickhorn. These rare to market swords have the finest triple-etched blades, each one bearing Reichsmarshall Goring’s name (as head of the Luftwaffe). This example survives in excellent overall condition, and includes the rare to find silver & blue striped portepee.

 

 

Secondly we offer an exceptional SS 1933 pattern service dagger with full Himmler dedication. As with all Himmler dedicated daggers, this example was manufactured by Carl Eickhorn, and typically bears their ‘small’ logo. This dagger, originally from the Douglas Pratt collection, survives in excellent towards very near mint condition. Certainly one of the very best examples available today.

 

 

 

Our last Highlight for January is a rare to market NPEA chained dagger, supplied and blade marked with the name, Karl Burgsmuller. The dagger has nickel-silver plated fittings throughout, and the olive green painted scabbard. The type 1 Burgsmuller name is present to the reverse of the blade.

 

 

 

 

We have now started adding a fine array of visor caps to the website, these spread across all spectrums of the Third Reich, military, political and civil. We will continue to add visor caps from this collection to the website over the next couple of months. Other items worthy of mention are some beautiful examples of the German Cross award (see under medals, Knights Cross & Iron Cross).

 

 

 

 

 Additionally, there is a good consignment of military and civil daggers, which has been recently added to the site, along with a small collection of SS daggers.

 

 

Our section devoted to rare collectors books, including many Bender Published titles, is worth a look as well, with a fair number of rare to find books added recently. We have now added a new category under books, entitled – Third Reich Research Material. This category will hold a mixture of research books, photographs and archive files available, as we start to populate this category.

 

 

 

To those with an interest in all things relating to military clocks & watches, the long-awaited final volume of our German Military Timepiece publications has been completed. The final volume devoted to the Luftwaffe is now in stock, and is listed within our German Military Books category.

 

 

 

As always, please do check Take-A Pop, as some excellent items have been discounted by the consigners, of particular note is the last item from the Clayton Collection, a Kaisermarine Station Pointer from £875 to £250, a bargain indeed ! We have also just been instructed to discount the fine Nuremberg desk eagle from £2750 to £1750, that really does represent excellent value for the canny collector.

 

 

 

There is also a large number of Dealer Lot groups, which allows us to dispose of lower value remnants from various collections, and at the same time offering you the chance to buy lots at very advantageous prices.
