February 2025  Highlights & News

 

 

Our February Highlights are showcasing three rare and particularly desirable Hitler Youth related artifacts.

 

 

Our first Highlight for February is a beautiful example of a Hitler Youth 1939 Staff Officer visor cap manufactured by the prestigious cap making firm of Clements Wagner . This scarce example of Hitler Youth cap is in a high quality ribbed gabardine material with red upper piping, and silver cap band pipings. The cap retains the special HJ Tuchmutze linen label, and the entire cap survives in close to mint condition. Exceptional to find in the market place.

 

 

 

Secondly we offer an rare unissued example of the Hitler Youth knife with full motto, manufactured by the well-known Solingen firm, WKC. This example is complete with its original paper manufacturer’s storage bag, and the RZM tag. This example is one of two unissued HJ knives brought back to England in 1945 by a serving British officer. Both remained stored by the officer until they were sold at auction in 2019.

 

 

Our last Highlight for February is a rare Hitler Youth Adolf Hitler School Instructors visor cap. The cap, in the typical NPEA type olive brown, bears black pipings, along with a brown cap band. The cap retains its M1929 silvered eagle/swastika, along with enamel HJ diamond.

 

 

 

 

 

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.
