These pages display a number of the rare items that I have had the pleasure of selling. To view more details and a larger photograph please click on the thumbnail picture.
GENERAL ASSAULT BADGE
This example is a solid version, with a slightly domed reverse. Approximately 80% of the original silver finish is intact, while the highlights show moderate wear. The reverse has a vertically mounted pin the functions perfectly . A very nice example! This badge was instituted on June 1, 1940 and was intended for award to personnel who supported an attack but were not eligible for Infantry or Armored Assault Badges. It was awarded to members of the Artillery, Engineers, Anti-Tank and Anti-Aircraft Units that served the Infantry or Armor in an auxiliary role in the conduct of the assault. Medical personnel were also eligible if they cared for wounded under close combat conditions.
WWII GERMAN CITY POLICE SHAKO PATTERN 1936
It was in 1936 that the shown shako was adopted with green cloth-covered body and all other fittings in jet black (strap, top, brim). This differed from the rural police Wachtmeister where all the above was in brown color. At the front is the national eagle emblem with swastika and an oak-leaf cluster open at the top. Centered above the shield is an oval color cockade slotted in a groove dated 1938 S.R.M.. There is a maker label that is partialy covered by a name (SCHRACK ROTTW.D.SCHP. size also noted as 56. There are no moth holes. These are getting hard to get these days.
WWII HARBOR PILOTS FLAG
Great displayable size, 24 by 19 inches wool flag. It has nice bright colors, and is an attractive flag which will display well, but does have some very light moth holes. It is nicely marked on the edge and has the two metal clips with reinforced corners. This would be a great addition to your German Navy display. Ken
