1914 IRON CROSS FIRST CLASS
A great example of an Imperial Iron Cross First Class, which retains nearly 100% of its original black core paint. The nickel/silver frame is toned, the reverse has a toned discoloration present. The wide pin is as straight as an arrow, and functions perfectly. Just below the clasp, the manufacturer stamped "800" for the silver content. Overall excellent example!
NSDAP/SA BUCKLE
The 2 1/2" x 1 7/8", slightly convex, stamped tombac, two-piece construction buckle features, to its obverse, a plain field upon which is an embossed, political-style national eagle clutching the laurel surround to a sunwheel swastika on a slightly domed, nickel/silver plain field. The eagle's head falls on the inside of a ribbed border with simulated twisted rope trim to its inner and outer edges. The ribbed border, which is 1 5/8" in outside diameter, has a spray of oak leaves to its base, with the eagle's wings extending into it at the top. To the reverse is its raised buckle catch, and a prong bar with dual prongs, for the belt's retaining tongue. Unmarked.
WWII GEORGIAN VOLUNTEER ARM SHIELDS
These are a nice example of the colourfull, armshield entitled: 'Georgien', as intended for a Georgian volunteer within the 'Deutsche Wehrmacht' ie. within the 'Georgian Legion', in used condition.These - original - 'official' arm-shields executed in cotton are getting scarce. A very nice piece of cloth insignia! This is for one.
BERGKAUKASIEN VOLUNTEERS SLEEVE SHIELD
This sleeve insignia features a mid-blue printed shield with scalloped tipped top and fine black outer border. The center of the shield features three horses heads joined to a central circular base in bright yellow . The top edge of the shield has a black horizontal bar with bright yellow script, "Bergkaukasien", (Caucasus Mountains). The insignia is in overall excellent condition.
