NSDAP GOLD PARTY BADGE, LARGE 30MM EXAMPLE.
This is the desirable large size gold party badge, these badges have become very hard to find in the last few years. The enamel centre is in perfect condition and the wreath still retains some original gilt finish. The reverse side is marked Ges Gesch and it is stamped with the original owners NSDAP number, 27796. The pin plate is maker marked, DESCHLER & SOHN MUNCHEN 9 and the political style pin is complete and in working order. It is interesting to note that the pin and name plate is upside down, in the past it has become detached and then period refitted to the badge almost certainly by the original owner, the pin and plate are original they are not replacements.

A very nice early quality dagger with a good age patina. Fine detail to the early style eagle and pommel. Mint orange grip. The blade is by Robt Klass Solingen and it is in mint condition.

THIRD REICH ARMY OFFICER DAGGER BY HORSTER WITH EARLY STYLE SLANT GRIP.
Very early example of initial production of 1935. All early silver fittings with fine detail to the pommel and eagle crossguard. The dark orange grip is very impressive as it is the early slant style used only for a short time in 1935 before they changed to the standard type of grip. The blade is in mint condition, the reverse side features the Horster Solingen trade mark. A very nice example coming from a collection or army daggers that I purchased recently. Near mint
SWASTIKA CANDLE STICK.

THIRD REICH POSTSCHUTZ LEADERS DAGGER.
This is the rare dagger that was worn by officers who belonged to the Postal Protection service and it was introduced into service in 1939. The hilt still retains all the original silver plating to the pommel and the crossguard which features a eagles head in the design, both black enamel swastikas are in perfect condition, the underside of the crossguard is issue stamped 1909 DRP which is a desirable feature to see as later examples do not feature issue stamps. The black wooden grip is in perfect condition and it is complete with the silver postal insignia, these postal grips are rather fragile and so it is difficult to find a perfect example so this is an especially nice dagger. The blade is by Paul Wayersberg Solingen and it is in mint condition and it is very impressive. The scabbard retains at least 95% original black paint just showing light age wear mostly to the lower part and it is much nicer than most. Complete with chain hanger, the spring clip shows light age wear but it is in perfect working order and the reverse side is correctly marked DRGM. A very nice example of a rare dagger. During the war the postschutz became under the control of the SS and all Postschutz officers were also members of the SS. Exc++
