THIRD REICH NSFK FLYERS DAGGER BY GEBR HELLER WITH UNUSUAL ISSUE STAMPS.
For some reason the NSFK flyer's knife is much harder to find than the earleyer DLV model, I probably see 10 DLV's to every NSFK example, the only difference between the two models is the throat stamping but it is a very important difference. The silver nickel hilt fittings are in fine condition, the crossguard black enamel swastikas are in perfect condition, the obverse side of the crossguard close to the swastika is stamped with an issue number A112, both tips of the crossguard have stampings, one side features the standard K stamp and the opposite side an unusual waffen amp stamp.The blue leather grip is in perfect condition.

The blue leather scabbard is in perfect condition and it is fitted with matching nickel silver fittings, the throat of the scabbard is stamped with a square waffen amp stamp and the NSFK winged man insignia. Complete with leather hanger. This is an extremely nice example of this rare dagger pattern, if you are looking for an NSFK you will certainly be happy with this one as it has rarity, condition and some very interesting issue stamps.

EARLY STYLE ORTSGRUPPE LEVEL POLITICAL LEADERS PEAK CAP.
This is a good early example dating to about 1934 or possibly slightly earlier, these early example's are not seen very often for the obvious reason that most were replaced for the new style cap. Brown cloth top, the center band is in the same colour as the body of the hat which is a feature of these early style hats, blue piping for ortsgrupen level of political leadership. Brown patent visor with attractive age crazzing but it is not cracked or damaged in any way. Complete with large early pattern silver eagle and swastika cockade and correct silver cap cords.The interior features early style oilcloth lining and leather sweat band, there is no RZM label as this hat is to early for that. There is a minor old age stain to the top of the hat but it can not be seen when displayed and it is extremely minor. This is an extremely nice looking hat and rare being so early. [Condition: Exc++]

EXTREMLY RARE THIRD REICH GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS PEAK CAP OF THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT.
This extremely rare officers hat would have been worn by a Government official of the justice department, it is identical to the standard1938 pattern Government officials hat but instead of a plain wool center band, the center band of the justice officials hat is constructed in a black ribbed material, this example is especially interesting as the celluloid patch bears the embossed justice insignia which confirms its use.

Superb looking hat of extreme rarity which can not be overstated and although i have owned a number of Diplomatic and Government officials hats over the last 30 years this is the only Justice officials i have owned or even seen for sale and being named it should be possible to research the original owner who was probably a State Judge.
