THIRD REICH ORTSGRUPPE DAF UNIT STANDARD FROM HAMM WELTEN.
Red flag with cogwheel and swastika to the center of the flag.The top corner of the flag has a brown box with blue piping for Ortsgruppe level of leadership, the box is embroidered in white chain stitched lettering, HAMM WELTEN 3 which i believe is a district of Hamburg. Silver fringe to three sides, on the fourth side are five metal suspension loops and large spring clip for attachment to the flag pole.The flag is in exceptional condition and it is very impressive. [Condition: Near Mint]
COLOURED PORCELAIN PLAQUE OF THE FUHRER ADOLF HITLER.
A fine quality full colour and glazed porcelain plaque of the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, he is wearing party uniform with overcoat. The plaque is very similar to the well known Rosenthal Hitler plaque but with some small differences. The reverse is stamped 101 which is probably a model number and also the German manufactures stamp which I do not recognize but with reserch could probably be discovered. Size 8 x 6 inches [Condition: Mint]
SS OFFICERS SWORD COMPLETE WITH SS PORTEPEE KNOT AND BLACK LEATHER HANGER.
This is a superb SS officer degen that has never been cleaned and so it has a very attractive age patina. The black wooden grip is in perfect condition with no chip or cracks, the beautiful grip is inset with silver runic badge to the obverse side. The nickel hilt fittings have a superb age patina but would easily clean if required but personally I would leave it as it is. The pommel is the type only used on SS swords, it screws into the hilt of the sword and not the tang of the blade (the pommel on a police sword always screws into the tang of the blade). The blade is in near mint condition and it does not have a makers name which is correct for the SS officers sword (SS officers swords will be found with un-marked blades or by Krebs or PMD, any other maker would be highly questionable). The matching scabbard is also extremely nice, the original black scabbard paint is mostly complete just showing light age, the lower fitting is held in place with pressure and not by screws. Attached to the hilt of the sword is a very nice silver and black SS officers portepee with SS runic insignia to the stem and complete with black leather sword hanger. SS officers swords have always been very difficult to find because unlike the SS chained dagger which most officers automatically received after being commissioned as an SS officer, the SS officers sword was personally awarded by the Reichfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler and could not be purchased.

LUFTWAFFE PILOT OBSERVERS BADGE.
High quality cloth padded example which almost has a 3D affect and which has been removed from a tunic. Grey machine embroider eagle on gold embroider wreath on Luftwaffe blue cloth backing. The reverse side still retains original backing material. Purchased privately along with a Luftwaffe dagger and Luftwaffe flight bar and it has never been in a collection. Exc++ or better.
THIRD REICH POISONOUS MUSHROOM BOOK .
Probably the most anti sematic book ever published. The book was published in 1938 by Julius Strikers Der Sturmer publishing house. The book was actually intended for Children and warning them of the danger of Jews by the use of fairy tale like stores and disturbing pictorial full colour imagery. A very rare book. Near mint.
TWO COPYS OF THE GERMAN WW2 MAGAZINE SIGNAL, RARE ENGLISH EDITIONS.
These are the very rare and notorious Katyn atrocity editions. Signal was a wartime German propaganda magazines produced in many languages but the English Language editions are the hardest to find, these editions probably coming from the Chanel Islands or an allied prisoner of war camp. The magazine's are dated 1st of June 1943 and the 2nd of June 1943, normally they were published weekly but these special additions were published on consecutive days. Both Magazine feature reports with photographs of the discovery and exhumation of the notorious Katyn murders, the soviet killings and burial of Polish Officers in 1940. The magazines also have reports and photographs of foreign volunteers fighting with the Germans, Dr Goebbels receiving SS Officers and men after there victory at Kharkov, home front reports, agriculture in the east now re-organized by the German occupation forces and working closely with Russian farmers and peasants, the new German army and many others interesting reports. Fascinating rare editions in the English language and with many superb photographs and some in full colour. Exc++
GERMAN HOLBEINE MODEL DAGGER BY BOKER WITH HANGER AND ISSUE BOX.
This is a modern Holbein dagger with very obvious similarity's to the SA and SS dagger. The grip is similar to an SA grip but without insignia and it is also slightly larger. The crossguards are slightly smaller than Third Reich type and the lower crossguard is engraved on the obverse side, Boker Solingen with there trade mark of an oak tree, the reverse side is marked 070. The blade is almost identical to an SA blade but plain with out motto or makers name and it is also very sharp. Black painted scabbard with silver fittings in the Holbein style. The scabbard is fitted with black leather hanger with metal fittings. Complete with original issue box with Bokers makers details to the lid. A very interesting dagger to display alongside an SS or SA dagger and it would also make a very good hunting knife. A modern dagger but of very high quality and probably produced in the last 20 years. Mint
