Red cover with silver eagle and title, the book contains almost 600 pages with many colored plates of uniforms and regalia and describing the organization of the party and its various organizations such as the, SS, SA, NSKK, NSFK, NSDAP, HJ. The editions of this book does change over the years as the uniforms and regalia changed, for example the 1943 edition is the only volume to depict the rare HJ bayonet which is important as it proves that the bayonet was produced, the last part of the book describes the racial laws. If you are interested in the party or its organizations then you need this book. [Condition: Exc++]
VERY LARGE BRONZE EAGLE AND SWASTIKA, POST WAR COPY.
This actual eagle was sold by very well known British auction company in early 2022 and was purchased by a good friend of mine but unfortunately in my opinion it is a superb quality reproduction, it actually sold for £1800.00 + buyers commission but I am selling it for considerably less at a bargain price. Large bronze eagle and swastika (not resin) mounted on bronze plinth which is marked DEUTSCHLAND in large gothic letters, this base then sits on four smaller brass plinths which is then mounted on a marble base. The size of the eagle and swastika is approcamatly 12 inches or 30cm in height, the total height with base is approcamatly 17 inches or 43cm, it is a very large and impressive eagle and very high quality and has some age but in my opinion it is not from the period but looks superb on display and would certainly be expensive to reproduce today. Complete with copy of the auction listing and the lot number tag. The Eagle will be very heavy and expensive to send and so I would prefer cash and collect rather than sending it in the post (as an example the postage cost to a UK address is about £40.00, to Europe over £100.00 but to a destination such as Australia it will be at least £200.00), if the buyer wishes me to send it in the post he might have to pay considerably more for the postage than what the invoice states, this will be confirmed after despatch. Near mint. REPODUCTION

RAD DAGGER WITH RARE FULL STAG GRIP BY EICKHORN, INITIAL PRODUCTION MODEL OF 1934.
This is the rare RAD pattern dagger which has a full stag grip which covers the beak or tip of the hilt, this hard to find variation was only produced for a very short period probably less than a year and it was only produced by Eickhorn. Nickel silver hilt is in fine condition, the reverse side just above the crossguard is unit stamped Br.938. The stag horn is very impressive and it is in perfect condition and as mentioned before it covers the complete grip including the very tip which on the standard model is metal. The blade has a few faint age marks but over all it is still in excellent condition, the obverse side features the RAD motto and the reverse side is marked RADJ in a triangular with Ges Gesch (which translates as patent pending) and then below this the small Eickhorn oval trade mark as used from 1933 - 1935. The matching scabbard still retains at least 95% original black paint. This model dagger was worn by officers and enlisted men but I would imagine that most of the initial production of 1934 which this dagger would be were given to officers, the full stag grip RAD dagger are very difficult to find and are much rarer than the standard model RAD dagger.
