The interior features a fine quality artificial silk lining with brown sweat band which is complete and in perfect condition, the underside of the sweat band features the RZM label.

NSDAP SUPPORTERS ENAMEL BUILDING SIGN.
This small enamel sign would have been attached to front of a building to signify that the occupant was a supporter of the party.The sign measures 6 inches X 4 inches.White enamel background with red, white and black swastika flag and with the motto, MIT UNS (WITH US). The sign is also maker marked, C.R.Dold Offenburg IB DEUTSCHER PLAKATVERLAG HAMBURG GES GESCH. A rare sign as most would have been destroyed in 1945 with the building occupants trying to hide there support for the party. A few edge chips but basically it is in very nice condition.[Condition: Exc++]
PHOTOGRAH ALBUM BELONGING TO NSKK BRIGADFUHRER UHDE.
This superb large photograph album contains over 200 photographs and all of great interest, there are also various newspaper cutting concerning NSKK Brigadfuhrer Uhde. This album dates from 1936 until 1941, some of the photographs are dated and some have captions. Superb photographs of parades, NSKK vehicles and motorcycles, NSKK racing cars, parades and party events, the NSKK Hulsen training school and what is probably the district NSKK headquarter building and including the NSKK offices, visits of senior NSKK leaders and other party leaders, superb photographs of various tunics and kepis and lots of daggers in wear. The photographs are mainly of high quality showing much detail. I sold two of Brigadfuhrer Uhde's albums some years ago, this being the 3rd and probably the best of the set. If you are interested in the NSDAP or the NSKK this is a must have album. EXC++

ADOLF HITLER SILVER KNIFE, RARE VERY SMALL SIZE.
This is a superb example of the silver formal pattern knife as used at the Reichchancellery in Berlin and at the Fuhrers home at Berchtesgaden. This is a rare example as it is very small so possibly a butter or relish knife, I have owned a number of the larger knifes in the past but this is the first of this rare small size I have owned, it measures just 6 1/2 inches or 7cm long. Silver handle, the obverse side features the closed wing eagle and letters AH with a greek key design to the borders. The reverse side is marked 800 for the silver content and also crown, moon and eagle. This is an opportunity to own a piece of silver from Adolf Hitlers famous silver service and the knives are always very popular with collectors as they make a very nice letter opener on a collectors desk. Near mint.

DELUXE NAVAL DAGGER BY WKC WITH SPECIAL UNIQUE SCABBARD COMPLETE WITH KNOT, HANGERS, BROCADE BELT, T
This amazing set belonged to ship building engineer and U.Boat designer Oberleutnant Ulrich Gabler, during WW2 he served as chief engineer officer on U121 and U564 which was then under the command of the U.boat hero, Reinhard Suhren . Gabler's awards included German Cross in gold, iron cross 1st & 2nd class, he was also recommended for the knights cross by Suhren but apparently this was turned down. He survived the war and subsequently started a company developing and designing submarines, he died in 1994 and this set comes from his family in Germany. All early brass hilt fittings still retaining some original gilt finish, excellent detail to the eagle pommel with good clear swastika.The orange grip is in mint condition.The blade is by WKC and it is double etched with the fouled anchor and dolphin design, there is some faint patches of age spotting but over all this is an extremely nice blade.The scabbard is a very rare extra deluxe pattern featuring panels of oakleaves and acorns, WKC produced at least 10 special scabbard patterns all are extremely rare but this is one of the harder one's to find of the set. Complete with silver knot, brocade belt with with silver administration buckle and matching naval hanger also with silver fittings which is correct for an engineer officer involved with naval technical design although he eventually achieved combat experience. The dagger is contained in its original blue wool naval dagger storage bag, attached to the bag is Gablers aluminium ID or dog tag which is stamped, A ULRICH GABLER JNG.OFFZ.R.1939. A superb historical set of museum quality which comes with some research concerning the owner but i am sure much more could be easily located.
LUFTWAFFE OFFICERS PEAKED CAP, EARLY HIGH QUALITY EXAMPLE NAMED TO ORIGINAL OWNER.
This is a very nice nice high quality Luftwaffe officers peaked cap with good high front. Blue wool top with black center band and silver officers piping, complete with scarce 1st pattern silver bullion Luftwaffe eagle, cockade and cap cords which are held in place by two silver buttons.The interior of the hat shows some age and wear, the sweat band is complete but it does have several splits, celluloid patch witch is 75% complete and has full makers name and under the celluloid patch is a paper insert with the original officers name, Dr Hochholzer. The cap a classic looking example showing actual war as you would expect for such an early example and these early Luftwaffe offices hats are rare and being named it would make an interesting research project.[Condition: Exc++]
