Lot # 200 (Sale Order: 227 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 300High Estimate: 400
Die struck, three piece, iron and nickel/silver plated alloy construction Patté style cross with a single piece iron core and a two piece alloy frame. The obverse of the award features an embossed, central, canted swastika with the re-institution date, "1939", to the bottom arm. The swastika is in nice high relief while the date is somewhat lower. The plain reverse has a solid, soldered hinge, a broad, tapered, vertical pin and a heavy soldered catch all intact. The reverse of the pin is well marked with the embossed manufacturer's numerical code within a rectangular recess "100", indicating manufacture by Rudolf Wächtler & Lange of Mittwaida. The cross comes housed in its wood and pressed cardboard construction issue case with a simulated black grained leather covering. The cross and interior case are near mint. On March 10TH 1813, Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III established the Iron Cross as a temporary award for bestowal during times of war. Originally the Iron Cross was introduced in three grades with a Grand Cross intended for award to Senior Commanders for successfully leading troops in combat and the First and Second classes for award to all ranks for bravery or merit in action. The Iron Crosses were re-instituted by King Wilhelm I on July 19TH 1870 for award during the Franco-Prussian War and again on August 5TH 1914 by King Wilhelm II for award during WWI. On September 1ST 1939 Hitler once more re-instituted the Iron Cross series of awards in the First and Second Classes and established the Knight’s Cross of the Iron Cross. The first class medal was for award to personnel who performed three to five acts of bravery in combat, and had already been awarded the Iron Cross 2ND class.

WWII NAZI GERMAN COMBAT ENGINEER OFFICER VISOR CAP

Lot # 201 (Sale Order: 228 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 600High Estimate: 800
Nice quality, private purchase, field-gray wool construction visor cap features a blue/green badge cloth centerband and black wool waffenfarbe piping to the crown edge and both the top and bottom edges of the centerband. The front center of the cap features a second pattern, stamped natural aluminum, national eagle and the front center of the centerband has a nice quality, hand embroidered, oak-leaf wreath in bright silver/aluminum wire threads encompassing a highly vaunted three piece national tri-color cockad. The cap has a twisted silver/aluminum chin cord which was secured in place by two, small, silver washed, pebbled, alloy buttons. The cap has an extended, forward, black lacquered, vulcanfibre visor with a subtly raised lip near the forward edge. The interior of the cap is fully lined in golden/tan rayon with a smooth finish. The interior crown lining has a clear celluloid sweat rhomboid. Cap is roughly a size 57. Super nice! Visor caps were a standard item for all personnel during the Third Reich period and regulations dictated the form of dress they were to be worn with based on the individuals rank. Officer and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own caps and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the army’s Kleiderkasse, (Clothing Account), system. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their caps from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase visor caps of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps although the price may have been restrictive. Originally the insignia worn on the visor caps consisted the Weimar Reichsheer patterns which included a blackened leather chinstrap for all ranks. In February 1927 new chin cords for Officer ranks were introduced with silver cords for the ranks of Leutnant to Oberst and gilt cords for the ranks of Generalmajor to Generalfeldmarschall. Regulations of February 26TH 1936 also permitted senior NCO’s who were Officer Candidates to wear the Officers twisted silver/aluminum chin cord on their visor caps as opposed to the standard EM/NCO’s leather chinstrap. Of Note: Both the first pattern Reichsheer era visor cap eagle and wreath were replaced with the second pattern in March 1935. The different branches of service within the army were allocated a particular identifying waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Color), with black being chosen for Pionier, (Combat Engineer), personnel which was displayed as piping on the visor cap.

In March 1935 a new, more detailed, pattern wreath and cockade and a second, larger pattern national eagle were also introduced for wear and in late 1935 regulations altered the Reichswehr era field-grey colored centerband to a dark blue/green coloration which was utilized until the end of the war.

WWII ORTS LEVEL NSDAP POLITICAL LEADER'S VISOR CAP

WWII ORTS LEVEL NSDAP POLITICAL LEADER'S VISOR CAP

Lot # 204 (Sale Order: 231 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 700High Estimate: 900
A 1939 pattern tan-colored, fine whipcord-weave, wool/rayon construction visor cap. The cap features a one-piece circular crown, piped in blue, a body with seams to each of its cardinal points, a one-piece, light brown velvet center band, also piped in blue along its upper and lower edges and whose vertical seam is to the reverse, and a chocolate brown vulcanfiber visor. The blue piping, as well as the center band color, is indicative of the political "Ortsgruppe" (Local-group) level. Fixed over the forward seam line of the body is a slightly convex, 1939 pattern, gilt-colored, stamped alloy eagle which clutches a wreathed, mobile swastika in its talons. Beneath it, affixed to the front and following the contours of the center band, is a 1939 pattern, gold anodized, stamped alloy oak-leaf wreath, encompassing a three-piece cockade. The wreath is comprised of eight oak leaves, each pebbled to resemble embroidery, four to either side of a simulated binding "cord" with four raised "beads" arranged vertically to its center. Alloy wreaths were worn by those holding the rank of "Hauptgemeinschaftsleiter" (roughly equivalent to a Second Lieutenant) and below. Between the center band and the visor is a gilt wire chin chord, attached over each ear by gilt washed, pebbled metal buttons. The cord and button color establish the wearer as having been an "Ortsgruppenleiter" (as lower levels had silver chin cords and buttons). The chocolate brown vulcanfibre visor has a protective lacquered finish to its upper surface. Nice complete leather sweatband. Original oilcloth RZM tag is present. Gold rayon liner is complete as is the original celluloid sweat diamond. Roughly a size 57. Nice untouched cap. Uniform regulations for Nazi political leaders were addressed as early as 1920, with the standard headgear at that time being a Kepi-style cap. These regulations underwent numerous modifications, and in January of 1934 a visor cap, based on the army style, was introduced for wear. This 1934 visor cap was also modified until a final pattern was introduced in July of 1939. The NSDAP was structured in four ascending levels of government, consisting of the "Ortsgruppenleitung," the "Kreisleitung," the "Gauleitung," and the "Reichsleitung," with each group being distinguished by a specific color of piping on the collar tabs and visor cap.

WWII NAZI GERMAN KRIEGSMARINE BATTLE FLAG 100X170

WWII NAZI GERMAN KRIEGSMARINE BATTLE FLAG 100X170

Lot # 206 (Sale Order: 233 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 500High Estimate: 700
Second pattern (Circa 1937/38-1945) single piece dual sided printed cotton/linen construction national war flag. The flag features a red base field with a central white/black/white/black bordered white disk with a black and white bordered black canted swastika to the center. The flag has black vertical and horizontal bars emanating from the central disk with white/black/white borders. The canton features a white/black/white bordered black Iron Cross. The hoist edge has a small dual-ply reinforcement panel to each corner. The hoist edge is trimmed in white tunnel looped cotton/rayon blend bunting for the suspension rope. The twisted suspension rope is still intact and has a closed loop to both the top and bottom edges. Size marked 100x 170 and maker marked with Eagle M. Nice clean example. The first modern German war flag was introduced by Kaiser Wilhelm I in July 1867. The war flag went through a number of minor modifications through the years until it reached its final design format in September 1903. The 1903 version of the Kaiserliche Kriegsflagge, (Imperial War Flag), was utilized until it was abolished after Germany’s defeat in WWI on September 27TH 1919. On April 11TH 1921 a new national war flag was introduced that utilized Hohenzollern Empire tri-colors of black, white and red, with the Weimar era, (Circa 1919-1933), national tri-colors of black, red, and gold inserted into the canton, (upper left corner), with a black Iron Cross to the center. In March 1933, shortly after Hitler gained power, he abolished the Weimar era canton insert on the national war flag. The 1933 pattern national war flag was utilized until November 7TH 1935 when Hitler introduced a new, totally redesigned, national war flag that incorporated the NSDAP’s, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), swastika emblem. Of Note: The 1935 pattern national war flag was utilized until late 1937 or early 1938, when a slightly modified second pattern flag was introduced. The national war flag was flown on all Kriegsmarine, (Navy), warships, Luftwaffe, (Air Force), airfields and all buildings owned by the Wehrmacht, (Armed Forces). The flag was also to be hoisted daily at all occupied barracks and was also utilized at victory parades and special events along with the standard national swastika flag.

In April 1925 the fledgling Schutzkommando, introduced its own version of the standard NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), swastika armband by the addition of black stripes to both the top and bottom edge to differentiate SS personnel from SA, (Storm/Assault Detachment), personnel, since both groups were outfitted with the traditional brown shirt "uniform" at that period in time. The SS armband was worn on the black service dress and the early field-grey uniforms, until it was replaced with the SS-VT, SS-Verfügungstruppe, (SS-Special Purpose Troops), sleeve eagle in May 1936. Of Note: The Schutzkommando, was renamed, Schutzstaffel on November 9TH 1925 and the SS-VT would evolve into the Waffen-SS, (Armed SS) in December 1939. Also Of Note: The RZM, Reichzeugmeisterei, (National Equipment Quartermaster), was official founded in June 1934 in Munich by the NSDAP as a Reich Hauptamt, (State Central Office), and was based on the earlier SA Quartermaster’s Department. The functions of the RZM were not only to procure and distribute items to Party formations, but also to approve chosen designs and to act as a quality control supervisor to ensure items manufactured for the Party met required specification and were standardized. Starting in late 1934 items manufactured for the SS came under the quality control of the RZM and were marked by a cloth RZM/SS approval tag. The dimensions and design of these cloth tags was altered in 1935 and this second pattern tag remained in use until early 1938, when it was replaced by a paper tag. Of Note: In 1943 the Waffen-SS assumed full control over their uniform item production and no longer fell under the authority of the RZM.

The front center of the cap features a second pattern (circa 1935-1945) silver washed stamped alloy national eagle with out-stretched wings clutching a wreathed canted swastika in it’s talons. The eagle is secured to the cap by three bent over prongs on the reverse. The front center of the centerband has a second pattern (circa 1935-1945) silver washed stamped alloy oak-leaf wreath encompassing a separate, high vaunted three piece stamped alloy national tri-color cockade. The national tri-color cockade consists of a black fluted alloy base, a bright silver washed alloy, roundel and an inserted red wool center dot. Blackened patent leather chinstrap intact with two black painted rectangular sheet metal retaining buckles and two black painted rectangular length adjustment buckles. Chinstrap is secured to cap by two small smooth finish black painted magnetic sheet metal buttons. The cap has an extended, forward, black lacquered, vulcanfibre visor with a subtly raised lip near the forward edge. The interior of the cap is fully lined in subtly textured, gray rayon. The interior of the cap also has a wide brown leatherette sweatband. The cap is in overall excellent condition with minor age and usage toning. The cap is roughly size 57. Visor caps were a standard item for all Wehrmacht, (Armed Forces), personnel during the Third Reich period, (Circa 1933-1945), and regulations dictated the form of dress they were to be worn with based on the individual’s rank. Originally the insignia worn on the visor caps consisted of the Weimar Reichswehr, (National Defence Force, Circa 1919-1933), era, pattern oak-leaf wreath and cockade and a blackened leather chinstrap for all ranks. In February 1927 new chin cords for Officer’s ranks were introduced with silver cords for the company and field grade officer’s ranks of Leutnant to Oberst and gilt cords for the ranks of Generalmajor to Generalfeldmarschall. On March 14TH 1933 the Reichswehr’s oval black, red and gold cockade was replaced with a circular cockade in black, white, and red and on February 17TH 1934 the Third Reich pattern national eagle for the army was officially introduced for wear on the visor cap. In March 1935 a new, more detailed, pattern wreath and cockade and a second, larger pattern national eagle were also introduced for wear and in late 1935 regulations altered the Reichswehr era field-grey colored centerband to a dark blue/green coloration which was utilized until the end of the war. Further regulations of February 26TH 1936 also permitted senior NCO’s who were Officer Candidates to wear the Officer’s twisted, silver/aluminum chin cord on their visor caps as opposed to the standard EM/NCO’s leather chinstrap. The different branches of service within the army were allocated a specific, identifying, waffenfarbe, (Branch of Service Color), with bright red being chosen for Artillerie, (Artillery), personnel which was displayed as piping on the visor cap for EM/NCO’s and Company and Field grade officers. Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own caps and as a result were allotted a clothing allowance through the army’s Kleiderkasse, (Clothing Account), system. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their caps from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase visor caps of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps although the price may have been restrictive.

The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could choose to purchase their caps from the armed forces clothing depots or to privately purchase visor caps of higher quality. Although enlisted personnel were issued their caps from government supplies they were also permitted to purchase privately tailored caps although the price may have been restrictive.
