PRE WWII NAZI GERMAN SS-VT OVERSEAS CAP WW2

PRE WWII NAZI GERMAN SS-VT OVERSEAS CAP WW2

Lot # 473 (Sale Order: 533 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 2,000High Estimate: 2,500
This is a rare green gray SS TV M34 overseas cap. The Allgemeine SS cap shows very little wear. The inside lining is also ink stamped with a size mark 56. The front SS skull button has been removed. One of the two black SS cloth tags are still present. Excellent The Allgemeine-SS, (General-SS), was originally formed in May 1923 as the Stosstrupp Adolf Hitler (Shock Troops Adolf Hitler), and was re designated Schutzstaffel, (Protection Squad), in April 1925 with the official acceptance of the name verified on the second anniversary of the failed Munich "Beer-Hall" Putsch on November 9TH 1925. On January 6TH 1929 Heinrich Himmler was appointed as Reichsführer-SS, (National Leader {of the} SS), and on July 20TH 1934 shortly after the, June 30TH 1934, purge of the SA on the "Night of the Long Knives", the SS was rewarded by Hitler by being granted the status of an independent organization under direct control of the NSDAP. From its inception the SS began an aggressive policy of expansion which resulted in the formation of the SS-SD, SS-Sicherheitsdienst und Sicherheitspolizei, (SS-Security Service and Security Police), in June 1931, the SS-VT, SS-Verfügungstruppe, (SS-Special Purpose Troops), and the SS-TV, SS-Totenkopfverbände, (SS-Death’s Head Units), in March 1933 which would eventually evolve into the Waffen-SS, (Armed-SS), in December 1939. Originally members of the fledgling SS had no official uniform or headgear until April 1925 when they adopted, what was to become known as the, "Tradition Uniform" and personnel were outfitted with the same brown shirt uniform and kepi as the SA, Sturm Abteilung, (Storm Troopers). In November 1925 SS personnel adopted a black kepi, necktie, breeches and border trim on their armbands to distinguish themselves from their SA counterparts. In June 1934 the first pattern "schiffchenform", (boat form), EM/NCO’s overseas cap was introduced and issued for wear until November 1940 when the second pattern overseas cap was introduced. Originally the first pattern overseas cap was produced in black until 1937 when the first earth grey version were produced. On its introduction the overseas cap had no insignia but shortly afterwards a button and a national eagle insignia were introduced. The first insignia for this style cap consisted of a pebbled button with no Totenkopf and a political style national eagle until a second pattern SS eagle was introduced in 1937 to replace the earlier political style eagle and is actually the first pattern SS cap eagle. SS Officers and certain senior NCO ranks were responsible for purchasing their own uniforms and as a result the SS established the SS-Kleiderkasse, (Clothing Account), system in Munich in 1935. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s were allotted a one time clothing allowance from the government with the amount varying depending on the individuals rank. The Officers and certain senior NCO’s could also choose to purchase privately tailored garments of higher quality although the price may have been restrictive. With the rapid expansion of the Waffen-SS after the outbreak of the war the SS-Kleiderkasse also expanded to include no fewer then nine main offices with offices located in some of the occupied countries including, Poland, Norway, France, Czechoslovakia and Russia. 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.

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY DRESS DAGGER W/ HANGERS WW2

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY DRESS DAGGER W/ HANGERS WW2

Lot # 474 (Sale Order: 534 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 500High Estimate: 700
The dagger features a roughly, 26cm long, drop forged steel construction, nickel/silver plated, stiletto style blade with a flat central ridge. The blade is in overall good condition with minor scabbard runners and surface spotting and runner marks and is maker marked to Paul Weyersburg. The original brown leather washer is still intact. The dagger has a cast silvered alloy, cross guard, alloy plated ferrule, and pommel. The obverse cross guard features the embossed army eagle with outstretched wings and a plain reverse. The ferrule and pommel both feature embossed repeating oak-leaf patterns. The dagger has a molded, burnt orange celluloid grip with the correct diagonally angled ribbing. The dagger comes with its original, tooled, magnetic, sheet metal, nickel/silver plated scabbard with a random pebbled pattern to both the obverse and reverse and smooth side panels. The nickel/silver plating to the scabbard shows moderate age tarnish and spots of wear to the base alloy with light surface spotting. Both of the sweated on scabbard bands with a repeating, horizontally embossed oak-leave pattern and the hanger suspension rings are intact. Throat retaining screw is also intact. The dagger comes with a dagger set of dagger hanger and portepee. Nice example showing the expected age. Traditionally German Army Officer’s had worn a saber as part of the uniform dress and this tradition was carried on through the Weimar era and on into the Third Reich. In an attempt to build morale and curry favour within the Army, Hitler introduced the dress dagger for optional wear with the walking out dress, and retained the saber for wear on more formal occasions. The dress dagger was designed by Berlin graphic artist Paul Casberg and was officially approved for wear on May 4TH 1935 along with specifically styled dagger hangers and a new pattern portepee. Production of the dress dagger was to be discontinued as per regulations of May 27TH 1943 and further wear of the dress dagger was prohibited by order of September 5TH 1944. Additional regulations of December 23RD 1944 indicated that officer ranks were to wear a pistol in place of the dress dagger.

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY PARATROOPER'S BADGE WW2

WWII NAZI GERMAN ARMY PARATROOPER'S BADGE WW2

Lot # 483 (Sale Order: 543 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 1,000High Estimate: 1,500
Two piece, die struck alloy construction badge with gilded and silver washed finishes. The badge is in the form of a vertically oval, oak-leaf wreath with a small Wehrmacht style eagle with down swept wings, clutching a canted, swastika in it talons, superimpose to the top center, encompassing a stylized diving eagle. The stylized diving eagle shows nice detailing including spread talons. The eagle is attached to the wreath by two, small, dome headed rivets which are visible to the reverse. The reverse of the wreath has a barrel type hinge, a thin, round, vertical pin and catch all intact. C. E. Juncker production example. As a result of observations of the Russian experimentation with the newly developing paratroop personnel in 1928 the Germans began serious consideration of also developing paratroop units and plans were drawn up for formation of such units in late 1935. Both the Luftwaffe and Army eventually established paratrooper units, consisting of voluntary personnel, on January 29TH 1936 and March 31ST 1937 respectively and a paratroop training school was established at Stendal in early 1937. On September 1ST 1937, Oberbefehlshaber des Heeres, (Commander in Chief of the Army), Generaloberst Freiherr Werner von Fritsch established the Army Paratroopers qualification badge for award to personnel of the Fallschirm-Infanterie Bataillon, (Parachute Infantry Battalion), who had written the required tests and completed five parachute jumps. Individuals who were awarded the badge were obligated to re qualify annually, with a minimum of six parachute jumps, in order to retain it. On January 1ST 1939 the army’s Fallschirm-Infanterie Battalion was transferred to the control of the Luftwaffe and became "II.Bataillion Fallschirmjäger Regiment 1". These two battalions would become the nucleus of the 7.Flieger (Fallschirm) Division. As a result of this transfer the Army Paratroopers Badge was discontinued in favor of the Luftwaffe’s Paratroopers Badge, although holders of the Army pattern badge were allowed to retain it. Of Note: On June 1ST 1943 the Army Parachute Badge was reinstituted for award to qualifying personnel serving with the 15./Brandenburg Fallschirm-Kompanie, (15TH Paratroop Company), of the Brandenburg Division. It is believed the cloth version of the badge wasn’t introduced until in was reinstated in 1943 and then only in a machine embroidered pattern as opposed to most cloth badges that were generally in a hand embroidered versions for Officers ranks and in a machine embroidered version for EM/NCO’s.

WWII NAZI GERMAN WEHRMACHT AFRIKA CUFFTITLE WW2

WWII NAZI GERMAN WEHRMACHT AFRIKA CUFFTITLE WW2

Lot # 486 (Sale Order: 546 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 500
Woven brushed khaki/tan camelhair construction cuff title features machine embroidered, capitalized Latin script "Afrika" flanked by palm trees to either side in silvery/gray rayon threads. The top and bottom edges of the cuff title are bordered in machine stitched on horizontal, silvery/gray rayon Russian braiding. The cuff title has both the top and bottom edges machine stitched down to the reverse and has the typical opened back revealing the reverse of the embroidered script. In late 1940 the Germans began the hasty formation of the DAK, Deutsches Afrikakorps, (German Africa Corps), under command of, then Generalmajor, later Generalfeldmarschall, Erwin Rommel, as an expeditionary force to assist their Italian allies in the disastrous North African campaign. The first units of the DAK arrived in Tripoli in February 1941 and under Rommel’s inspired leadership the DAK and their Italian allies were soon able to push the British back and bring some stability to the region. As a result of the German OKW, Oberkommando der Wehrmacht, (High Command of the Armed Forces), preoccupation with the invasion and battles in Russia and a lack of adequate supplies and reinforcements, the DAK would finally be defeated by the British in May 1943. Of Note: On July 18TH 1941, an "Afrikakorps" cuff title was officially introduced for wear by personnel serving with the DAK. The "Afrika" cuff title was introduced on January 15TH 1943 and was the second cuff title in a series of four that held the status of a campaign award. The cuff title was considered a military combat decoration, and as such, was bestowed with a corresponding award possession document. The basic criteria for award of the "Afrika" cuff title, was a minimum of six months service in the African campaign, although personnel who had been wounded, contracted a tropical illness, or had won a military award, regardless of the time served in the African theatre were also entitled bestowal of the award. Of Note: With the introduction of the "Afrika" cuff title the previously worn "Afrikakorps" cuff title was ordered removed. Although the "Afrika" cuff title was a campaign award most personnel who had worn the "Afrikakorps" cuff title would have been eligible for award of the "Afrika" cuff title. Also Of Note: The four campaign award cuff titles consisted of the "Kreta", (Crete), introduced on October 16TH 1942, the "Afrika" cuff title introduced on January 15TH 1943, the "Metz" cuff title introduced on October 24TH 1944 and the "Kurland", (Courland), cuff title introduced on March 12TH 1945.
