WW1 US ARMY NEGRO 1ST SERGEANT COLORED PHOTO WWI

WW1 US ARMY NEGRO 1ST SERGEANT COLORED PHOTO WWI

Lot # 91 (Sale Order: 101 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 300High Estimate: 400
WW1 colored portrait of a black 1st sergeant of the US Army. The NCO is wearing a full complement of gear including his pistol belt and .45 automatic. The photo is housed in a bubble glass frame measuring 18 X 12 inches and in excellent condition. World War I When the war broke out, several African-American Americans joined Allied armies. Most notably, Eugene Bullard and Bob Scanlon joined the French Foreign Legion within weeks of the start of the war. Of the twelve African-Americans who joined the Legion at the start, only two survived the war. The U.S. armed forces remained segregated through World War I. Still, many African Americans volunteered to join the military following America's entry into the war. By the time of the armistice with Germany on November 11, 1918, over 200,000 African Americans had served with the American Expeditionary Force on the Western Front, while 170,000 remained in the United States. Most African-American units were largely relegated to support roles and did not see combat. Still, African Americans played a notable role in America's war effort. For example, the 369th Infantry Regiment, known as the "Harlem Hellfighters", was assigned to the French Army and served on the front lines for six months. 171 members of the 369th were awarded the Legion of Merit. Corporal Freddie Stowers of the 371st Infantry Regiment that was seconded to the 157th French Army division called the Red Hand Division in need of reinforcement under the command of the General Mariano Goybet was posthumously awarded a Medal of Honor—the only African American to be so honored for actions in World War I. During action in France, Stowers had led an assault on German trenches, continuing to lead and encourage his men even after being twice wounded. Stowers died from his wounds, but his men continued the fight and eventually defeated the German troops. Stowers was recommended for the Medal of Honor shortly after his death, but the nomination was, according to the Army, misplaced. In 1990, under pressure from Congress, the Department of the Army launched an investigation. Based on findings from this investigation, the Army Decorations Board approved the award of the Medal of Honor to Stowers. On April 24, 1991–73 years after he was killed in action—Stowers' two surviving sisters received the Medal of Honor from President George H. W. Bush at the White House. The success of the investigation leading to Stowers' Medal of Honor later sparked a similar review that resulted in six African Americans being posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for actions in World War II. Vernon Baker was the only recipient who was still alive to receive his award

WW1 US AMBULANCE SERVICE PAINTED CAMO HELMET WWI

WW1 US AMBULANCE SERVICE PAINTED CAMO HELMET WWI

Lot # 93 (Sale Order: 103 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 500High Estimate: 700
Stellar WW1 Ambulance Service Camo Painted US Made Helmet with Liner and Chinstrap. The helmet is in mint condition considering it's over 100 years old. The typical multi colored camo is separated with thick black lines. To the front of the lid is a white rooster om a red painted disk indicating the Ambulance Service. The interior like the outside is in near mint condition. The liner is complete with a full leather chinstrap. The Harjes Formation? In early October 1914 Harjes and his wife Frederica Berwind Harjes (1877? -1954), a member of the American Ambulance Hospital board, set up a mobile field hospital comprising several surgeons, orderlies, and drivers and set off to work in the Compiègne-Montdidier sector north of Paris, providing medical assistance for the French army. Their work continued through the autumn and winter of 1914-15 but increasingly, with more use by the French authorities of the mobile ambulance aspect of their operation, the drivers and vehicles began to operate independently of the medical facilities. In turn, more young American men were attracted to volunteer for work in this more active role. Harjes dropped the hospital branch in mid-February 1915. An element of ambulance duty that began to cause frustration for Harjes drivers and those of the other corps now operating in the field was that the French army was reluctant to allow the Americans to operate in or from frontline postes de secours (advanced dressing stations), given their status as nationals of a neutral power. The French feared that volunteers might harbour pro-German sympathies. Instead, the drivers were restricted to more routine "jitney" work, ferrying the sick and wounded from incoming sanitary trains to hospitals in rearguard towns and cities. The American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps? Richard Norton’s "Anglo-American" Corps began around the same time as Harjes and allied itself with the British Red Cross (BRC) after the American Ambulance Hospital refused to sponsor it. The hospital was initially unwilling to develop a large ambulance wing. The BRC helped underwrite some of Norton’s operating costs and used the corps to distribute supplies. Although technically attached to the BRC in Boulogne, the corps carried out most of its work in following months under the auspices of the French Second Army some seventy miles to the south-east. Norton’s relationship with the BRC was a strained one, with Norton finding his sponsor inflexible and administratively cumbersome. By December 1915 he joined Harjes – who had begun such a relationship six months earlier – in forging a link with the American (National) Red Cross (ANRC or ARC) instead. At the end of 1916 the Harjes and Norton corps merged into one ambulance unit, the Norton-Harjes Formation under the ARC banner. The American Ambulance Field Service? The work of the American Field Service, meanwhile, grew more directly and organically out of the American Ambulance Hospital in Neuilly. Differences remained between those on its board who wished to concentrate on core hospital work and others who saw the practical value of a mobile service. (The "Ambulance" in the hospital title had the association in France more akin to that of a military hospital than an emergency vehicle). But by late autumn 1914 its cars were allowed out into the field to serve regional hospitals. The AFS became the largest of the volunteer ambulance services, expanding rapidly with the arrival at the turn of 1914/1915 of Abram Piatt Andrew (1873-1936), a former assistant secretary of the US Treasury, who was to become the AFS’ director. Andrew extended the scope of his operation and eventually separated completely from the Ambulance Hospital in 1916. He developed the role of all the different volunteer corps in the field by persuading the French authorities in April 1915 to allow the volunteers of the three American services to function immediately behind frontline trenches in battlefield areas. As such, units of twenty-five to thirty men and some twenty ambulances were each assigned to individual French divisions, becoming the divisions’ principal ambulance service. Separate camion truck supply units were added, also manned by volunteers. They were to serve with the French across the Western Front and, in the case of two units of the AFS, with the French Army of the Orient in the Balkans. A principal source of recruitment for the services came from American colleges, with east coast Ivy League institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Dartmouth, and Cornell well represented plus west coast universities such as University of California, Berkeley, and Stanford. The colleges alone contributed some 1,855 men to the American Field Service, aided in the US by the recruitment efforts of Henry Sleeper (1878-1934), a friend of Piatt Andrew. AFS medical director Edmund Gros (1869-1942) also helped recruit AFS volunteers and others into the French legionnaire Lafayette Escadrille and Lafayette Flying C

WW1 IMPERIAL GERMAN PRUSSIAN SPIKED HELMET WWI

WW1 IMPERIAL GERMAN PRUSSIAN SPIKED HELMET WWI

Lot # 98 (Sale Order: 109 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 500
Prussian M1915 Pickelhaube in overall excellent condition. Eagle Wappen and removable M15 spike top are all original but the wappen is a period replacement. Prussian and Reich Kokardes and chinstrap are nice originals. Good solid undamaged leather liner. The rear neck flap is unit marked. Overall Very Good. Development of the pickelhaube may be traced back to the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV who initiated the original design and introduced it for wear by most of the Prussian line Infantry regiments on October 23RD 1842. The pickelhaube became a visual symbol of Prussia's military might and underwent numerous modifications starting in 1860 and continuing right up until 1915. The demise of the pickelhaube began in the fields of WWI as a result of increased head wounds suffered by the German troops which were mainly caused by grenade and shell fragments. As a result of the increased head wounds and the development of the first "modern" steel helmets by the French army in early 1915 and by the British army later that year the German army began tests for their own steel helmet at the Kummersdorf Proving Grounds in November, and in the field in December 1915. An acceptable pattern was developed and approved and production of the new steel helmets began at the Eisen-und Hüttenwerke, AG Thale/Harz, in the spring of 1916. After the introduction of the M16 helmet the pickelhaube was relegated for wear only on ceremonial occasions.

Low Estimate: 100High Estimate: 200
1914 pattern, die struck, three piece, iron and alloy construction Pattée style cross with a single piece iron core and a two piece silver alloy frame.

The grip is of carved wood covered in fine Moroccan leather. The leather is excellent, showing little wear. The grip is tightly wrapped springy metal wire.

The reverse ricasso of the blade is marked with the Seated King trademark of the SMF firm and the original blue leather blade washer is in place. Excellent In March 1933 the Deutscher Luftsport Verband, (German Air Sports League), was established by incorporating all civilian flying clubs into the one organization.

Regulations dictated that all Officer’s and senior NCO’s wear the sword with the Service, Reporting, Walking-out, and Parade Dress uniforms. The early issue swords were constructed with German nickel/silver or plated fittings while later models, (circa-1940), had aluminum fittings. Of Note: Wear of the Luftwaffe Officer’s swords was discontinued by order of December 23RD 1944.

Lot # 100a (Sale Order: 115 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 400High Estimate: 600
If there's something truly iconic related the Holocaust and ghettos, that's the star of David. Along with the blue/white striped uniforms, the barbed wire and the Zyklon B, this item is the most wanted by collectors and museums. These yellow stars were the shaped cloth patches Nazis obligued the Jews to wear sewn to their cloths so that everybody could know they were Jews, the "enemy" Nazis tried ruthlessly and mercilessly to exterminate until 1945. Nazis determined that Stars should be yellow and they must have the word "Jude" written inside it. Then other stars were created depending on the country the Jews were from: Belgium "J", Holland "Jood", France "Juif", Poland and Germany "Jude", Croatia "Zidov", Slowakia "HZ", etc. Having a star like this is having a piece of our history. A symbol of the suffering of a country without a land who had to bear its systematic extermination and persecution. Quite a few items do the talking so clearly only with a picture. These stars were sewn normally to a piece of thick cloth so that it could be then sewn and unsewn to different garments. Other people preferred to sew it around the edges and the black lines that conform the star without a thick piece of cloth below. Many set-ups have been seen in many period pictures indeed. This star is a 100% genuine non issued one, in mint condition, with the official yellow color and the official letter type for "Jude" word. They are made fine cotton thread and cut off from big sheets of stars. Many of these were manufactured in Ghettos like Litzmannstadt (Lodz) or Warsaw or in KL's where workshops were operative, by same Jews that were obligued to wear them. In this case, this particular star was brought back by a local veteran along with oher Waffen SS cloth insignia. Excellent

Excellent The SA, Sturm Abteilung, (Storm/Assault Detachment), was originally formed in the August 1921 as a protective guard unit for the political leaders of the fledgling NSDAP, Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, (National Socialist German Worker’s Party), and as with the NSDAP the SA was structure along para-military lines. The SA recruited most of its personnel from the ranks of the various Freikorps, (Free Corps), groups composed mainly of disgruntled, ex-WWI soldiers and was first utilized at a NSDAP meeting in Munich in November 1921.The SA M33 service dagger was the first dagger officially sanctioned by the NSDAP and was introduced on December 15TH 1933. The dagger was intended as an ornamental item and the design was adapted by Professor Woenne of the Solingen School of Commerce who had based it on the traditional 16TH century, Swiss "Holbein", "Baselard" or "Basilard", hunting dagger with the original design being attributed to the Hans Holbein the Younger, (Circa 1497-1543). Originally the daggers featured an anodized scabbard and utilized nice quality, solid, nickel/silver fittings while later models had cheaper, nickel/silver plated fittings and painted scabbards. Regulations dictated that the daggers were to worn on the left side of the waist belt suspended by a specific, dagger hanger. In late 1934 items manufactured for the SA including daggers and accoutrements came under the quality control of the RZM, Reichzeugmeisterei, (National Equipment Quartermaster) and as a result were marked with the RZM logo when appropriate. Of Note: The RZM 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. Production of the SA M33 dagger was discontinued sometime in 1943.

Lot # 104 (Sale Order: 120 of 784)      

Low Estimate: 800High Estimate: 1,000

This leather shows some usage with scuffs here and there, but be covered in with Meltonian leather cream and it cleaned up quite nicely. The grip is tightly wrapped with springy copper wire. The scabbard shell of this piece is straight throughout, and is also covered in Moroccan leather. The scabbard is in very good condition, showing minor scuffs to the leather. The scabbard mounts are the matching nickel-silver types, in good condition. They are retained by headless side screws. The original crescent hanger is in place, in good condition and equipped with a matching nickel-silver box clip. The blade is in near mint condition, with highest quality nickel-plated surfaces. It is marked on the reverse ricasso, F. & A. Helbig / Steinbach. Above the trademark is a waffenamt, consisting of a stickbird with a number 5 visible in his belly.
