Early Post War German Soldier Replacement Knights Cross W/Oak Leaf/Swords-Souval Maker

Lot #103 (Sale Order 115 of 330)

These early post war Knights Crosses were not made as reproductions to fool collectors!

The frame is silver hallmarked .800 and maker marked L/58 for the firm of Rudolf Souval, a prominent 3rd Reich award manufacturer. In a lot of cases original period frames and centers, along with original period Knights Cross ribbons were used. We believe this is the case for this early post war example. The hanger loop attached to the Oak Leaf/swords is also stamped 800 for silver content. These early post war examples were "official" replacements until the 1957 law/resolution banning the Swastika.

"Flying Tigers" AVG Pilot Wings-Collar Insignia-Silver

Lot #200a (Sale Order 225 of 330)

These wings and collar insignia were found at a local Church donation sale a few years ago here in Western North Carolina. (just FYI) The wings are full 3" size and appear to be cast silver. Excellent detail to the obverse and in the style of U.S. type manufactured wings, The AVG lettering on the front appears to have been separately applied/soldered to the shield and the shield was "smoothed" where the lettering was placed. The pin, hinge and open reverse "C" catch are a little more crude and have been affixed nicely into a circular countersunk indentation. These have been extremely difficult to research as there is not much information to be found to compare to original Chinese made wings that were also cast silver. There is a definite letter hallmark of some sort at the top of the shield on the reverse which is hard to make out as it has not been stamped clearly. The AVG letter collar insignia has the British type lug loop attachments that is known to have be the attachment method used on period examples. One is stamped .925 for silver content. If indeed this insignia is early WW2 Chinese theater made for AVG pilot officers, it is extremely rare. All have natural age patina. rare period examples? made for reunion? Please bid based on your own knowledge, expertise and/or research. We did find a pair of wings that were museum quality replicas that were similar but not the same, especially the reverse hardware. It was much more like that of standard made WW2 U.S. wings with locking clasp and patina was absent.
