This example is not in good condition, looking to have been very aggressively liberated during the war. Considering the subject matter it is amazing that it wasn’t burnt, run over by a Jeep, tossed into a latrine, or all three. Perhaps properly matted and framed it would make an interesting display piece. Fair. $750.00 ART #48147C Deluxe Framed Lithograph of Reichsjägermeister Hermann Göring
The professional framing work is of highest quality using the special glass produced to curb fading from light rays. The mint-conditioned modern frame is of wood being a brown color and highlighted with a lighter tan color on the edges. The reverse retains its paper backing. A wonderful package here for the hunting/forestry collector. Mint. $1,295.00 ART #47897 Framed Porcelain Of Colored Roe Buck (Rehbock) In Forest - Rosenthal
The porcelain remains in its original frame which is a brown color with gild edges. Overall the presentation is about 7 3/4 inches by 7 3/4 inches. The reverse is still factory sealed having the gilded brown color paper Rosenthal seal, as well as the stock number ink-stamped below, "No 2 Rehbock". In the upper right corner there is a retailer tag, "Porzellan-Kristal / Westermann / Sundern . Tel. 217". The wire hanging device attached is the typical German triangular type hardware. A very nice item. Mint. $495.00 ART #45878 Large Imperial Patriotic Naval Painting, "THE LAST MAN"
The scene depicts the World War I naval Battle of the Falkland Islands which occurred on 8 December 1914, resulting in a crushing defeat of the Germans by the British. Only 10 British lives were lost with the Germans losing 1800 lives and six war vessels including the armored cruiser, "Scharnhorst", she being relentlessly lashed by punishing broadsides from HMS Invincible and HMS Inflexible. The painting is artist-signed, "A. Wolf", and dated "30.3. 1916". Wolf was also a sailor in the Kaiserliche Marine. There is an old brass plaque attached to the lower painting frame engraved in the German language that states the painting by August Wolf was given to the artist's mother upon his death. The plaque basically states the painting is a "gift to the mother of our comrade August Wolf who was killed in the Battle of Skagerrak; from the unteroffiziers of the 2nd Division of 'SMF Kõnig' ". It seems terribly ironic that Wolf painted this work depicting the tragedy of the Falkland Island Battle less than two months before his own death in the pyrrhic Skagerrak victory over the British (Battle of Jutland) on May 13, 1916. The painting has two repairs which show on the reverse, but are not visible from the obverse. The painting could also use a cleaning which does not appear to have ever been performed. The original frame appears to be of 3 1/2 inch wide oak, showing some age, but still sound. The painting does not appear to have been removed from the frame. There are two large steel hanging brackets on the reverse. A fine period original work of art here that would look marvelous displayed with an Imperial Naval collection. I had intended to keep the painting myself to enhance my personal Imperial Naval collection, but alas, there is insufficient wall space in my collecting room. Excellent $2,495.00 ART #47899C Imperial Officer Bronze Presented To Retiring Medical Officer
On the other side of the bronze base it is stamped, "I.L.S. lin velkamp".The wood base below is formed of three separate wood sections each with fine angle-mitered corners. On the upper and middle wood base portions there is a brass plaque attached to each. The upper plaque reads in script, "Irhem scheidenden Kameraden" and then below this in Gothic-style print is, "Herrn Oberstabsarzt Dr. Muecke". The plaque mounted on the below base reads in Gothic-style print, "Die Offiziere und Sanitäts offiziere" and below in script engraving, "des 6 (ten) Brandenburgischen Infanterie Regiments No 52". Both plaques are retained by brass brads, although the left bottom example appears to be a replacement. This translates to, To our retiring comrade, Oberstabarzt Dr. Muecke, from the Officers and Medical officers of the 6th Brandenburg Infantrry Regiment #52. Quite a show piece here that could be researched and could also present an outstanding addition to an Imperial collection.Excellent Plus. $3,495.00 ART #47367C Bronze Hitler Bust on Marble Base
The detail to Hitler is outstanding throughout with his usual hairdo mustache and severe stern look at the viewer. The detail is outstanding throughout all of these facial parts. The reverse of the bronze is artist signed “T. M. Linz”. The marble base is about 2 and a high inches high by about 4 inches long and 4 inches wide. The bronze is retained via a screw that goes through the lower part of the base and through a hole within the neck area of the bust and then attaches with a nut. When we ship items like this we normally take the base off as it is much less risky to causing an accident during shipment. This is a very nice bronze that would add much to a Third Reich collection. The size is particularly attractive not being too small and not being too big just right! Excellent Plus. $2,995.00 ART #47368C Dedicated Small Silvered Hitler Bust on White Marble Base
The Hitler bust is extremely well done with all features completely plain and easy to see. Hitler has his normal looking of just looking forward with a serious expression on his face. The detail to the hair mustache eyes and nose et cetera is exceptional. The piece is marked on the reverse W. Z. 011. I believe that the lettering must have represented the initials of the artist but I do not know what the numerals mean. Attached to the marble base is a fine silver presentation plaque. The plaque is professionally engraved Unserem lb. Niko / von seinen Kameraden / der 5 S. St. A. This dedication is translated to Our Dear Friend Nico from his Comrades in the 5th Schiffstammabteilung. This dedication makes this hitler bronze a naval item as the Schiffstammabteilungen were the units responsible for the basic naval and military training of recruits when they were inducted. This unit, #5, was set up in March 1039 in Eckernforde and was subordinate to the admiral commanding the Ostsee or Baltic region. It later served in Libau in the east and in Epinal, France. Conceivably this unit to be researched to even add more interest to this nice bust. The bust is very attractive and extremely well made and being a nice pleasant size that will not overwhelm a space where it could be displayed. A very fine original item here of high quality. Excellent Plus Plus. $1,995.00 ART #46979C "The Knight at Dawn" by Jerry Crandall, Artist Signed & Autographed by Luftwaffe Ace Erich Hartmann
This limited edition print is numbered 191 of 1250 prints, the original painted by premier military aviation artist Jerry Crandall. "The Knight at Dawn" is signed by both Jerry as well as Luftwaffe ace Erich "Bubi" Hartmann. The limited run of 1250 prints was very popular and sold out long ago, making this piece a rare addition to any art collection. Hartmann was the most successful fighter ace in the history of aerial warfare. He flew 1,404 combat missions and participated in aerial combat on 825 separate occasions. The print was produced in 1991, only two years before Hartmann's death in 1993. I've included a link to his Wikipedia page as attempting to summarize his amazing career within the confines of an item description would be impossible. I don't know enough about German fighter planes to describe the piece in a way that does it justice; I will let our pictures do the talking. Suffice it to say that the Crandell depicts these machines of war with both high skill and loving detail against a very atmospheric backdrop. It depicts the Blond Knight and members of his wing taking off from a mist shrouded airfield at dawn, and does so in masterful fashion. An extremely fine post-war print here, and autographed by one of the most famous German aces of all time. Hartmann's autograph alone is worth the price of admission! Excellent. $995.00 ART #44347C Bronze Hitler Bust
Excellent Plus. $9,995.00 ART #45018 SS-LAH Gymnastic 1st Prize from Licterfelde Barracks Berlin
A great and very rare one-of-a kind bronze here that is just waiting for the opportunity to decorate its next owner's advanced SS collection. A very fine original item here. Excellent Plus. $2,795.00 ART #40413 Grenadier Statue
The soldier is rendered in the act of preparing to lob a stick grenade. The detailing to the uniform are superb. The face of the grenadier is extraordinarily done, capturing a look of concentration as he readies himself to fling his deadly potato masher. Four additional grenades hang from his belt, along with ammo pouches, a canteen and bread bag, and a gas mask canister. The boots are also nicely detailed, as is the bayonet which is partially hidden the his brace of grenades. The helmet has the "Frankenstein" style rivets and no breast eagle on the uniform so this probably dates from the early 1930's, although I hesitate to say this with certainty after allowing for artistic license. The pedestal base is professionally engraved "Z. Erinnerung / an / meine / 12 / jähr / Dienstzeit / d. Kamaraden d. 2 Schwadron". This tränslates to something like, "In Memory of My 12 Years Service (with) My Comrades of the 2nd Squadron". An outstanding period art piece here, perfect to dress up your collection. Excellent Plus, Plus. $1,195.00 ART #44338C Etched Glass Röhm Portrait
Mint. $2,450.00 ART #40344 Grand Admiral Dönitz Portrait
The detailing to the Naval Eagle and swastika, wreath, and "scrambled eggs" on the brim are quite well done, as are the Field Marshall batons on this shoulder boards. He also wears his Knight's Cross with Oak leaves. The painting has some cracking but there are no cuts or repairs. It looks to be in the original wooden frame. It measures 27 inches by 24 inches. The reverse has a tag which reads "Kriegsmarine / Stützputst Pillau / Kasino". This painting was allegedly found hanging in the submarine base at Pillau. There is also an attached hanging wire, so it's ready to be hung up. A compelling piece of period art here. It is not expensive and would definitely add interest to a Navy Dagger collection. Excellent Plus. $1,195.00 ART #39905 White Marble Bust of Mussolini
An extended panel on the base reads “Benito Mussolini Dux”. I don’t see any other markings on this bust. A great item to add to an Italian Fascist dagger collection, or as a paperweight for bills you’d rather not look at. Near Mint. $495.00 ART #28469 Reservist Soldier Bust on Marble
As the name would imply, this is a silvered bust of a solfier. He has excellent detail to his helmet, face, collar tabs, pockets, and even the 3rd Reich eagle can be seen above the man’s right pocket. This depiction has a silver finish, and must of the original frosting still clings to it. The bust is mounted to a white marble base, having a white felt bottom. The base has a crack running through it, but does not look like it is going to separate any further. A nice looking desk piece here. Excellent Plus. $125.00 ART #37561C Hermann Göring Portrait Plaque
The image of Hermann is very well done, and he is looking to the viewer's left. This type of plaque would have been displayed in an office or the like. The reverse has a bracket for mounting the piece, and the bolt that hold the head in place is visible. A great item here to spice up your Luftwaffe collection. Excellent Plus. $495.00 |
