This Army Assault Badge is a fine example, having good crisp details, and much of the silvered look still there. The badge is an oval shape, having an oak leaf border with acorns. At the top of the oval is a closed winged Wehrmacht eagle, clutching a mobile swastika. Scattered across the oval badge is a K-98 rifle, with strap and bayonet affixed. Outstanding badge here. On the reverse is the raised out maker marking, “S.H.u C. 1941”. The pin has a barrel hinge and a cup hook. The cup hook is bent over, and rather than straighten it, I think it is best to be left as is, as the cup could break off. A very nice medal here. Excellent, Plus (27271) $225.00

MEDALS - 103 - 24293 - DRL SILVER BADGE

This DRL badge has excellent silvering throughout its surfaces which are plated over a bronze base. There is some wear to the silvering on the higher edges, but it is still at about 98%.

Excellent Plus $125.00

MEDALS - 104 - 24294 - DRL GOLD BADGE

This Gold DRL Badge is the highest of these awards. There is lots of gild present over the bronze base being at least 50-60%. No doubt that this is a gold award. The badge consists of ovaled overlapping oak leaves with a mobile swastika at the bottom. In the open area between the wreath, are the floating letters, "DRL" in cipher-like depiction. The reverse of the badge is DRGM marked and has the maker mark, "Wernstein Jena". A hard to find DRL badge.
Excellent Plus $175.00

MEDALS - 106 - 24290 - SA SILVER SPORTS BADGE

The Silvered SA Sports Badge is more difficult to obtain than the bronze. This example features a round wreath of overlapping oak leaves. In the center is a mobile swastika with a superimposed Roman-like sword over the swastika. The silvering is nearly 100% having some age darkening in the lower areas. The reverse of this medal is stamped with maker markings, "W. Redo" and "Eigentum D. Obers / S.A. Fuhrung", "Saar". This is a fine badge.
Excellent Plus $225.00

MEDALS - 107 - 24291 - SA GOLD SPORTS BADGE

A "floating" mobile swastika is in the center of the wreath, and superimposed over it, is a Roman-like sword. Good detail throughout these surfaces. The reverse of this badge has various markings being, "Pechler", "S.A. Sportage", "Barngark / S.A.". Some of these markings are rather faint and I don't think that I have them totally right, but you can get the idea. This is a rarely seen original Gold Sports Badge. Not many of these were awarded.
Excellent Plus $325.00

 

MEDALS - 110 - 26585C - ENTRY INTO AUSTRIA MEDAL WITH “BOW TIE” STYLE RIBBON

The Entry Into Austria medal is about the size of a fifty-cent piece and it has a silvered finish. It depicts two naked men who are carrying standarts, one of which has a swastika on it.

In the center the date the Nazis moved into Austria, “13 März 1938". Attached to the ring is an interesting Entry Into Austria ribbon. It is the standard ribbon, being red with white, black and white edges. This ribbon, though, is tied into a bow tie format and has a standard safety pin attachment on the reverse. It is possible that this medal could have been worn by a woman, but I do not know. The bow tie configuration is absolutely original and is quite interesting. Excellent Plus Plus. $225.00

 

MEDALS - 113 - 26578C - CASED 18-YEAR SILVER POLICE AWARD

Placed in the center in the open pierced area is a bomb which has wings on its sides and also two wings on its tail. The detail is quite beautiful throughout this clasp. The reverse is marked “G.H. Osang/Dresden”. The pin on the back is a coke bottle shape that has a line running through the center. The pin is hinged on a barrel style device with a cup hook at the end. There is a dome head style rivet which retains the bomb device. A beautiful example here. Near Mint. $750.00

MEDALS - 121 - 2ND CLASS IRON CROSS WITH RIBBON

This Iron Cross is beginning to patina but it still has a very fresh appearance. I doubt that it was issued. The serrations are crisp and the points of the cross ends are still needlelike. Although it is unmarked the cross has a very highly vaulted center swastika as well as 1939 date.

Near Mint (27215) $95.00



MEDALS - 127 - 27169 - 5th Class Japanese Rising Sun Order

This Order of the Rising Sun is quite beautiful, and is a really impressive medal. It has mostly the same motif on both sides. The upper part of the medal has a green leaf-like shape, having red berries above it. The leaf has a lot of writing in Japanese in gold. On the other side, the detail is basically the same, except there is no Japanese writing. The medal itself is a large sunburst item, about the size of a silver dollar. There are a lot of white enamel legs in the sunburst. In the center is a rounded red stone, which appears to possibly be glass. Above this is a loop for suspension from a ribbon. All of the enamel and other features of the medal are intact.
Near Mint (27169) $250.00

 

MEDALS - 128 - 27040 - Saarland Tinnie

This Saarland Tinnie is an 8-sided figure, which is in a nickel finish. In the center of the tinnie is a Political eagle, with half opened wings clutching a swastika, resting on a pedestal. The date on the pedestal is “1934”. Below this are shaking hands, and below this is, “Des/Deutschen/ehre ist Die/Treue”. Running around the perimeter of the medal is, “Deutsch ist die Saar”.

MEDALS - 129 - 27121- Miniature Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords

This Miniature Knight’s Cross with Oak Leaves and Swords is mounted to a ribbon, and has a stick pin for wearing on the lapel. I believe that it is an extremely rare miniature. It comes in the original “LDO” manila paper, and has the initials printed in black on the obverse. This medal shows age throughout, but no abuse whatsoever, and should be highly collectable. The ribbon is the satin lined copper type, and it is white in the center, with two lines of white and black bordering the edges. Looped over the ribbon are the oak leaves with the crossed swords. The detail is quite good to this miniaturized version of these rarely seen awards. There is a small loop which connects the Knight’s Cross piece to the upper oak leaves and swords. This Knight’s Cross has the silvered edges, the raised out swastika in the center, and the date “1939” on the bottom leg. The reverse of the Cross has the “1813” date on the bottom line of that side. The paint enamel is still all there. The pin is soldered to the back of the oak leaves and swords portion. This is really a great thing, that I believe to be totally original. A great item to wear on your sport jacket, at the coming Max show!
Excellent, Plus (27121) $1,495.00

MEDALS - 130 - 27118 - SS Members Lapel Stick Pin

This Stick Pin features a set of round SS runes. The runes are quite large measuring amount ½ inch in diameter. The surface of the runes button has black enamel, which has some chips in the surface, but all in all, the enamel rates at about 95%. The button features two silver circles which are around the diameter border, and of course, on the inside is the set of silvered SS runes. They are soldered to a pin. The pin has some serrations cut into its surfaces, so that it doesn’t slip out of the wearer’s lapel. A good item to display with some other SS militaria.
Excellent, Plus (27118) $395.00


MEDALS - 132 - 27122 - Bronze Non-Portable Nüremberg 1929 Party Day Shield

This Nüremberg Party Day Shield is in outstanding condition, being the type which originally came in a small case, and was to be displayed on a table. The 1929 rally was extremely important to Hitler, and only those who were high Party officials, received these shields. This example has wonderful detail to the upper border, featuring the medieval buildings of this favored city. In the center of the shield is an Imperial style helmet, with wreathed swastika on the helmet’s surface. There is a bird atop the helmet, simulating the old Imperial look, but the bird is a Party type. Beneath the helmet is the purpose of the award in three words, “Partei/Tag/1929”. Next to the bird is the date “1914”, and to the right of bird is the date “1919”, and the letters “NSDAP”. The reverse of the medal is stamped with the maker mark, “Hoffstetter Bonn”. A fine example here, which would look great with other political things. Excellent, Plus, Plus (27122) $795.00

This shield is the silver version, and it features the medieval buildings of Nüremberg at the top. Below this is the city name, and in the shield area, there is depicted a raised out German helmet with eagle atop, clutching a wreathed immobile swastika. The details to the bird and the helmet are outstanding. To the left, and right of the bird, are the dates “1914” and “1919”, “NSDAP”. At the bottom beneath the helmet is in three lines, raised out, “Partei/Tag/1929”. On the reverse of the badge is the maker mark, “F Hoffstatter/Bonn/800”.
Near Mint (27095) $895.00(#062408)

 

MEDALS - 134 - 27119 - Seven Award Ribbon Cluster Lapel Button Backed Pin

I have never seen a cluster like this, but what has been done is the seven awards, that this officer received, have had the ribbons miniaturized and all put together, staged so that each ribbon can be seen individually from the edges. At the top of the award is a crown over a set of crossed swords. The top ribbon also appears to be the Iron Cross. This is definitely an Imperial cluster, and must have been worn probably on the lapel of the original owner’s civilian jacket. There is a button on the reverse, which is marked, “Solide/meumeit”. A very nice award here, and something which the Imperial collector should easily be able to determine the medals received by the color of the ribbons.
