decades ago, and was part of thousands of rings he acquired as a
militaria dealer. Approximate size 6.25+. $20
15GR - WWI GERMAN 2ND LIEUTENANT RING
Based on a note with
this ring from Dale when he purchased it many years ago, I believe it is
a 2nd Lt officer ring. I have no other information on it.
The top has an eagle or bird over 2 stripes. One side appears to
have 1915, but I cannot make out the other side. Shows typical
wear for its age. $95
MISCELLANEOUS WWI &
WWII GERMAN ITEMS
1G - WWI GERMAN WATCH FOB 4 1/2" long. Has
three hanging discs, each with depictions of military motifs. One side has
a biplane, a Navy ship, a submarine, and charging soldiers. The other side
has an eagle, an iron cross with 1914 and "MITT GOT FUR KAISER UND REICH", a
large tree with "WELT IRIEG 1914 1916". Overall nice detail and condition.
$95
2G - WWI CROSSED RIFLES PIN 1 1/4" wide x 1/2" tall
with a small round dangle below. Under the crossed rifles is an Iron Cross
with black enamel. Below that is a small circle with the words "FLANDERN"
with laurel wreaths around the perimeter. On the back side are the words
"ANDEKEN AN" under an Iron Cross. Nice details to the rifles. $45
3G - WWI GERMAN WAR CARD
GAME OF SCHAFKOPF
Deck of 31, lacking a single card. Box lists count at 32. It
revolves around familiarizing the users with the appearance of all the important
persons of the War, starting with Hindenberg, and working down. Most of
the cards have excellent color portraits of WWI personalities, including most
generals. Condition is very excellent. I can't offer a translation
of the considerable text on the box. A few words of the title are:
"Deutsche Kriegs-Spielkarte". Worth more than the price just for the
excellent portraits - all in color. $75
4G - WWI PAIR OF CUFF LINKS KAISER WILHELM Gold
coppery tone to the metal. Looks like celluloid photo of Kaiser, in good
condition for their age. Some very minute cracking if looked at through a
loupe. 5/8" diameter circle. They are attached to a piece of
cardboard which looks like they have been there a while. $95
5G - WWI GERMAN CUFF LINKS KAISER WILHELM In a
jewelry box, which is a bit worn inside and out, but not terrible, considering
its age. Has a decorative border on the front of the cuff link with a bust
of Kaiser Wilhelm in the middle. 7/8" tall ovals. The backs are
stamped "D.R.G.M. / D.R.P.a.". Unsure what that stands for. $110
6G -
GERMAN WWI PATRIOTIC BRACELET
Beautiful condition. Top is a squared oval entirely faced with fired
enamel in the National colors, red/white/black. On one segment is the
date "1914"...when the War began. Fairly small size, 2" across, for a
girl or young lady. $95
7G - WWII GERMAN LADIES BRACELET AND RING WITH SWASTIKA
Nice delicate set. The braacelet is quite decorative with nubs all around
the perimeter and a small swastika within a border. No markings on the
bracelet. The ring is plain with a simple swastika in the middle.
Stamped "900" underneath. Approximate size 6.5. Dale purchased this
set together from an auction house many, many years ago. $145
8G - WWI LADIES DELICATE BRACELET Nice more
delicate bracelet with the middle portion being a fancy plate faced with
leaves and acorns, featuring a fired enamel Iron Cross at center.
A bit of the bottom of the "9" is missing. The sides are a mesh
material, flexible. The clasp is missing a piece on one end so it
does not latch. Has the safety chain. Beautiful piece.
$65
9G - FINE WWI GERMAN TRENCH ART BRACELET
Jewelry grade bracelet made from the sabot off an artillery shell (brass driving
band from an artillery shell). 2 1/2" in diameter and approx. 1/2" wide.
Outer surface shows the grooving made by the passage of the shell through the
cannon barrel. Nicely gilded, showing only a trace of wear. Top face
has an oval decorative plate attached, faced with leaves and acorns, and
featuring a fired enamel Iron Cross at center. Bracelet hinges open for
wear. Opposite the hinge is a latch and safety chain. Quite
attractive. Practically new condition. Scarce motif. $95
10G -
WWI GERMAN JEWELRY GRADE TRENCH ART
Classic bracelet made from the sabot (brass driving band) of an
artillery shell. This bracelet is 2 1/2" in diameter, and 1/2" wide.
The outer surface has the imprint left from its passage through the
rifled bore. It was nicely finished and gilded, and cut to open on a
hinge so it could be put on. It has a latch opposite the hinge, with a
tiny safety chain. Affixed to one half the outer surface is a fine,
fired enamel Iron Cross, flanked with 3-dimensional sprays of oak leaves
and acorns. Inside is a nicely engraved presentation message reading
(as far as I can deduce the tiny writing)..."Meiner lieben Johnester zur
Erinerung an de Belagerung (?) von Verdun 1914-15 (and 2 initials).
Fine complete condition. Some wear to the gilt. $125
11G - CLASSIC WWI GERMAN TRENCH ART BRACELET
Made from the brass sabot from an artillery shell. Outer surface bears
the deep grooves from having passed through the cannon barrel. 2 1/2"
in diameter, prox. 1/2" wide. Brass has an attractive thin brown
patina. Top has fired enamel Iron Cross flanked by oak leaves and
acorns - some of the left decoration appears to be missing, but maybe
not. Inside the bracelet are two panels which read (in German) "KRIEGSERINNERUNG
1914 1916" ("Remembrance of the War 1914-1916"). $45
12G - WWI "GOTT MIT UNS" GERMAN CIGARETTE CASE
Nice item. 3" tall x 2 1/4" wide x 1" deep. Push a buttonon
the side, and the two covers on top open to allow you to slip in a
cigarette pack. Quite nicely made with black paint on front and
back, and silver metal for the rest of the case. A nice, large
medallion on front with a crown, the words "GOTT MIT UNS" and laurel
wreath below. Some decorative features on the metal. Most of
the black paint is intact,with only some minor loss on the back side.
$95
13G -
WWI GERMAN MINIATURE MEDALS - ORDERS
Worn by officers at formal occasions. Suspended from a horizontal fancy
gold chain. Total of 8 orders/medals...little jewels with superb
detail, three with fired enamel colors. Each order approx. 5/8" across.
Choice condition. Charm is affixed to the uniform by a fancy straight
pin at each end. Took considerable searching to obtain such a fine
specimen. $250
14G - WWI STICK PIN "Ein Gott, ein Kaiser ein Volk!" -
7/8" diameter celluloid black, white and red stick pin with that phrase "Ein
Gott, ein Kaiser ein Volk!" Translated means "One people, One realm, One
leader". Really excellent condition. $25
15G - WWI GERMAN "GOLD FOR IRON" WATCH CHAIN
12" long. Heavy iron links separated in three places with solid
oval links with text. Center one features the German eagle and
inscriptions on back reading "IN EISERNERZEIT 1916" (Iron Times).
The two other links with inscription are identified and read "GOLD ZUR
WEHR / EISEN ZUR EHR" around "1916" (Gold for Iron). One end has
hook for watch and the other has larger one for button hole. Fine
condition. $95
16G -
WWII GERMAN NAVY OR SUBMARINE SWEETHEART
BRACELET A very interesting and sweet item for a wife or
girlfriend of a German military man. A German friend of mine said the
translation on the heart is "Greetings from my heart". She also said her
father was a German Marine, and this would have been something he would
have given her mother. The bracelet is 7" wide, end to end, and is
quite decorative figure 8 with circular links in the middle of each. In
addition to the red enamel heart, there is an anchor with a tiny heart
attached, a Bavarian stein; even the lid lifts. The other side of the
stein is a scene of a house in a forest setting. On the other end is
what looks like a torpedo. With the Navy theme, perhaps this was for a
guy on a submarine. It's a charming charm bracelet, or as my friend
said they called them "friendship" bracelets, we called sweetheart.
$35
17G - GERMAN TRENCH ART PIN 1 3/4" wide
trench art pin, with some very nice decorations. Over laurel
wreaths is a crown and the German and British (I believe) flags over a
bow with an Iron Cross dangling below. Really excellent condition.
$45
18G - OVAL PHOTO PIN OF WWI GERMAN SOLDIER At
leat, I think it is WWI. 3/4" wide x 1 1/8" tall.
Gold finish to the setting and the pin on back. No markings.
Nice, crisp photo. No identification. $65
19G - WWI GERMAN GOLD FOR IRON PENDANT Much more
substantial than WWII tokens, primarily rings. This is a 1 9/16" diameter
brown black iron disc/pendant. Has ring on top for neck chain or pin back
support. Has female figure on front, handing over what looks like a
necklace. Front side reads "IN EISERNER ZEIT 1916". Reverse has
further text over small wreath reading "GOLD GAB ICH ZUR / WEHR EISEN /
NAHMICHZUR / EHR". At the very bottom is the word "HOSAEUS".
Excellent. $15
20G - GERMAN MINIATURE LAPEL RIBBONS, BELIEVE WWI Consists of a red, white and black miniature ribbon tied very much like a bow
tie. Back has small button for attaching to lapel. Have two,
different sizes. One is 7/8" wide, and the other is 1 1/4" wide...and has
gold crossed swords at center on the bigger one. The largest looks unused.
The other is excellent, just needs minor straightening on ends. The
two...$25
21G - OUTSTANDING C.1936 GERMAN CIGARETTE CARD ALBUM Entitled "DIE BUNTE
WELT" (which I believe translates to The Colorful or diverse) World.
Consists of 45 tissue separated pages, each with 6 different, small
colored cards, total 270 different cards. Each pictures some place,
person, animal, fish, insect or object of curiosity found over the world
and its many cultures. Completely filled in. I believe the cards came
as a premium with each pack of cigarettes. Album provides specific
place for each card, over an explanation. Condition of inside is clean,
excellent. Cover has embossed golden image of cathedral type building
over the title. Some edge wear. Rear cover has some edge tears and 1/2
x 1/4" piece of lower edge torn off. Exceptional album put out by the
Nazis just prior to WWII. Book measures 9 5/8 x 11 1/4". $50
22G -
1933 GERMAN CIGARETTE CARD ALBUM A
general term for a most unusual and handsome book which has besides
printed text, a great number of various sized colored pictures
individually glued in their designated spots. Some of these albums
actually were filled with cards obtained as premiums with cigarettes.
This wonderful volume is entitled "DEUTSCHLAND HOCH IN EHREN". Cover
shows a UHLAN with horse. Content seems to relate German military
history from the earliest times to the present (1933). 9 x 13'',
thick, stiff paper covers. 66 pages. I estimate well over 300 color
insert pictures, predominantly combat. Complete. Clean. Excellent.
Shows some handling/edge rubbing. $50
23G - WWII & EARLIER GERMAN COIN BRACELET
Don't know if this was sold as a souvenir during the War, or during Occupation.
It seems appropriate for both. Bracelet consists of nine brass coins,
linked together by a neat loop of wire. Clasp is a single wire loop.
Coins are all 5 & 10 pfennig, and all but one has eagle on a wreath around a
swastika. All date in the 1930's, but last digit is obscured on most if
not all by the hole for the wire link. One coin is pre-Nazi (1923).
This seems like something a G.I. would like as a souvenir. Coins are in
very excellent condition. 8" long. $55
24G - WWII & EARLIER GERMAN COIN BRACELET
Nice selection of early German coins from the 1930's with Nazi/swastika design,
as far back as 1875 (one coin) and the Imperial Period. Most are from the
1920's. There are four Nazi coins, and the rest earlier. Needs
simple "U" shaped wire clasp. The entire bracelet and coins have tarnished
to a coppery brown. Coins are very good. Can't say if this was sold
to German soldiers, and the general public, or to American soldiers as a
souvenir. Seems appropriate for both. About 7 1/4" long.
$45
 
25G - A MASSIVE WALL CALENDAR - LUFTWAFFE 1943
14 1/8 X 17" closed. It's going to be hard for me to describe
properly, so please rely on the photos. This is not your normal
calendar, where a complete month is on one page. These pages flow
from week to week, each month. Each page has another German
airplane, and its name and basic information, in German. There are
Stuka, Junkers, Messerschmitt, Dornier, and many others. There are float
planes and transporters. These are copies of real photographs it
looks to me. The planes have swastikas and many other interesting
things to study. From what I can tell, there are some missing
pages of some weeks in some of the months. There are also three
separate pages stuck in the rear, one looks like a week that has the
bottom removed. There is a sticker pasted on the inside back
cover, which reads in part: "FARBAUFNAHMEN AGFA-COLOR (then a bunch of
names below) Entwurf und Gestaltung: C. Gerger / ------UKTION UND
OFFSETDRUCK / CARL WERNER - REICHENBACH i.V. / Gedrucki in Deutschland -
Printed in Germany - Imprime en Allemagne". The cover is a bit
rough, and has some old tape repairs. Dale purchased this in 1988.
It is an amazing thing to look through. Priced at cost...$250
26G - WWI ERA FANCY GERMAN MARITIME BADGE - IN ORIGINAL
JEWELER'S CASE Reading the inside of the lid and what
appears as a repeat on the life preserver separate medal is "EHRENWART *
DEUTSCHER FLOTTEN-VEREIN" which seems to translate to "HONOR OF GERMAN
MECHANIC Flottenverein". The badge is 3 3/4" tall and begins at
top with silver crown and ribband. Below is a red/white/black
ribbon. Detached from the bottom of the ribbon is a gorgeous
nautical pendant - gold anchor at rear, life preserver in front with
fired enamel in maroon. At center is a black eagle. Top
quality. Ribbon shows lots of handling. Original case.
$125
27G - WWI GERMAN PENDANT WORN AS A PATRIOTIC DISPLAY
Consists of a specially made Iron Cross encircled with a wreath of oak
leaves, the standard German decoration. The Iron Cross is faced
with glossy black fired enamel, silver edging to the cross, and interior
details such as crown, dates 1914-15, and sprig of oak. Fine
condition. Has ring at top for neck chain. Pendant measures
1 1/8". It was common during the War to wear patriotic pins or
pendants with dates. $40
28G -
WWI GERMAN PATRIOTIC "HOME FRONT" POCKET MIRROR
2" in diameter. One side of the circular mirror case has a bright 1/4"
steel border around a photo which joined two busts - Hindenberg and the
Kaiser. Lifting the face (lid) reveals a circular mirror inside. Has a
wire loop on one end to hang mirror on a nail. Excellent. $45
29G - A SELECTION OF
BEAUTIFUL WWI GERMAN or AUSTRIAN VIVAT SILK RIBBONS
From Wikipedia: "These were silk ribbons with printed patriotic messages
popular in Germany and Austria during World War I. They celebrated various
battles and important events, as well as royalty and the military leaders. They
were designed by many famous German artists of the period. Their name was
derived from word "Vivat!" ("Live!")
printed on most of ribbons. During World War I many ribbons were released by the
German Red Cross to raise funds for war relief and had the following text on the
bottom "Zum Besten Des Roten Kreuzes; Verlag
Amsler u. Ruthardt; Berlin W8" ("To the benefit of the Red Cross;
Verlag Amsler & Ruthardt; Berlin W8")."
All listed below are in amazing MINT condition. I tried to get as close to the
true color, but variations might exist due to lighting conditions during
photographing. Also because they each have been folded in fourths and
stored that way, they will need a light ironing. Therefore, some of the
photos will also show shadowing. Sizes are roughly 2 1/2 x 15 3/4",
some slightly shorter. Each $25...Buy three or more, $20 each
