EG1 Death Document/Condolence Document. Professionally mounted in an 8" X 10" gold and black metal frame with the glass. The document is made out for Alwin Fenger. and describes that he was shot through the heart at the battle of Quibermeanil on June 7. 1940 just before his 30th birthday. $65 Pictures: A B C EG2 Regimental Stein brought back by Bill Richardson (see EG4) Civilian stein with some sage advise about keeping the wolf out of your home. The white glass body of the stein has a nude Lithopane. Perfect condition. maker marked on the bottom with a Crown B. Priced right at $50 Pictures: A B C D E F EG3 Political Belt Buckle. Introduced in 1939 M 4/24 (Freidrick Landen) and produced by the firm of Ludenscheid. Gold high lights are still present on the oak leaf wreaths and Swastika. Most of these have wear of some sort, but the gold finish on this one is about as good as it can get. $200 Pictures: A B C EG4 Enamel on silver Bracelet, 7.25 inches long, 13 insignia including the Nazi Flag, and an anchor with shield that has the letters: H A P A C . The insignia appear to be signal flags and the bracelet belonged to a lady married/going with a Sailor for the Third Reich. CONSIGNRH $75 Pictures: A B EG5 1944 training manual for PANZERGRENADIERE. 196 pages of instruction on setting up tank movements, traps, hammer/anvil movements, and evasive techniques. The only one like this that I have seen. $40 Pictures: A B C D EG6 RAD Belt Buckle with leather tab. The date on the tab in 1937, but all that I can make out of the rest is RED--SIL. The body is heavy cast aluminum with an integral catch for the hook. The green paint is present on the back of the buckle but only about 25% on the face. The marking on the back is in bas relief and is olo in a double diamond and 37 in the RZM marking. There is some wear to the shovel and on the swastika, but these were meant for use in the field and not dress. $125 Pictures: A B C D EG7 Belt loops for 'Y' straps or anything that was suspended from the belt of the German soldier. I have three, one marked 1940 and another marked G. Schau Guttenburg A/B. Each has their own unique appearance but most of the time, they won't show much while on a mannequin or re-enactor's uniform. All three go for the price of $60. Pictures: A B EG8 Luftwaffe Belt and Buckle. The leather tab on the buckle is dated 1939 and has he regimental marking of L. B. A. (Luftwaffen BeckLeidungs AMT, Air Force clothing depot) The type two Luft buckle has the up-swept tail and was used after 1939. The heavy pebbled aluminum casting was common for dress parade but no gray paint. Later versions had the paint that was more useful for camouflage purposes. Hallmarked F. R. 39 The belt is later as they had the rough side of the leather out and the top grain against the body. The hook has the gray paint present. This one has been shortened by the military clothing depot: you can see the holes left by the original stitching. Most of the original belts show a marked weight loss by the owners. $145 Pictures: A B D E F EG9 SOLD EG10 RAD Belt Buckle. Two piece construction, but light weight so when the owner practiced "hit the dirt", the center piece was dented. Still, it is an unusual variation and no paint is found in the pebbled finish and on the underside of the buckle. There are no hall marks as is usual for this type of construction from just before the war. $95 Pictures: A B EG11 Federal Republic NCO Buckle with leather tab. Excellent condition and very difficult to find. $90 Pictures: A B EG12 Dagger Hanger Suspension. Brown Leather 'Tear Drop' with steel 'D' ring. Orange stitching around the body. Excellent condition and difficult to find! The snap on the end of the hangers would clip on the 'D' ring. $75 Pictures: A B EG13 Regimental Stein, reproduction from the Eighties. Triangle hallmark with B M F in the middle. White glass with Cavalry motif. 69th Cavalry Regiment. Horse and rider on top of lid. $90 Pictures: A B C EG14 Regimental Stein, Officer's grade all in pewter. The only officer's stein I have seen.

The lid panel is of the Altenburg castle in Bamberg. Excellent condition. CONSIGNEJ $750 Pictures: A B C D E EG15 Shell Art: WWI Match safe made from brass shotgun shells, one 10 Ga. and one 12 ga. matches included. $20 Pictures: A B EG16 Luftwaffe Pebbled Belt Buckle. Type 2 Luftwaffe buckle with the leather tab. The maker is B. Aurich, Dresden 1939 and has the L.B.A for the Luftwaffe clothing Depot. This one shows traces of the gray paint on the face but not on the back of the buckle. It was probably painted just after the war broke out and the owner worked the rest of the war in the Clothing Depot. Cast aluminum with the Assman 'A' hallmark and '39'. $115 because of the great condition. Pictures: A B C D PENDING EG17 Dagger Hanger Suspension. Dark brown ersatz pebbled 'Tear Drop' with steel 'D' ring. Late hanger in excellent condition. The snap on the end of the dagger hanger would clip on the D ring, either through the slot at the top of the lower left pocket. The loop at the top would be suspended from the waist belt. Unusual! $75 Pictures: A B EG18 "Sanitized" Early Police Buckle. The stamping on the older pieces was made with heavy aluminum blanks, so this one was thick enough to have the swastika removed and still leave a center piece without holes from the sanding. The Gott Mit Uns and the wreath is plain and without damage. $25 Pictures: A B C EG19 Regimental Stein, Kgl. Sachs. 15. Inft. Rgt. Nr. 181 Chemnik, 2. Comp. 1900-02. Named to Tambour Ernst Heinz.

CONSIGNEJ $575 Pictures: A B C D E F EG20 Army Belt, Buckle, and 'D' rings. Perfect for someone who is assembling a mannequin. The buckle is early cast aluminum with integral hook and pebbled background with the leather tab. There is a hall mark on the tab That says Fransfeld & Co. 1937 The inside of the buckle is painted dark green and the same green can be seen around the wreath and eagle. The belt is size 92 and has the rough side out and top grain inside. The outside is dyed black but the inside is still the leather color, there is a stamp: M. R. next to the hook part of the belt. Stitching is still white. 'D' ring loops are early with the rounded shape rather than the later stamped square pattern. A complete set. $200 Pictures: A B C D E F G EG23 Cross Strap for The Army officer's Belt. Used to help support the weight of a pistol. The belt would slip through the leather loop and the the snap would clip onto a D ring at the end of a leather loop around the belt. Not a common item! Has been worn and the brass stud has been fitted in the other two holes. Good plus condition. $70 Picture: A EG24 WWI Butcher Bayonet (no scabbard) The hall mark on the ricasso is Amberg with a crown, the other side is markedF.Herder A.S Solingen (with crossed keys as the hall mark) The date on the back of the blade is 15 (1915 under a crown) The blade has been lightly sharpened and is free from nicks or gouges the only discoloration on the ricasso next to the cross guard is very light. Wood grip panels are in good shape. Two Proof marks are on the 'bird head pommel: Crown over either a K or an R. $95 Pictures: A B C D E F G I J K EG25 K98 'Tobacco tin', RG34 cleaning kit. Late war production. The manufacture's code is AB 44 and the Waffen amt is WaA 313 under the eagle and swastika. The construction of the oiler has changed from steel to Bakelite and the cleaning chain has become lighter with smaller aluminum 'beads'. The body of the kit has stampings to support the smaller interior section rather than a more skilled and time consuming welding process. The brushes remain the same but the paint has been changed from a heavier coat on zinc plate. Steps have been taken to make the hinges more rapidly thus more crude. The tool used to clean the receiver and depress the magazine plate is still included. this one is stamped HAWIG. Not too many of these around any more. $65 Pictures: A B C D E F G
EJ2 Goggle Case, Pigskin belt case used for carrying goggles. The vet told me that this one had 8mm Nambu ammunition in it when he got it on the battle field. The stitching is in great condition but he leather is a little stiff. $50 Pictures: A B C EJ3 Wrist Compass, never issued. This had a leather strap that buckled around the wrist.

Only one available. $45 Picture: A B EJ4 Menko:
Menko - encyclopedia
article about Menko.
a
Japanese card game played by two or more players. It is also the name of the
type of cards used to play this game. Each player uses Menko cards made from
thick paper or cardboard, with one or both side printed with images from
anime,
manga, etc. A player's card is placed on the hardwood or concrete floor and
the other player throws down his card, trying to flip the other player's card
with a gust of wind or by striking his card against the other card. If he
succeeds, he takes both cards. The player who takes all the cards, or the one
with the most cards at the game's end, wins the game. This game was sent to me by a good friend who ran across the set of cards and this link to the instructions. If you are interested, the cost is $75 Pictures: A B EJ6 WWII Meatball floatation flag, 31" X 38".

Both the eye piece rings are marked with the maker's name and the lens are quite large, the lens at the end fills the entire barrel tube. Leather wraps the body between the adjustment piece and the sunshades. I have had Civil War and Indian War binoculars that are identical to this.

I cannot tell you why it was not dressed properly, but it is what it is. $180 Pictures: A B C D EA40 WWII EM belt buckle, back is marked SOLID BRASS Made in U.S.A.

The 8th and 9th AAC flew out of that base and wanted their own construction crew there to repair any damage from bombing or hard landings from their own bombers.

The 9th patch, the winged star, one Tech sgt. rank, the Hershey bars, and the ruptured duck were taken off by his wife to make a display picture frame of his military exploits. I got the 9th AAC patch, the winged star, and the Tech Sgt. chevrons that he had as extras and they stay with the uniform. The garrison cap has the engineer piping. The winter wool straight leg pants seldom made it home as the soldiers were shipped out in the summer of 45, so these are difficult to find.
