SS CHAINED LEADERS DAGGER 1936 MODEL.
This SS officers dagger has some condition issues but it is 100% original and priced very realistically at about 50% of the cost of a near mint example and is probably the cheapest one on the web at the moment. This example dates to about 1938 or there about's. All silver plated hilt fittings retain abut 85% original plating. The black wooden grip is fitted with silver eagle and SS enamel runic badge and which are both in perfect condition, there is a chip to the obverse side of the grip close to the upper crossguard, the revers side also has some flakes from the grip also just below the upper crossguard, the chips are not that bad and could easily be repaired. The blade features the SS motto to the obverse side, the reverse side is plain with out a makers name which is correct for a chained dagger and it is what you hope to see, the blade does have some age marks to both sides but could be improved by carful cleaning. Black painted scabbard which is fitted with three plated fittings, the central fitting is decorated with six linked swastikas, the black paint shows some wear on the obverse and reverse sides and there is also a tiny pressure point dent just below the central mount but this is very minor. Complete with 2nd pattern chain hanger in fine condition and featuring links decorated with skulls and SS runes, the reverse side of one of the links is stamped with the SS Kulturezeichen acceptance stamp. This is not a mint dagger but it is priced at a bargain price, carful and sympathetic restoration would greatly increase its value. Exc+

The white celluloid grip plates are in perfect condition with no chips or cracks. The blade is also in fine condition, the obverse side features the RAD motto and he reverse side the makers details, Eickhorn Solingen and being there 1935 / 41 pattern trade mark.

COLOURED PORCELAIN PLAQUE OF THE FUHRER ADOLF HITLER.
A fine quality full colour and glazed porcelain plaque of the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, he is wearing party uniform with overcoat. The plaque is very similar to the well known Rosenthal Hitler plaque but with some small differences. The reverse is stamped 101 which is probably a model number and also the German manufactures stamp which I do not recognize but with reserch could probably be discovered. Size 8 x 6 inches [Condition: Mint]
SS OFFICERS SWORD COMPLETE WITH SS PORTEPEE KNOT AND BLACK LEATHER HANGER.
This is a superb SS officer degen that has never been cleaned and so it has a very attractive age patina. The black wooden grip is in perfect condition with no chip or cracks, the beautiful grip is inset with silver runic badge to the obverse side. The nickel hilt fittings have a superb age patina but would easily clean if required but personally I would leave it as it is. The pommel is the type only used on SS swords, it screws into the hilt of the sword and not the tang of the blade (the pommel on a police sword always screws into the tang of the blade). The blade is in near mint condition and it does not have a makers name which is correct for the SS officers sword (SS officers swords will be found with un-marked blades or by Krebs or PMD, any other maker would be highly questionable). The matching scabbard is also extremely nice, the original black scabbard paint is mostly complete just showing light age, the lower fitting is held in place with pressure and not by screws. Attached to the hilt of the sword is a very nice silver and black SS officers portepee with SS runic insignia to the stem and complete with black leather sword hanger. SS officers swords have always been very difficult to find because unlike the SS chained dagger which most officers automatically received after being commissioned as an SS officer, the SS officers sword was personally awarded by the Reichfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler and could not be purchased.

The reverse side still retains original backing material. Purchased privately along with a Luftwaffe dagger and Luftwaffe flight bar and it has never been in a collection. Exc++ or better.
THIRD REICH POISONOUS MUSHROOM BOOK .
Probably the most anti sematic book ever published. The book was published in 1938 by Julius Strikers Der Sturmer publishing house. The book was actually intended for Children and warning them of the danger of Jews by the use of fairy tale like stores and disturbing pictorial full colour imagery. A very rare book. Near mint.
