66.)CASED 1939 IRON CROSS 1ST CLASS, EARLY 1960'S COPY: this is an exceptional reproduction and not one of the commonly encountered Flock pieces encountered out there in the market. I can only surmise that this fine piece came out of Austria or Germany some thirty five+ years ago and now it has toned with a pleasing rainbow patina. Smooth black enamel finished center is perfect, well detailed swastika and crisp '1939' date. Note that the beaded edge on nickel-silver frame is well defined and not washed out.

67.)THIRD REICH 'KUSTENSCHUTZ DANZIG' SAILOR'S SERVICE CAP; HIGH QUALITY REPRODUCTION: wonderful early 1960's reproduction that's so impressive that I'm reluctant to give it up. The 'Kustenschutz der Danziger Marine Polizei' (or literally the Danzig Coast Guard) was just that, a marine unit of the Danzig para-military police. Plenty of photograph evidence exists to showcase this obscure security unit of the Danzig Marine Police or coast guard. Sailor's cap is indeed a genuine German 'Bundesmarine' 1950's era service cap, aged and yellowed over the years to indeed appear quite genuine Third Reich period. With high quality reproduction "Kustenschutz Danzig" cap band, full length and properly tailored and positioned on cap. White top is mounted to navy blue wool base with genuine pigskin leather sweatband. On front is the skull insignia of the Danzig Homeland Police, the para-military constabulary which supported the entry of the Third Reich into German populated Poland. This nickel-silver skull is quite impressive although a copy and has crimson wool backing behind eyes. Below is the Danzig stamped metal cockade with red finished center. This is a great cap, a wonderful display item of the finest materials and construction. There's not another like it out there. You won't be disappointed! SOLD
68.)ARMY PARACHUTIST'S BADGE; EXCELLENT QUALITY COPY: obviously an early reproduction intended to deceive when made. Now convincingly aged to look very much like the real deal. This early copy displays what appears to be a genuine eagle device, separately applied, well detailed and properly 'grayed'. Very impressive fletching details and talons. Gold finished vaulted wreath is intact and lightly toned from the years; well details and nicely made. Reverse of badge has two flat rivets and has typical assault badge type hinge and 'C' hook catch, pin is brass metal and is pointed. This is a superb quality early copy.SOLD
69.)SPANISH CIVIL WAR GERMAN "LEGION CONDOR" PANZER BADGE FOR ARMORED TROOPS: prinzen-size early copy, constructed of high quality nickel-silver alloy, solid and well made. Dimensions are 30x38mm at its widest points. This is a particularly impressive piece, well detailed and disturbingly genuine in its appearance.

70.)1939 KNIGHT'S CROSS OF THE IRON CROSS WITH OAK LEAVES AND SWORDS; REPRODUCTION: splendid early copy, excellent quality workmanship typical of the material coming out of Austria in the 1960's.

71.)PANZER OFFICER'S DRESS VISOR CAP: nothing about this cap suggests that it is indeed a reproduction, except perhaps for the fact that little evidence of use is apparent when examining it.

74.)CONFEDERATE STATES ARMY ARTILLERY STANDARD; 1960'S REPRODUCTION: wonderful reproduction of the CSA artillery battle flag as sold during the early 1960's centennial. I love getting these 1960's reproductions when we can find them, being such a popular item these days. Fine quality heavy white cotton fabric, double-sided with screen printed details. Dimensions are 38x38". White border shows mild age yellowing from the years, some minor soiling and one small rip to fabric in lower right corner. Has two heavy duty brass grommets at bunting. Marked with maker along bunting 'Sherritt Flag Company, Richmond, Virginia'. If this flag stays here mounted on the office wall for a while, that's OK with me….it's pretty neat.
