German WWII Waffen SS VT/TV Summer Weight Drill Tunic.
An early SS Summer Weight Tunic in excellent condition. These early Summer Weight Tunics were originally intended to be used as drill tunics and saw most of their use between the years 1934 to 1939, with many still being worn well into the war years. Many of these tunics were completely worn out within the first years of the war, so finding original examples today can prove difficult. The tunic itself is a Heer pattern summer weight tunic. The base fabric of the tunic is made out of an earth grey colored, fine cotton twill. The tunic has four pleated front pockets with scalloped flaps, with the two lower front pockets being angled slash pockets. The tunic uses six closure buttons, which are held in place by metal retainers on the interior side. The collar tabs are neatly hand stitched in place by sewing under the tab and only through the first layer, the thread does not penetrate to the underside of the collar. The SS runes are made of white cotton machine stitched to a high quality black badge cloth backing. The rank tab is also made of high quality black badge cloth backing with two silver pips attached for the rank of "SS Oberscharfuhrer". The sleeve eagle is an earlier nicely made "Hammerhead" variant made of white cotton machine woven on a high quality badge cloth backing. The eagle is neatly hand stitched to the sleeve. The slip-on style SS Scharfuhrer rank boards seem to be of a later make than the rest of the insignia, but are original and match the rank of the corresponding collar tab. Scattered light marks can be observed on the sleeves and the lower portion of the tunic near the slash pockets. No tags or size markings can be found on the tunics interior. This is an incredible opportunity to take home an early SS Summer Weight Drill Tunic.Read more

Original U.S. WWII 1942 "Someone Talked" Propaganda Poster by Frederick
This World War II Someone Talked 1942 propaganda poster was created by artist Fred Siebel. This iconic poster depicts a man drowning while he points at you. This particular poster is notable for being part of a 1942 contest sponsored by Devoe & Reynolds Painting Company to create images that would reinforce the importance of protecting information. Careless discussion of the whereabouts of troops or ships was hazardous to National Security, and many troop ships were being attacked by German U-boats. The contest was judged by notable individuals, such as Eleanor Roosevelt, and this poster won numerous awards. It was placed on display at Radio City, and copies were distributed throughout the country. These posters and others like it were displayed in shipyards, army and navy posts, waterfront bars, restaurants, public buildings and gathering places. Basically, wherever there was danger of spies or saboteurs. CONDITION: This poster shows crisp, bright colors with no fading. It is in its original guise with 1942 fold lines from its original shipping. It has not been linen mounted or restored in any way. Measures: 40" by 28".

Model 1860 Style Cavalry Saber by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham.
This imported Cavalry officer's saber is a copy of a model 1860 Ames Cavalry saber and was retailed by Schuyler, Hartley & Graham in New York. Several original Ames letters exist complaining about importers copying their swords. This is one of those swords sold by a famed New York firm. These swords were of inferior quality and were cheaper than Ames swords. The curved steel blade has two partial fullers on each side and is etched with long panels on both sides. The right side features a liberty cap, a patriotic eagle, and crossed American flags, with the phrase "Stand By The Union." The left side is engraved the same but instead of the eagle there is an intertwined "U.S.". It is marked above the ricasso with etched "SCHUYLER/ HARTLEY &/ GRAHAM/ NEW-YORK" markings. The gilt brass hilt is in the style of the Model 1860 Cavalry saber but is of slightly more delicate proportions. The grip is covered with polished sharkskin and has twisted brass wire wrap. The sword is complete with its steel scabbard with twin hanging mount. CONDITION: Very good. Blade retains a spotted grey patina with some light wear to etching. Hilt retains 85-90% of its original gilt finish with some thinning. Grip is excellent. Scabbard has been cleaned and retains a mix of grey and spotted brown patinas with some minor denting. This is a scarce variant of the famous 1860 cavalry saber, which was one of the most prolific swords used during the civil war.

Lot of 2: German WWII Luftwaffe "RGG" NCO Tunic & Belt with Buckle.
Lot contains: (A) Prewar Luftwaffe NCO service tunic, and (B) Prewar Luftwaffe belt and buckle. (A) Luftwaffe Tuchrock to a NCO in one of the two Flak Battalions of the Regiment General Goering, in overall near mint condition. The Regiment General Goering was transferred from the police to the Luftwaffe in September of 1935, when General Goering was promoted to command the Luftwaffe. In 1936 the regiment was assigned to provide Flak protection for Hitler's headquarters. The wool tunic was issued and worn, and does not have any noticeable damage, other than some light wear to the ends of the cuffs. The collar has white piping applied by hand, NCO tress correctly machine sewn, and red piped white collar tabs also correctly machine sewn. It is unknown as to when the collar tab rank gulls have been added, as they seem to be placed oddly but may represent a junior NCO (Oberjaeger) who was promoted to Unteroffizer at some point. The wool on the white piped shoulder boards matches the tunic, but it is unknown whether the junior NCO shoulder boards have been replaced at some point, as the inside shoulder seams have been opened and resewn by hand. The early droop tail eagle is correctly era hand applied over the right upper pocket. A very nice hand embroidered NCO RGG cufftitle is present on the right sleeve, and is hand applied with threads visible on the inside the the sleeve. All eight of the tunic and pocket buttons have the same maker, and the two shoulder board buttons are smaller but matching, with one being detached but present. Two era applied badge loops are present on the left upper pocket. The tunic is ink marked on the left inside with size markers, and the marking of the famous Berlin firm of "Karl Heisler". The tunic also bears the stamping of "LBA35", which represents an issue date of 1935.
