Cased Blue Max |
||
| DESCRIPTION:Here is a very nice copy of the famed Blue Max, or Pour Le Mérite enameled on both sides and in a form-fitted, velvet-lined case with the outline of the medal on the top of the case. The case is in fine leatherette; just the thing to wear when you attend the commemoration of the victories of the Red Baron ceremony at the Neue Palis in Berlin. The ribbon lies in a separate, divided section of the case.
PRICE: $125.00; as nice as they get |
The following medals are just one of a kind. They are not made any longer; at least not in near this wonderful quality. These pieces were made by jewelers in Austria back in the mid 1960s. The quality is superb! We can’t say enough about it. I have been told that they were made by the same manufacturer which made them during the Third Reich. I can believe it! I emphasize that I only have one of each of these. When gone I’m sure they are gone for good. You will not find them elsewhere. |

The Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle in Gold; without Swords (for civilians), with Sash and Breast Star |
||||||||||
| DESCRIPTION: This, the grandest of all Third Reich awards, was instituted by Adolf Hitler on his birthday, May 1, 1937. The first recipient was Italian foreign minister Count Galeazzo Ciano. This was reserved for very important honored foreign supporters and allies of the NS regime. Only eight were ever presented. The other recipients are Franco of Spain, Admiral Horthy of Hungary, King Boris of Bulgaria, President Risto Ryti of Finland, Romanian Marshal Ion Antonescu, Japanese Ambassador Hiroshi Oshima, and Fieldmarshal Freiherr Carl Gustaf Mannerheim of Finland. I have promised to offer only the finest in re-created items of historical interest and in keeping with that promise I am proud to offer this strikingly beautiful garniture.

The 1943 Grand Cross of the Order of the German Eagle; without Swords (for civilians); this is a breast star separately |
|||
| DESCRIPTION: Here is a spectacular re-creation of this, one of the most important awards of the Third Reich usually reserved for honoring foreign dignitaries. Many Spanish and Italian supporters were awarded this very prestigious medal. The workmanship on this piece makes it hard to distinguish from the original; extremely fine!
PRICE: $950.00; not $6,000.00 |

The Breast Star of the German National Prize for Art and Science |
|||||
| DESCRIPTION: This is considered the rarest of NS-era awards and certainly the most coveted of the national awards. Hitler personally instituted the award 30 January 1937. He intended it to replace the Nobel Peace Prize, since he had forbidden German citizens to accept the international award 1 month earlier. The award also carried with it a cash sum of 100,000 Reichs Marks. It was thickly encrusted with diamonds approximating 1/4 carat each and much prettier than the Nobel Prize. The legend around the inner circle reads translated: “For art and science.” Around the outer edge of the inscription is a bezel containing 40 diamonds. This great re-creation naturally does not have genuine diamonds. They are probably zircons or brilliants. The head of the goddess Athena is shown in the center on a red enamel field. This is certainly one of the most beautiful civil awards the world has seen. Again, I know no place in the world where one could obtain something like this. These were the property of a now-deceased collector who, knew he would never have the chance to obtain the real thing concerning these very special awards. He was quite satisfied with these wonderful copies. I am happy to offer them and proud to include them in my section of the web site.
PRICE: $1,200.00; not $75,000.00 |
