DESCRIPTION: This is a real rarity and a treasure of a N.S. cultural item. To the National Socialists of the Third Reich nothing meant more than family and children. In essence, this was what it was all about -- the pride that German folk had in nurturing health, and Aryan perfection was the number one factor in art, music, and general culture -- it was of tantamount importance. (Raising supermen? Why not? Is not the striving for perfection a human desire? Wasn’t it practiced by the ancient Egyptians, the Spartans, the African Masai, and the Sioux Indians of the Plains, the Jews?) The idea is only degraded in liberal circles when it comes to Germans. Why? Well, we won’t go there at this point in time. Suffice it to say that liberalism has brought us the late unlamented Michael Jackson -- that is unlamented by those who do not admire child molesters and freaks of nature. “Tiny Tim” ... remember him? Here was a fine product of the new World Order. Stop! Don’t get me going!

Now back to the cradle. This is not the complete cradle; it is only the important piece -- the foot of the child’s bed. This part was ordered to be made by a local village carpenter who was also a fairly good wood carver. The deep meaning is there for all to see. It was decorated with the theme of the National Socialist mythos and it was hoped that the symbolism might make a mystic and powerful totem that would transcend the usual mundane humanism and give glory to Nordic heritage and Aryan beginnings. This cradle board was produced in 1941. So the child, if still alive, would today be 68 years old.  Lets hope he made it through al the bombing of the German cities and the massacre of German men, women and children in 1945 when the “gentle” Russian Allies began their devil dance of murder and mayhem throughout Europa. The theme of the decoration is the sprout of the young oak tree growing and being nurtured to the future when it would be a giant sturdy oak. The oak tree was sacred to the ancient Teutons and to the NS culture as well as the symbol of strength and nature’s beauty. The Hackenkreutz (Swastika) behind it symbolizes the spirit of the N.S. mythos that is tightly tied to the oak in meaning and presence. The message is quite clear that these parents were loyal Party members and wished that their child would also be imbibed with the spirit of the Party and loyalty to his Germany in his/her life.  This is true NS culture. We speak from a historian’s viewpoint. This NS item is full of deeper meaning than any pair of Wehrmacht jackboots or an SA dagger. Unlike these rather usual and mundane objects or collectibles; this piece talks to us -- it is possibly the only remnant of the life of a Bewegungskinder “a child of the movement.”  The piece measures about 32" wide and about 35" high for the educated collector of important NS cultural items, this is an incredible find.

PRICE: $1,450.00 Best bargain on the entire site if you recognize the extreme historical and cultural importance.

Miniature Painting on Ivory and Framed in Ivory of Fredrick II (the Great)
Painted 1934 -1938? (Item FRED 4-3 & ART 16-4)

DESCRIPTION: Here is another wonderful portrait of “Der Alte Fritz” Soldier King of Prussia, born Jan 24, 1712, died in 1786. He is, and is regarded as, one of Germany’s greatest leaders. Where is he now that we need him in the land of Angela Merkel? He literally was the Father of the German Military. There were great Germanic heroes before him such as Hermann the Liberator, etc. but Fredrick was the first to organize what was the greatest regulated army in all of Europe. He was the "Absolute King." He really was the prime mover behind German Independence although Bismarck fought a war to finally gain it. He had a huge impact on his nation, he looms forth even today as a unique historical character. There is much about his life and fantastic accomplishments on the internet so we will not delve into a biography here. What did Fredrick leave behind him? He was the king who towers above all other European rulers, who focused on organized militarism for the first time in German history. It was he who started the proud military tradition that died in 1945 due to the acts of traitors in Germany's high command positions. Not because of the lack of greatness of the German Wehrmacht. They continued over the centuries to be the “best.” Without knowing it, he inspired many national leaders such as George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt, Bismarck and, of course, Adolf Hitler who idolized him. Napoleon said to his Marshals upon viewing the statue of Fredrick in conquered Berlin, “Gentlemen, if he were here today we would not be!”  Hitler and Napoleon each had a picture of him in their respective livingrooms. The picture that we offer here is hand painted, possibly the best portrait we have ever seen of the great King in miniature. Probably accomplished in the 1930’s. He is portrayed in all his regal glory with his famous cane held before him. He wears the eagle order of Prussia and the three corner hat made famous by him. The portrait is framed in ivory with a brass bezel around it.  The frame measures 5" x 6" and is made from ivory piano key material all neatly pieced together to make for a beautiful portrait arrangement.  This is a true museum piece extraordinaire!

(Entwurf) Original Drawing by the Artist
of a Fantastic Presentation to the Fuhrer (ART 16-5 & SA13-6 & AH 25-7)

DESCRIPTION: This is for the true Germanophile. It is the original design hand rendered by the artist Herr Professor Ernst Rump. The statue that the drawing depicts is of a proposed sculpture of the hero Roland of Bremen that was about 60 cm in height and was crafted in silver. It was absolutely  unique; no other was ever done. It was presented to Adolf Hitler on the occasion of his 50th.birthday. It was commissioned to be created by Ernst Rump, a quite famous gold and silversmith, by the Bremen Government and the dean of the north German art school. Rump created it in four months of intensive artistry. The Roland figure stood in the middle of a silver bowl with four legs and in front of the bowl you can see an eagle. The plinth bears the shield with the Bremen Wahlspruch. Several copied documents and news releases accompany the picture -- in one of them it is announced that “The largest city of Gau Wessser Ems wishes to please our Fuhrer with this magnificent creation, along with this we present to our leader a tea table with ceramic inlay from the SA Gruppe (Nordsee”). These ceramics depict clouds and waves with a Viking ship. The red-sand light house, a ship that is a 5 master sailing ship. And the first German steamer “Wesser”plus the western tower of the island of Wangerooge, the modern trawler “Luneberg” and the fast steamer “Bremen” in the center is a compass rosette. In another clipping it reads “New from Bremen April 21, 1939 concerning the presents from Bremen and the SA Sturm (Nordsee) masterpieces of art work made by hand. These presented yesterday were an expression of love and honor from the German people to the creator of the Greater German Reich” and thus are the presents that ended up on the presentation table for our Fuhrer. Great consideration was given to the idea and final selection of these particular presents to represent the relationship that Gau Wesser area had to North Sea area. The center piece is of course the model of Roland the Giant and other impressive items to show Bremen's connection to the North Sea. The creator of the present from the Hanse City Bremen is the silver table decoration produced by the leader of the North German Goldsmiths Guild, Ernst Rump. This piece consists of a bowl with a figure of Roland in the center and has the inscription: To our Fuhrer from the Free Hanse City of Bremen on April 20, 1939 this is “Buten und Binnen-Wagon und Winnen! This is Bremen dialect...it means – On seas and on land, on wagons, and ships!  The bowl has a diameter of 52 cm. Several of the pieces are clad in gold to make it even more admirable. The framed “Entwurf” is huge, really huge 33 ½" x 26" and the frame is about 1 ½" thick all around. It is beautifully framed in a gold leaf frame. The glass is non-glare and it is backed with museum grade backing (using preservation methodology).

Something about Roland: According to legend, Bremen will remain free and independent as long as the Roland statue stands watching the city.  Roland was Charlemaignes Knight Errant. He was erected in 1404.  He bears the sword Durendart (Justice)” and a shield decorated with the two headed Imperial Eagle. The statue is 5.47 mm tall and stands on a 60 cm rostrum. This brings the combined height to 16.21 m.  Roland is the symbol of civil liberty and freedom. It is a great symbol and it can be understood clearly why the city and Ernst Rump chose this subject for the sculpture in silver to be presented to the Fuhrer. Ernst Rump was a celebrated artist in his time and even worked with the Deutsches Ahnenerbe on several projects. We are very proud to offer this original drawing from this talented artist of the 3rd Reich Remember: it is unique, one of a kind and should be in a museum or in a first class collection.

Magnificent Bronze Bust of an LAH Stormtrooper (Item SS 35-5 & ART 16-6)

DESCRIPTION: This bust was recently sent to us by our German picker in Nuremberg. If you go to our site placement on page 2 of the Nuremberg Parteitag items Partei 2-10 you will see the bronze Nuremberg eagles by artist Schmidt Ehmen. In that narrative, we outline the history of how these pieces were discovered in the community of Gleiwitz at the former bronze foundry known as the Preussische Bergwerks V. Hutten. This town was known for the production of the finest of bronze works of art since 1813. Please read this narrative. You will find it most interesting and factually presented. This bronze bust was procured in the same manner. Please also direct your attention to the reference to the granite bases and their later application to the bronze sculpture and how our agent had to arrange to have them mounted. The figure has all of its original bronze patina and the condition is about mint. It captures all the spirit of the Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. The pride and past glories of this "Elite of the Elite." Did I say that? Yes, I did as a matter of fact!  The sculpture depicts a handsome, young trooper of this famed standarte with his kepi, brown shirt, cross strap and collar tabs. There might be a minimum of artistic license in the collar tab definition but it probably was emphasized to bring it out in dramatic effect and fashion. All in all, the artist has captured that moment in time that resounds with us even today. There might be some exaggeration expressed if I call it “Monumental” but you see it impresses me more than any other artistic treasure that we have ever offered in the past.  This is the first so dramatic looking sculpture that we have ever seen offered with the Allgemeine as the subject. To realize that and narrow it down to the LAH is incredible. If you are the one so fortunate to acquire this magnificent piece, then consider yourself fortunate indeed. It certainly would be a major item to complement a good NS or collection. It is 100% original, brought back from the “dust bins of history” to the serious collectors of today. We will not go into the history of the Leibstandarte as you can get that on line at Google or other search engines but of course, you will have to read between the lines for any semblance of truth or objectivity.  “Wer einmal lügt dem glaubt man nicht und wenn er ruch die wahrheit spricht!”  “He who lied once will never be believed again, even if he later tells the truth!”  So, you be the judge when you go to these sites remembering that it is the victors that get to write their own history. And, unfortunately, they write the history as they wish to depict it of the vanquished! So it was for instance when the history of the American Civil War was written by the Yankees. Back to the sculpture, it depicts an Unterscharfuhrer identified by the rank shown on the collar tab with one pip. The opposite tab has the -(1) depicted. The numeral 1 is the historical designation granted to the first unit of the to be graduated to a fully accredited and named unit. They went from Stabswache Berlin to “-Sonderkommando “Zossen” then the “ Sonderkommando Jüterbog” and finally Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler (LAH) in 1933, but they were always designated No. 1 “in more ways than one.” Later, when they became a motorized division in the Waffen , they were the No. 1 Panzer Division. It is well known that they were the elite of Germany’s armed forces. But this bust depicts this LAH trooper in the pre-WWII outfit. The time of struggle (Der Kampfzeit), this was back in the days when these tough fighters mopped up the streets with Sparticist Reds and other Communist thugs. When the situation loomed hopeless for the brown battalions of the SA then “Who are you going to call?”-- that is, when the “Black Guard” stepped in and made short work of the Reds and other enemies of the Reich. The bronze measures about 10" high with the granite base being an inch and ¼ deep.  The base measures 7" x 5".  It is heavy -- 13.62 pounds (all bronze). So we are prodigiously proud to offer this marvelous piece of 3rd Reich sculpture to the collecting public. The bust does not have a hand signature as such, but it has an intricate logo inset in the middle of the shirt's back that looks to be an SW set in a shield with 3 smaller shields surrounding the letters. The eagle and skull on the cap are correct for the pre-1934 uniform kepi. We believe that if it’s not the ultimate LAH piece ever located, it certainly borders on it. Superb! 100 times more rare than a Hitler bust.

PRICE: $2,985.00 Expensive? No, it is an absolute bargain personified! The absolute best of the best!

‘Iron’ the very word ‘Eisen’ in German invokes deep significance in the German psyche. Iron Cross, Iron Chancellor, Iron Time, songs, and poems are brought to mind at the mention of the word. More than in any other nation Iron was revered and considered sacred in the sagas of the Teutonic peoples, and the artistic pursuits while working with this sacred metal, in jewelry, sculpture, architectural offerings were almost exclusively ‘Germanic’.  A great patriotic song is heard wherever True Teutons would gather ‘Der Gott Der Eisen Wachsen Liess. (The God who let Iron grow!) And it goes on to say that this God will tolerate no slaves. This song by Ernst Moritz Arndt personifies the patriotic fervor incited by even the thought of Iron. So with this said perhaps we can get a grasp on the importance of this manifestation of the iron craft. The piece is doubly significant in that it is not only a great artistic achievement but it also depicts the national symbol embodied in the earliest form of the N.S eagle. This was the eagle of the ‘Kampfzeit’ the turbulent time of the struggle for power by the NSDAP. We believe it was meant in this form to commemorate that early time but also to be a reminder of the fallen of the movement to Red Front and Reaction to quote the main stanza from the “Horst Wessel anthem” DieFahne Hoch (Raise the Banner). The eagle is fashioned from various separate pieces of strip iron all welded together in the finished master work. The two artists who produced it were surely quite noted in this style of iron work. They belonged to the N.S. group known as the German handworkers organization Deutscher Handwerkers Verein (DHV). This was a very important functionary organization that was a great and respected branch of the National Socialist program of cultural achievement and education. The group was a section of the parent organization known as the DAF, Deutsches Arbeits Front headed by Dr, Robert Ley who said in a early speech and we quote “ The duty of the labor service Arbeitsdienst would inculcate in the German people the realization that manual work was anything but disgraceful, in fact labor actually ennobles our people so the NS government did everything to encourage the propagation of skilled workers and especially gifted artists who produced hand wrought artistic items and such items that glorified the mission and agenda of the Third Reich were especially valued! In our attached images is a rare picture of the main office of the DHV and pictures of the NS officials that headed this organization. The two artists who produced this Iron national eagle were certainly such skilled artisans ‘The tip of the eagles wing at the back is signed K. Hufnagel and in the wreath it is signed Bergmann. The eagle is huge!  Measuring 47 inches from wing tip to wing tip the measurement from the top of the eagles head to the bottom of the scroll that is part of the wreath is 23 inches the work that was all done by hand is really astounding, every one of the chest and wing feathers are detailed to the full extent. The wreath is wonderfully incredible with every single oak leaf worked, affixed and engraved by these artists.

We hope with our pictures that we are able to help you to perceive the absolute artistic genius that went into this effort. The acorns are completely realistic with some closed and others with their tops open just as they would be in nature. The swastika is cut from one thick sheet of metal and is bold and ultimately dramatic.  The eagles claws are lethal looking and beautifully depicted. This artistic achievement is probably the most important piece historically and the most beautiful we have ever acquired or even seen. Sometime after we bought this eagle from a German art dealer, he was good enough to send us later a very important addition that he said was originally included with the piece when he purchased it. This is extremely important and it is a little brass or bronze medallion with a tie string that goes though it (“actually through it”) and was fastened to the back of the eagle on a support bar

Although not as beautiful as the sculpture it is nearly as important. We have only seen two or 3 of these over the years. It is a brass tag that identifies the item as actually being from the ‘Haus Der Deutschen Kunst’ and exhibited there. It depicts the actual logo or approved design that is the symbol of the museum and the program.  It has the portrait of Athena the Greek Goddess of war and was chosen as the official logo of the museum and the program because she personifies the strong, clean vibrant art of the Third Reich. Below her is the National eagle and besides this the torch of academic enlightenment.  Around the eagles are the words ‘Ausgestellt Im Haus Der Deutschen Kunst 1941 (Exhibited at the House of German Art 1941). This piece is double sided in fact it was struck obviously from dies and pieced together back to back. And made to encase the black, white, red cord that traverses through it.  All items that were stored for past or future display were labled thusly but it is so rare to actually find one today. So, there you have it. What more can we say? Except that here is the absolute epitome of N.S. art and priced very reasonably for what it is.  

PRICE: $13,500.00 An incredibly reasonable price.
