		1.Prussian enlisted pickelhaube. Has some wear/tear and missing a couple pieces, but you can't beat the price. Makes a great display piece. Size 54 marked on the inside and also has the maker stamped in the rear skirt and the unit and 1915 date. sold
	2.WW1 Imperial German named Iron Cross 1st class. I obtained this from the family of the veteran who brought it back. It was pinned to the pennant as shown in the photo. It's an ww1 era manufactured 1914 EK1 with a nice distinct design. There is one crack in the Iron core, going through the "W", as seen in the photos. The reverse had the recipient's name and a pair of hooks jeweler added at the same time. The name on the back "Maltitz" is listed in the 1913 German army rank list as "Major Maltitz". I will get more information for the buyer from the same reference. Nice, unique, named and untouched EK1, right from the vet's family, never in a collection. Choice! SOLD
		3.Imperial German Hussar mounted portrait rendered in watercolor (I think). Mounted officer in a light blue attila, possibley a member of the Huraren Regt. Kaiser Franz Josef, Nr. 16 (Schleswig) and wearing visor cap. This is a pre WW1 piece. Superb lifelike artistic quality. He is right outside the stable, which can be seen behind him. Mounted on the original cardboard matt, but this could be easily replaced. Measures 21" wide x 17" tall. Very scarce Husar artwork, dating from the turn of the century or earlier. Would look great with an Imperial or pickelhaube collection as a display. sold
	4.Imperial German WW1 army "issue" type cavalry boots. These are the style worn by all types of mounted units. This bautiful pair looks to have never been worn and is approx. a US size 10 to 10 1/2. These may also have been worn by foot units that wore this type of boot, as I don't see any evidence of the spur rest at the back of the heel. Pair is overall excellent condition, with some light age cracking only on the very surface of the leather, mostly at the back of the boots. Inside the boots are dated 1916. Fabulous pair. $499 SALE $400
		5.Imperial veterans groups medals. (left to right) 15% OFF A.Mecklenberg Krieger-verband (maker/address on reverse) $55 B.Deutscher Kreigerbund $45 C.Prussian Landes-Kriegerverband (maker marked and Ges.Gesch.) 25 year medal $135 D.Deutscher Kriegerbund (maker marked) $125 E.Kriegerkamradschaft Hassia (maker marked) $55 F.Deutscher Schvl Verein 1880 SOLD
	6.Imperial German Husar officer portrait rendered in watercolor (I think). I think this may be the same officer as the mounted one (Number 1, above). Light blue attila, black breeches, cavalry boots, saber and Pelzmütze on the table next to him. Very realistic style of artwork. Measures 21" high x 17" wide. Matt is worn and can easily be replaced. Superb Pre-WW1 Imperial officer portrait. Scarce. sold
		7.Imperial staff officer shoulder board singles. These came back with a GI in WW2 along with ww2 era insignia. I think the "V"s denote staff office, probably the white one is for infantry, not sure of the blue one. Either, way, some rare boards, $75 each.
	8.German Imperial era naval officer cadet/Officer career insignia in gold bullion. These are for the cuff of the uniform and denote s engineering. There is one cuff badge and 2 smaller uncut badges on the original cloth. Nice examples and scarce. $35

	9.Imperial German spiked helmet ink well! Very neat desk accessory from WW1 or earlier. Helm itself is either a chromed metal or nickel, hard to tell. Has brass pieces. including removable top spike, crest, sword and buckles. The chinstrap is oilcloth. There are no marklings I can find. Under the spike is a small glass or or celluloid ink cup, that is removable. Has light wear from age, but is overall excellent+ or better. Measures 2 1/2" high and 3" front to back. Really neat display item. SOLD
		10.Imperial German WW1 Naval Marine officer's fore and aft hat. Uncommon cap that was used for dress and ceremonial occasions, usually worn with the frock coat. Made of a black beaverskin with a ribbon around the outside. Front and back have gold braid. Left side has gold bullion braiding and a ribbon in the German colors, along with a large Imperial Navy gold button with the Kaiser's crown over an anchor. Interior satin lining and sweatband are missing. Overall has some wear from use and age, but overall very good. Scarce.SOLD
	11.German WW1 Imperial army enlisted/nco belt & buckle. Nice brass belt buckle with nickle? crown roundel. Leather belt exhibits wear, but hey, it's going on 100 years old soon. Total length is about 33". Nice example. SOLD
		12.Imperial German Prussian enlisted "Kratzen" field cap. Overall good condition with both Reichs and Prussian cockades intact. Cap is made from fieldgray wool with red wool band and piping. Interior is standard cotton lining material. The soldier sewed 2 buttons inside it. (not sure for what) Cap is overall very good, just some small moth nips and normal nap wear. Size is about a 55. Decent example. SOLD
