Need some feedback on this SA helmet
Can anybody tell me about what kind of SA helmet (model) this is? I think it's real but the liner looks different than other German helmets? Thanks, keith

Very nice Soviet Union Admiral's black raincoat or lovercoat. There are some salt air stains which could be easily removed by a cleaning. The shoulder boards are stunning!
Das Eichenlaub zum Ritterkreuz Urkunde
Hello Everyone,
Started trying to catalogue my collection, get some order into ephemera items I have. Came across this Urkunde (didnt know it was there) read it and for obvious reasons, it electrified me.
It measures 15cm x 21cm and was awarded for: Oak leaf for a Knights Cross holder. I ran the name Fritz Biermeier through google it easily comes up with uniform picture, born and went to school in Augsburg in the Landkreis Schwaben where I live. He was with SS Panzer Rgt. 3 Totenkopf awarded the oak leaf posthumously 26th December 1944, - document issued 27th December 1944. The ink signature - Keitel - found another Keitel signature on internet its included with this posting not the same exactly but similar. Ran a UV light over the paper, it doesnt glow. Ive taken it to a retired printer friend of mine. He says paper is period, has no grain direction (apparently machine produced paper has a grain) he calls it handgeschafft. Print process used Buchdruck old lead type letters held together in a frame, he says E & C in Eichenlaub, both letters both slightly damaged at top, which gives small break in print at top of the letter. Read up a little on Knight Cross wears with oak leaf, there were 882. One thing Ive not been able to check out is the red stamp, has anyone any input on the stamp or anything I should look for?
Regards

Emmy Goering Locket
This locket came from the German estate of SS
Standartenfuhrer Hermann Barth, along with many
artifacts once belonging to Reichsmarschall Hermann
Göring and his wife Emmy. This ninety-year-old locket has on
the front the engraved initials EG and on the back the initials
LK, which were her former husband’s initials when she was
married to German film producer Ludwig Karl Köstlin.
Emma Johanna Henny “Emmy” Sonnemann-Göring was
born 24 March 1893, became an actress, and the second wife
of Hermann Göring. Emmy Göring was born in Hamburg,
Germany to a wealthy salesman and was an actress at the
National Theatre in Weimar. She became Emmy Köstlin
upon her marriage to actor Karl Köstlin in late 1916, but
they later divorced.
Hermann Barth was a close friend of the Reichsmarschall
and the Göring’s, as well as Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler.
Barth was responsible for the SS Education School in Berlin
during WWII.
I will have this artifact on display at my table at the upcoming MAX Show, as well as many other artifacts from my book.

Need help! SS Leibstandarte Album and World Atlas
Hi,
These came with a group of other assorted items. Has anyone seen the album or the atlas? The album seems to be a soldiers remembrance album. There's 15 assorted action prints in it. And what would the value be estimated at for both ?.... Thanks
