Bust of Adolf Hitler w/ Base

Adolf Hitler Bust w/ Base - made of bronzish metal + marble? 8" tall. Overall fair condition with some discolor mostly on left side of head. Inscription on back by shoulder - very lightly readable - think it says "HB" in a circle + full signature (lastname Kaufe??). Really hard to make out what it says or get a proper picture of the signature.

Pics below <item #110>

Any idea of value?

Nazi Germany Desk Eagle / Trophy w/ Swatstika

Nazi German Desk Eagle / Trophy w/ Swatstika - made of bronzish metal, 5" tall. No inscriptions at all. Base in good condition. Metal seems to be in poor condition with rusting. I suppose thats a good indicator of age, right?

Olympian Runner w/ Torch Statue from Nazi Germany Era(?)

This statue is 15" tall and made of some type of metal. There is an inscription with artist name on back of the base. "Alva S. Eyllanbekov 96".

Does the "96" part actually mean this is a reproduction made in 1996 or is it something else?

Any idea on value?

Aleksander Gabsztewicz, General Antoni Grudzinski, General Ludwik Kmicic-Skrzynski, General Bronislaw Noel.

There are also smaller displays for the following Generals:

General Zygmunt Piasecki, General Aleksander Praglowski, General Stefan Strzemienski, General Stanislaw Sosabowski.

The display on the staircase wall from the 2nd to the 3rd floor , includes British D.S.O.'s & D.F.C.'s to Horbaczewski and Janus plus numerious other British awards including O.B.E.'s, D.S.M.'s, D.S.C.'s and has you turn the corner the awards given to President August Zaleski.

The displays just take your breath away, they are amazing normally the staircase from the 2nd -3rd floor is out of bounds to the public but if you are allowed up stairs it is really beautiful full diplays of Uniforms, Legitymacja, when I was taken up stairs for the first time over 30 years ago my eyes were ouy on stalks to actually see all these items in one place.

Anyway I have gone on too much sorry for that.

Best wishes

Andrzejku

Following andrzejku’s post in the IIRP “Auction Items good or bad” thread, and ccj’s follow up question, this is a topic worthy of its own thread. So here we go . . .

I don’t know of any books on the museum and the items it houses, but one would think there should be one or more. It’s a place I have not yet visited, although hope to one day soon to spend as many hours as possible closely examining historic groupings from Poland’s military heroes. The place seems packed to the rafters with fascinating items, and here are pictures sent to me by friends who have visited there. They show but a small sampling of the treasures on display. Anyone with pictures from their visit(s) please feel free to post them.

Amongst the pictures below are the decorations belonging to General Anders.

Regards,
Tony

Luftwaffe Tropical Blue Web Belt and Buckle

Hi all,
here’s one nice and rare Luftwaffe tropical blue web belt. It comes with its original buckle with leather tab.
The buckle tab is named and has a Feldpost nummer but it’s impossible to make it out.
Anyway…hope you’ll enjoy it!
Cheers
Manny
