My wife just returned from visiting relatives in Ludwigshafen, Germany a few days ago and she brought back this mini stein that she told me she used to have with her dolls and she would play with this. She found this among other items in the attic of her Aunt’s house. Her mother and Aunt both grew up in Germany during the Second World War and there were several relatives who served in the military. (I will post some of the other information, photos and findings in the appropriate sections later).

I have not been able to find another stein like this one that I assume is from the 1930’s??? I have seen some mini steins made in the 70’s and I imagine they are still sold today as souvenirs.

I have also searched many sites and have only found larger steins, full liter, half liter, and similar steins. Nothing in the size of 2 inches in size.

I originally thought that this could have possibly been in a child’s Tea set or China set from the 1930’s or 1940’s given the size but I am not too sure.

My wife thought that folks may have used it for shots of schnapps…

My question to the more knowledgeable members out there…

Would this particular item have been purchased or given out at one of the Party Rallies in Nuremberg? I thought it was a very interesting item from her family history and I would like to try to provide some more information about it to her. Her Aunt could not recall where it may have come from, if it came from a family member or not and unfortunately my wife’s mother has dementia and whatever possible recollection of the item from her would have to be met with some suspicion.

Trying to gather as much information and research for my wife’s family history to pass on to our son..

Comments and feedback will be much appreciated..

Hi SS dagger collectors. For long time now I’m playing with the idea to make a thread regarding Fake SS daggers.
Goal of this topic is, to post and discuss all fake SS daggers that you come across on the net and of those that you know are for sale.

Meaning is that collectors and future collectors of SS daggers have a quick reference to these daggers as they pop up more and more…
So, if you find them, post them and give some explanation. I hope it will become an interesting and informating thread.

Thanks,

Kris

Looks good

Hi everyone, sorry if ive posted this in the incorrect area of the forum

Im looking for a little advise if i may?
A good friend of my family, has asked if i would sell a few bits for him which he has found in his loft from his time as a mechanic in the RAF.

Most bits are mainly fairly straight forward to sell, however im struggling with the following, and believe it to be a fairly "rare" Air Publication:

AP No. 1374 Handbook: Aero Engine Magnetos - 1936.

I have found very little relating to it online, and cant find one that is either for sale (or has sold) to get a idea of value.
I hate to be one of those "whats it worth" posts, but im struggling and could do with a pointer if at all possible.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.
kind regards
Ed

Description: Carmine pipied for General Staff or vet. This cap is made by Hans Klementz out of East Prussia as marked in the celluloid. Cap has a gepruft stamp on the underside of the leather sweatband so is either a wartime upgrade or more likely a collector upgrade.
Pm me if you need more info/pictures. Thanks for looking.
