Across the bottom front in white letters "Halma * Dame * Muhle * Raus * Schach", and extremely small numbers in the front lower corner "1148".

There is a helmeted WWII German solider on it and you can clearly see a very detailed Army decal on the side of it, there are also some oak leaves on it. The silver finish on it is in good condition and it has kind of an aluminum look to it. I have looked for manufacture marks but was unable to locate any, this piece was made to mount to a plaque and its condition is very nice.......$145 Photos NEW ITEM M-127 ITALIAN FASCIST (YOUTH?) TINNIE - Pretty nice tinnie that has a red/white/green kokarden with an eagle headed handled dagger horizontally across it, below the kokarden on a scroll it says GIOVENTU del LITTORIO". At the edge of the front upper 12:00-01:00 position there is a small piece that has broken off and on the reverse at the top it is deteriorating a little bit, other than that it is in good condition. The reverse has a good pin/catch assembly and is maker marked "ZELINDA GAGGI" above the pin and "VIA-XX-SETTEMBRE 115, ROMA" below it. In large lettering on the blade of the dagger it says "VINCRE", the handle of the dagger looks like it is a brownish/reddish color. From what I can come up with researching this one it may have been for a youth organization of some sort, I think it says something like "To win gioventu of the Fascist one"..................$55 Photos NEW ITEM M-128 1768 RUSSIAN COIN - This coin is made of copper and weighs 2 ounces, it measures around 1 5/8" across and around 1/8" thick.

I am really not sure if it was ever finished or if this is the way it is suppose to be. Has a early drooped tailed Luftwaffe eagle, it is done in reverse so it was intended to be used in some sort of a printing process as once it was inked and printed the swastika and eagle would be facing the correct way. Any information on this one would be greatly appreciated..........$165 Photos NEW ITEM M-130 DR. ANTON von WEHNER MEDALLION - This metal medallion measures around 2 7/8" across and 1/8" thick, the finish on it is in very good condition. One side has "DR ANTON VON WEHNER" in very large raised lettering and below that towards the bottom is a small "D" with a long line going from it. The other side has an old style boat with a single sail, has six shields on it which are numbered from 1 to 6 on the front of them, the first one has what looks like "REF" over the number "1" and there is also a period after the number "1", none of the other's have that. There are long oars sticking out of the side like they are in use. There is a figure on the back steering with the rudder handle, there are many arrows in the sky shooting from right to left, at the bottom front there is a very small key which looks like it is under the water. Across the front it says "INIQVITATE TEMPEZTATV NVNQV SVBMERSA". I have gone though all the language translators that I could find and can not find one that will translate it......$175 Photos I have received an email with the following information on this item: "I noticed on your website the medal of Dr. Anton von Wehner. I am an historian and a lover of Latin and iconography and thus was intrigued by it and found some details on this man. He lived from 1850 to 1915 and at the end of his life was the Bavarian minister of church affairs and education. The text on this medal is in Latin but the spelling seems not to be common classical Latin. That may explain why a web-translator didn't help you out on that matter...this text and it's context seems medieval to me rather than roman as the depicted ship looks more medieval rather than roman or Viking. Maybe the text is a quote but I couldn't find any source for it. The text on the medal says:Iniquitate tempestatu nunqu submersa, The reversed S in tempestatu is not uncommon in post classical Latin inscriptions, nor the N in stead of M in Numquam or the abbreviation of the word endings. So the "corrected" text would read:"iniquitate tempestatum nunquam submersa (est)" meaning: "she (the ship of state, the church?) has never been submerged in the turbulence of the weathers (or: "times") The female is implied because of the ending on -A of submersa. However, submersa can also be used here as a plural of a neuter participle: niquitate tempestatu(m) numqu(am) submersa (sunt), and then the translation is: "things have never been submerged in turbulent weathers/times (it is common in Latin to leave out declensions like est and sunt of the verb "esse" (" to be") in mottoes in order to be concise.) Anyway, this all gives an idea in which direction the translation should go. This text could be a personal motto of von Wehner, or may be an ex libris stamp or referring to some part of his carrier or personal life. i don't know. That information would be the key for a more detailed translation of it. I cannot explain the numbers on the shields but they could refer to school grades in the German education system, as von Wehner reformed certain parts of the Bavarian/German educational system. F-168 MONOCLE LENS LEATHER COVER - This is a small brown leather cover that has the manufactures information embossed on one side. Some of the stitching has come loose on one side of it. There is no eye piece with it......$5 Photo F-401 CIGARETTE CASE WITH LIGHTER SWASTIKA MARKED - I believe that this case with lighter appears to be made of stainless steel. Has a top portion that has the lighter, one side of it has a swastika engraved on it with a little swirl line on each side of it. Push the lighter to the side and the cigarette case opens up, both sides still retain the elastic bands for holding the cigarettes in. I do not see any manufacture marking son it, over condition is very good and the striker snaps open strongly.......$115 Photos (2) F-327 LIGHTERS - This brass lighter is in very good condition but it does have a small piece of metal jammed under the striker so the striker does not turn, other that that it is in great condition. From what I was told it was picked up on the battlefield in WWII. The second lighter is made of a tin material. On the very top of one of the ends it sis stamped "Japan", looks like only part of it took, probably should read "made in Japan". This lighter looks to be pretty old and well used, measures 2 5/8" long. I have listed these two together because they came in the same batch of stuff from a Veterans family...........$35 Photos F-329 OLD SMALL POCKET WATCH WITH CASE - This pocket watch measures around 1 ¼” across and has a good class lens, the face on it is in very good condition with Roman Numerals, both hour and minute hands are present.

Tried to get the back to open but I could not get it to open. Has a small shied on the reverse. Comes with a small case with a clear lens cover, this case appears to be made of steel as it is rusting a bit. There is some cloth material around the lens interior edge, the inside back has a cloth material in it......$35 Photos F-330 OLD POCKET WATCH COVER - This is a cover for a pocket watch and it has a discolored plastic lens on it. Hinge works good, there are the remains of some cloth material along the inner edge around the plastic lens. On the interior of the rear there appears to be a padding of hair of some sort. The rear has a little denting to it and has some green spotting, probably would clean up nicely. It measures around 2 1/8" across......$15 Photos F-385 DESK CLOCK - This one is in a wooden box which has a large N.S.D.A.P. eagle stenciled on its lid.

This watch works and has the ring at the top for hanging. The reverse of this watch has an early stylized eagle with swastika, above the eagle it says "Kr.", on one side of the swastika is "M" and on the other side of it is "A". I am guessing here by saying that I think it may be for use by a Kriegsmarine Artillery Battery. Overall condition is good......$1,350 Photos F-421 POCKET WATCH “WALTHAM” – This pocket watch measures around 2 ¼” across and is quite heavy.

There is a small nick on the front about where the “11” is, glass face is in super condition with no cracks or chips. The glass face is a bit raised up from the watch body. The reverse has some very small slight scratches in the very center, looks like it may have had a price sticker that someone may have removed with a sponge scratch pad.

Has the Nazi battle flag at the top, below that it says "Standort - Segel - Wettfahrten, Ehrenpreis". Below all of that is an Army eagle, this is a die struck piece. Must have had a price tag on the front of it at one time as there is a little bit of what looks like glue on it.

Has the minute and second hands, have turned the winder but nothing happens except for a clicking sound, looks like it needs some repair work. There is a small nick on the front about where the “11” is, glass face is in super condition with no cracks or chips. The glass face is a bit raised up from the watch body. The reverse has some very small slight scratches in the very center, looks like it may have had a price sticker that someone may have removed with a sponge scratch pad.

The course is based on the principle that if you want to learn to understand a language, you must hear it spoken, and if you want to learn to use it yourself, you must practice speaking it. The students for whom this book is written will often have no teacher available. Accordingly, the course has been made as nearly self teaching ass possible. This Manual covers the course completely; you will need no other reference material." It is in good condition........$40 Photos
