and Other Collectibles
Various Original Nazi pre-May 1945 Relics 1017-2. Various Original Nazi pre-May 1945 Relics. Small grouping of three items including a nice Nazi black wound badge, a ribbon section for a Nazi Police medal, and a Panzer skull insignia...$60 set. Rare Vintage 1920's KKK Impression Seal Die 1020-2. Original Rare Vintage 1920's Impression Seal Die for the KKK (North Star Chapter No. 2 of Minneapolis, MN). We don't normally handle KKK items, but this old original bronze impression die surfaced at a local militaria show and is being offered for its HISTORICAL value as a relic of the 1920's and early 1930's in Minnesota. This heavy bronze circular die features the incuse design of the KKK symbol with the surrounding inscription "INVISIBLE EMPIRE KNIGHTS OF THE KU KLUX KLAN" and "NORTH STAR KLAN NO. 2". The die also bears the stamped maker's marking "MINNEAPOLIS STAMP & STENCIL CO.", a firm that is listed in the 1898 edition of the Minneapolis, MN City Directory. The KKK North Star Chapter No. 2 had an interesting history in Minnesota that involved the 1923 Minneapolis mayoral election with the KKK Exalted Cyclops running for mayor of Minneapolis, and a famous court case that resulted from election campaigning. This die was probably used on the official documents of the KKK Klan No. 2 which met in the 1920's above the Public Drug Company on Seventh Street in downtown Minneapolis. The die has some light edge dings and two small circular surface indentations (see photos above)...$150. Earlier Nazi Social Welfare Medal 1014-2. Original Earlier Nazi Social Welfare Medal without Ribbon or Ribbon Ring. Very nice earlier example of this attractive medal constructed of silver-finished bronze metal rather than zinc metal. Much of the silver finish has thinned, with some honest wear to the high points. This earlier version is desired by many collectors...$40. WWII Italian Fascist Combat Helmet with C590-2. Original WWII Italian Fascist Combat Helmet with Liner and Partial Chinstrap. This is a very nice example of this classic combat helmet with an undented steel helmet shell retaining almost all of its original olive drab combat paint finish. The original leather liner is present and still supple, but shows some age with an edge chip spot on the liner leather and a few small splits on the leather "fingers". This helmet comes with a partial original chinstrap...$150.
