**SOLD**17/10**WWII Nazi Period 1st Class Iron Cross with Rare Original Presentation Box. 22184:3. - 22184:3
The 1st Class of the Iron Cross was presented more scarcely, and logically held a correspondingly higher level of stature than the second class. In order to receive the Iron Cross 1st Class Heer and Waffen SS men would have to perform three to four further acts of courage from the one that earned him the 2nd Class. The Iron Cross was a military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire (1871–1918) and Nazi Germany (1933–1945). The criteria for the award as previously mentioned were: To have distinguished oneself three or more times than required for the second-class award. The badge was awarded with a citation which can again be described in two types, plain capitals and Gothic lettering. This example comes with its original box, which is a rare find. See pages 50-51 of Combat Medals of the Third Reich by Christopher Ailsby for reference. The price includes UK delivery. 22184:3.

**SOLD**17/10**WWII Nazi ‘Gold Class’ Close Combat Bar. 22184:6. - 22184:6
The Close Combat Clasp (Nahkampfspange) was a World War II German military award designed by Ernst Wilhelm Peekhaus and instituted on 25 November 1942 for participation in hand-to-hand fighting at close quarters. Intended primarily for infantry, other Wehrmacht, Waffen-SS, ground Luftwaffe units and paratroopers were also eligible. The award was bestowed in three classes: Bronze for 15 days of close combat actions; Silver for 30 days of close combat actions; Gold for 50 days of close combat actions. Combat actions were counted from 1 December 1942, with earlier long service on the Eastern Front counting towards the award, with 15 continuous months counting as 15 combat days; 12 months as 10 days; and 8 months as 5 days. The clasp was worn above the upper left uniform pocket, above any medal ribbon bar. Only one badge, the highest level received, was worn. It was die-cast and made of either tombac or later zinc. The design of all three classes was the same, with a centrepiece consisting of the eagle and swastika national emblem surmounting a crossed bayonet and hand grenade with, each side, a spray of oakleaves, interspersed with a sunburst ray effect. The clasp is slightly curved and measures 9.7 cm by 2.6 cm. Nazi-era awards were initially banned by the post-war Federal Republic of Germany. In 1957 many World War II military decorations, including the Close Combat Clasp were re-designed to remove the eagle and swastika, and then re-authorised for wear by qualifying veterans. The badge would have been accompanied by an award certificate. This example is in excellent condition, with the pin and clasp fully intact. To the lefthand side, in three lines are the words Fec W E Peekhaus Berlin, and to the right AUSF. A.G.M.U.K. GABLONZ.

*Original* Pre WWII Nazi Deutsches Jungvolk ‘Young People’ Ges Gesch’ Maker Marked Belt Buckle. 22184:7. - 22184:7
The Deutsches Jungvolk DJV "German Youngsters in the Hitler Youth" or "German Young People") was the separate section for boys aged 10 to 13 of the Hitler Youth organisation in Nazi Germany. Through a programme of outdoor activities, parades and sports, it aimed to indoctrinate its young members in the tenets of Nazi ideology. Membership became fully compulsory for eligible boys in 1939. By the end of World War II, some had become child soldiers. After the end of the war in 1945, both the Deutsches Jungvolk and its parent organization, the Hitler Youth, ceased to exist. The Deutsches Jungvolk was founded in 1928 by Kurt Gruber under the title Jungmannschaften ("Youth Teams"), but it was renamed Knabenschaft in December 1928 and became the Deutsches Jungvolk in der Hitlerjugend in March 1931. Both the Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ or DJV) and Hitler Youth (HJ) modelled parts of their uniforms and programmes on those of the German Scouting associations and of other youth groups, which were banned by the Nazi government during 1933 and 1934. Prior to 1937 the Deutsche Jugend or German Youth wore a buckle which had a single Sieg or ‘S’ rune in brass on a nickel plated field. Maker marked ‘Ges Gesch’ along with an RZM Reichzeugmeisterei, (National Equipment Quartermaster) stamp to the rear. In very nice condition.
