Its precursor, the German Workers' Party (Deutsche Arbeiterpartei; DAP), existed from 1919 to 1920. The Nazi Party emerged from the extremist German nationalist ("Völkisch nationalist"), racist and populist Freikorps paramilitary culture, which fought against communist uprisings in post–World War I Germany. The party was created to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism. The price includes UK delivery. M 139.

**VERY LARGE**QUALITY**19th Century French Riberon Spanish Import Navaja Folding Fighting / Utility Knife With Maker Marked Sharp Scimitar Form Blade, Decorated Polished Horn & Brass Section Scales. Sn 22193 - 22193
The Navaja is a traditional Spanish folding-blade fighting and utility knife. One of the oldest folding knife patterns still in production, the first true Navajas originated in the Andalusian region of southern Spain. In Spain, the term navaja is often used to generally describe all folding-blade knives. The etymology of the word navaja is derived from the Latin novacula, meaning razor, and the Andalusian knife known as the navaja is thought to have derived from the navaja de afeitar, or straight razor used for shaving. Like the straight razor, the navaja's blade folds into the handle when not in use. In Spain the navaja epitomized the concept of a defensive knife to be carried at all times on the person. The design is thought to have been first adopted by the working classes - mule drivers, teamsters, artisans, and sailors as well as by the majos, the "gentlemen of the lower class" of Andalusia. Its association with barateros, pícaros, jácaros and rufos (gamblers, rogues, ruffians, and thugs) comes from its frequent use as a weapon of the underworld, where it was often used to enforce the collection of gambling debts or to rob innocent victims. Towards the end of the 19th century, French cutlers started mass-producing millions of navajas, and eventually drove the Spanish artisanal production out of business. This quality made example is one of the French export Navajas made for the Spanish market. The steel blade in scimitar form is just over 8” in length, 1 ½” broad at its widest and the spine is 3mm thick. The blade has dark age related staining consistent with age and one side has the faint French makers name ‘Riberon’, a known maker of Navaja's. The knife measures 17 ¾” overall length when open. The knife has Polished Horn scales set on a brass frame & secured by dome head brass pins. The lower polished horn sections have attractive typical naïve foliate hand applied decoration. The upper scales have been polished until translucent and coloured with a Tortoise Shell appearance. One of the upper scales is inlaid with a white metal escutcheon engraved with flower device. The upper scalloped bolsters are brass. The lower bolsters have typical brass roundels. The price for this attractive fighting / utility knife worthy of further research regarding the maker includes UK delivery. Sn 22193 (folding knives drawer office)

*Rare* Waffen-SS steel Belt Buckle by F.W. Assmann & Söhne in Lüdenscheid RZM 155/40 SS and Leather Belt. MISC 1020. - MISC 1020
The SS could trace its origins to several early Freikorps and Nazi Party formations, among them the Erhardt Naval Brigade, Der Stahlhelm, and most significantly the Sturmabteilung (SA), of which the SS was originally a subordinate organisation. In 1925, Hitler ordered the formation of a new bodyguard unit, the Schutzkommando (protection command). It was formed by Julius Schreck and included old Stoßtrupp members, Emil Maurice and Erhard Heiden. The only insignia was the swastika armband, usually homemade, except for the handful of men constituting the Stoßtrupp successor, the Schutzkommando, who continued the use of the Totenkopf pinned to cap or collar. That same year, the Schutzkommando was expanded to a national level. It was renamed successively the Sturmstaffel (storm squadron), and finally the Schutzstaffel (protection squadron), abbreviated to SS (on 9 November). Maker marked with ‘RZM 155/40 SS’ which is the code of the firm F.W. Assmann & Söhne in Lüdenscheid in 1940. The buckle measuring; 64mm x 48mm and in good overall condition-see images.

WWII German Dienstglas 10x50 Carl Zeiss Jena Binoculars. OPT 849. - OPT 849
A pair of German 10x50 power issued field binoculars cased. The binoculars retain much of their original factory finish. They are nicely marked « Dienstglas 10x50 / 9264 blc + (which indicates production by Carl Zeiss- and the + indicates suitability in cold weather down to -40c). (By World War I Zeiss was the world's largest camera-production company. Zeiss Ikon represented a significant part of the production, along with dozens of other brands and factories, including a major works at Dresden. In 1928 the Zeiss company acquired Hensoldt AG, which has produced Zeiss binoculars and riflescopes since 1964 - this has occasionally resulted in twin products being offered under both the "Hensoldt" and "Zeiss" brand names. The Hensoldt System Technology division (resulting from a merger of the military-optics operations of Leica and Hensoldt) was continued by Zeiss under the "Hensoldt" name until 2006.As part of Nazi Germany's Zwangsarbeiter program, Zeiss used forced labour, including Jews and other minorities during World War II. The destruction of the war caused many companies to divide into smaller subcompanies and others to merge. There was great respect for the engineering innovation that came out of Dresden before the war the world's first 35 mm single-lens reflex camera, the Kine Exakta, and the first miniature camera with good picture-quality were developed there). They come with their bakelite eye cup lens protective rain cover and the leather neck strap. The optics are clear and show no signs of use, damage or tampering. A very nice and desirable set in excellent good condition. OPT 849.
