Anti-Partisan Badge in Silver by C.E. Juncker
This is a late war type-1 Anti-partisan badge by C.E. Juncker. Made of zinc, the plating is long gone, but the detail and quality of this badge is still very much in tact. Zinc tends to lose its plating over time, which is completely normal and expected.

This is a late war type-1 Antipartisan badge by C.E. Juncker. Made of zinc, the plating is long gone, but the detail and quality of this badge is still very much in tact. Zinc tends to lose its plating over time, which is completely normal and expected.
The detail of the snake’s heads is extremely strong, with little noticeable wear. In fact, there is very little detail loss to be found anywhere on this piece. The only notable flaw is the front surface crack that runs along the outer profile of the snake, extending the width of the wreath. This crack does not go all the way through the badge. The reverse is the semi-hollow type, with large pin and silhouette (concave) snake heads. The pin hinge and catch hook still show the silver plating.
Arguably one of the more rare awards of the Third Reich, the Anti-partisan Badge was awarded to only a handful of soldiers; 1,650 Bronze badges were awarded, 510 Silver, and 47 Gold (these are approximate numbers). The Anti-partisans were Gorilla fighting forces opposed to the German invaders and were present in almost all theaters from the Soviet Union to France. The Anti-partisan badge was awarded to German soldiers participating in 20, 50 or 100 days of Partisan fighting, with one of the three classes (Bronze, Silver or Gold) awarded for each of the three levels respectively.

Luftwaffe M35 Helmet – Reissue (former DD reissued as SD) with Rare Huber Jordan & Körner Decal
SOLD!We may have more in stock and just not yet listed. Click here to send us a message and let us know what you're looking to buy.This is quite a unique helmet in several ways. It started it’s life as a double-decal M35 helmet, and was period repainted (possibly camo paint) with the scarce Huber Jordan & Körner replacement Luftwaffe decal applied over the new paint. The decal in itself is a real hard one to come by, and with the soldier’s name applied to the tape on the inside only makes this one more special!

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!We may have more in stock and just not yet listed. Click here to send us a message and let us know what you're looking to buy.Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.
