Here’s a really rare find, a civilian Life Saving Honour Medal, which was awarded for rescuing individuals at the risk of one’s own life while outside of any employment capacity.
Constructed of solid silver, this is a very heavy medal, weighing 53 grams, and measuring 1.95 inches (49.80 mm) in diameter and .12 inches (3.06 mm) thick.
On the front is a German eagle with the Swastika on it’s chest, while on the reverse we see a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the words, “Für Rettung Aus Gefahr” (For rescue from danger).
This medal was purchased along with several other unrelated items in a US veteran’s bring-back collection and has never been cleaned or polished – stored away since the war.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!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.

Luftwaffe M35 Helmet – Reissue (former DD reissued as SD) with Rare Huber Jordan & Körner Decal
SOLD!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!
