Japanese Pistols & Rifles
Japanese Type 26 Revolver
SOLD!This is a very rare, hard to find Tokyo Arsenal Japanese revolver Type 26 with all matching numbers, down to the grips. Only 59,000 were made during the war, making this surviving pistol a true gem. The revolver retains approximately 60% of its original bluing, with all markings still crisp and clear. Since many of these surviving revolvers were refinished after the war, its difficult to find one with any original finish at all.

SS Tunic — 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division, Götz von Berlichingen
SOLD!A very nice M42 Panzer SS Tunic here from the 17th SS Panzergrenadier Division, Götz von Berlichingen. All of the sewn insignia are original to this tunic, with no signs of post-war application or repair. As I sometimes do with SS items (especially cloth) I sought a second, and even a third opinion on this one from the most respected SS cloth collectors in the industry. After an in-hand inspection all are in agreement that everything about this SS tunic is genuine and period applied, with no signs of post-war application or modification…

Knights Cross with Ribbon & Case — Juncker 800 L/12
SOLD!Here’s one for the serious WW2 investor folks, the ever desirable Juncker 800 L/12 Knights Cross, with ribbon and case — all original to the piece! The Juncker made Knights Cross is considered the most desirable of the Knights Crosses primarily due to the fact their factory was destroyed late in the war by allied bombing. What this means is, since any unissued crosses (as well as the dies) would have been destroyed in the bombing…

Iron Cross Second Class – Klein & Quenzer (65)
SOLD!Iron Cross Second Class EKII, 1939 (Eisernes Kreuz II Klasse) with “65” stamped into the ring, which signifies the maker, “Klein & Quenzer”. This Iron Cross may look a little rough, but a cross like this tells a story all its own. As any collector knows, to clean or restore a piece such as this one would destroy its history and value. Aside from some modest petina, and very slight surface color, the overall black finish is still about 95% on both sides, with the trademark “veins” running through random sections. A very nice cross indeed!
