COASTAL ARTILLERY EM/NCO BREAST EAGLE
This is a standard Navy yellow on green breast eagle. It is used and without any damage showing only light age.
WWII STAG HANDLE SHORT BAYONET, (EXCELLENT PLUS)
The nickel plating of this bayonet shows some age and some scratching. It is also slightly dull, but would clean up. The mortise button and lock work well. The original red felt is still in the rifle slot. This hilt is equipped with a set of perfectly fit stag grip plates. These grip plates have turned a beautiful golden color on the edges, and the obverse and reverse grains are very pleasing to the eye, varying in color from tan to dark brown. These plates are really nice! The scabbard shell is straight throughout. The paint, though, is probably about 85%. and could clean up some if worked on. The frog is a patent leather and is crazed. The blade of this example is a stepped end short type, having narrow fuller construction. The plating is still bright. All in all, this blade grades at about excellent to excellent plus. The obverse ricasso is stamped with the Anton Wingen trademark. The original leather washer is present. 13 3/4 inches overall.

The hilt of this Army Dress Bayonet still has good nickel plated finish. It needs to be cleaned, but it looks to be as though it should come up to near mint condition with no problem.

The grip plates are the black checkered celluloid and are in crisp condition being retained by nickel plated steel rivets having dressed heads.

WWII DDAC SPORTS SHIRT PATCH
Bevo DDAC sports patch, uncut, a little dirty.
GERMAN WWII SS EM TUNIC
This is an SS tunic in my collection for almost 50 years. I believe it to be repurposed from a Kriegsmarine or Coastal Artillery or other branch tunic for SS use in a Tropical Climate. The tunic is a small size with 4 pleated pockets with the white piped infantry boards and machine sewn eagle which came with it. There is also clear evidence that it once had a cuff title sewn on the left sleeve above a patch as pictured. The buttons which are original to the tunic are the silver pebbled hollow back type painted green, showing even wear and dating to 42. Markings on the rear of the buttons are G.B.; G.L.L.; W. B. There is a repair on the inside rear of the collar and the patch on the left sleeve. NO PAY PAL Priority mail Plus insurance paid by buyer CONSIGNMENT ITEM TP.
