militaria item Parcel of Kriegsmarine gilt buttons
- German
Here are seven large KM gilt reefer/greatcoat buttons (24mm diameter), together with six tunic buttons (20mm diameter). The design dates back to 1925, when they were introduced in the period of the Weimar republic. The old imperial buttons had a crown on top of the anchor. The maker of some is Assmann, a famous German insignia maker.

militaria item Stahlhelm tunic buttons
- German
These rare tunic buttons (21mm diameter) are of two piece construction with a blue grey enamel finish. The Stahlhelm organisation was a massive nationwide veterans' outfit on the right wing of Weimar politics, natural allies of both the NSDAP and the various Freikorps in the common struggle against the Reds.

militaria item Saxon court official's button
- German
This fine button (3cm) shows the Saxon coat of arms with 'Fideliter et constanter', the motto of Sachsen-Meiningen, one of the Saxon dukedoms. It is marked 'EXTRA FIEN' and would appear to be made of tombak with a good heavy coating of gilding to the face. Such buttons would have been worn on court officials' tunics and possibly on greatcoats.
