Historic commentsephemera
Contemporary magazines, drill manuals, regimental and unit histories, photos and photograph albums, postcards, drawings and prints, army lists (of officers, principally American, British, French and German). My personal interest here is in Napoleonic era prints and drawings of uniform studies.
Here is a selection of militaria from this category: | [ Show all ] |

By-knife fork for Highland dress dirk - Scottish
This would have been part of a by-knife set from the scabbard of a Scots dirk. Together with a small knife of matching design, the set would have been mounted on the outer face of the scabbard, normally one above the other. The dirk would have been mounted en-suite with a large citrine as a pommel.

The Camp Men - The SS Officers who ran the Nazi Concentraton Camp System by French L. MacLean, published by Schiffer, USA, 1999, hardback, 380 pages (22 x 28.5 cm). It gives details, where known, of service histories and medal awards and is copiously illustrated with all the 'bad guys'!

Pair of silver-plated court shoe buckles - English
This is a particularly nice pair of buckles, which typically would have been worn at court or on special occasions. The base is silver-plated bronze with ormolu ornaments (the gilt elements on the frame).

Student fencing sash and enamel badge - German
This silk sash with the little enamel badge, both sporting the Imperial black/white/red colours, epitomises the student duelling world of this era, together with the logo (picked out in silver bullion) 'Rast Ich so rost Ich', loosely: 'Inactive I rust'. In Bavaria the duelling tradition was still active into the 1950s.

Letter from Sachsenhausen concentration camp - German
This is a rare surviving letter in German from Gustav Salek, possibly a Czech political prisoner, in Sachsenhausen concentration camp. It is dated 21 April 1940 and I have translated it below - please excuse any mistakes, as German is not my mother tongue.
