MISCELLANEOUS MILITARIA PAGE 2

Unique item found in junk shop This is a railway latern as used on European railways during WW2. It is in excellent condition with all internal components near perfect. Has red and white triangular pattern on two sides. One side has white (clear) lense and the other side has red lense. I believe this to be a switch type latern as it has heavy mounting lugs on bottom. On the latern is a brass plaque which states: Rail Head Signal. Removed from Dachau Prison Camp Dachau Germany Seventh Army Engineers May l945.!!! This is a unique piece of WW2 memorabilia. It is fully fuctional and besides a little lite rusting is very very good condition!!!!! $600.00

Here is a rare chance for ordinance collectors. This is a shell case for the German K-5E Railway Gun more commonly known as The Leopold Gun or Anzio Annie. The shell case measures approx 14" at base and ll" at projectile (280mm or 28cm). This case is extremely rare and I know of only one or two other in the USA and Europe. Of the 25 or so guns manufactured only two remain. One is in the Aberdeen Proving Grounds USA and the other is in Cap Griz-Nez France. This case is 44 kilos of brass (96.8 lbs) an is in virtually mint condition. The other I have seen in France was in poor condition. No dents and all markings very visible. l940 dated marked K-5 with waffenampt and other markings. Came from officers in Belgium where guns were deployed to shoot across the English Channel. NOT CHEAP (Buyer pays shipping and packaging) Have much info and photos of actual gun in action. $2,500.00

For all you avid SS collectors. Here is an opportunity to purchase all four Long Service medals of the SS. I have the 4,8,12,&25year Long service medals issued by the SS for long and honorable service. The 4 & 8 are sometimes encountered but the 12 & 25 are EXTREMELY RARE with thier correct boxes. The 12 year is mint with teardrop loop and black box with silver SS runes. The 25 year is also mint with correct black box with gold SS runes on cover. The 25 year is especially rare as it has the round suspension loop instead of the more common teardrop (see John R Angolia book: Political and Civil Awards of the Third reich page 159. Loop hallmarked L/58 Box is excellent and show some wear to Gold SS runes. All have their cornflower blue ribbons with appropriate silver or gold Bullion SS runes. Purchased in Europe from a collection 20 years ago. EXPENSIVE Valued in Formans Guide (l993) at over $4000.00. POR
