Personal Effects & Collectibles

Offered here is an original WWII German Luftwaffe Flak Tischfahne (table pennant), a very attractive and highly decorative piece of Luftwaffe Flak memorabilia.

The pennant features the characteristic Luftwaffe eagle and Iron Cross design, with the red-and-white field and black detailing, finished with white fringe around the edges. The reverse carries the corresponding wartime design, making this a particularly attractive double-sided example.

The flag is mounted on its original-style wooden pole with ball finial and comes complete with a separate display base. The pole can be removed from the base, allowing the two components to be stored or transported separately. Size is approx. 14 x 14 cm

The textile shows genuine age and signs of use, including some wear to the fringe, stitching and surface, but remains very displayable. The photographs show the condition in detail.

Original Second World War German commemorative badge / tinnie marked: “Eismeerfront 1942–1943”. A very interesting wartime remembrance piece connected to service on the harsh Arctic Front (Eismeerfront), the northernmost combat theater of the German-Soviet War centered around northern Finland, Lapland, and the Arctic region near Murmansk.

The badge features:

• Front with gothic-style “Eismeerfront 1942–1943” inscription
• Reverse with prominent edelweiss-style design, strongly associated with German mountain and northern troops
• Original leather hanger / suspension strap still attached
• Attractive untouched darkened wartime patina throughout

Constructed in lightweight wartime metal with a suspension loop and period leather attachment, likely intended for wear on personal equipment, a vehicle interior, or as a commemorative keepsake by veterans serving in the Arctic theater.

The Eismeerfront was one of the most brutal operational environments of WWII, with German and Finnish troops facing extreme cold, snow, isolation, and continuous fighting against Soviet forces in the far north.

The piece remains in very good untouched condition showing honest age and wear. The leather hanger displays expected age hardening and surface wear consistent with wartime use and storage. Condition exactly as shown in the photographs.
