Huge bronze cast Hitler bust by Ernst Seger. The large bust is photographed next to a gasmask canister to show the immense size of approximately twice life size. The bust is in good, uncleaned condition. The bust was sculpted by Ernst Seger and later cast by Lauchhammer Bildguss. The bust is a rare, large example that is very hard to obtain.

Excellent uniform grouping to Private Robert L. Taylor, T5. The grouping consists of his M1942 jump suit, his ike jacket, a set of tan leather gloves, the Saga of the 82nd Airborne division, trouser belt and a beanie cap. The items have been obtained directly from Taylor and come with a signed letter of provenance stating the source. Robert L. Taylor was a close friend to Bachenheimer who was a well known individual in the 82nd airborne division and they did many recon missions together. The group would be hard to upgrade and a perfect base for further research. I enclose a copy of his honorable discharge papers with more informations. He fought in Sicily, Normandy, Naples-Foggia, Rhineland, Rome-Arno, Central Europe and Ardennes – I am sure there is more to find on him!

Verbandwatte u, Verbandmitteln a.A. in 1944.  The cap is worn and comes with the grime and dirt you’d expect.
