Waffen-SS Soldbuch & Document Grouping of SS-Hauptscharfuhrer Richard Thies who Served with the Waffen-SS Latvian Foreign Volunteer Division, the soldbuch is an army issue example which has a uniform photograph to the inside front cover. The book details that Thies first served with a SS Police division before transferring to a SS Flak battalion and then finally in 1944 was moved to Gen.Kdo. VI SS-Freiwilligen-Korps 15th and 19th Latvian SS divisions, serving on the eastern front in North Russia, Latvia and Kurland. He was awarded the 13th March 1938 medal, 1st October medal (Prague castle bar worn in uniform photograph), 1939 Memelands medal and the War Service Cross 2nd class with swords. The book is well filled with many entries and stamps etc. Some ink run from when the book has got wet at some point but all still easily readable. Accompanying the soldbuch are three linen SS issue licenses and passes etc, all named to him but without photographs. A very interesting grouping to a German serving in a Waffen-SS foreign volunteer unit. Original Waffen-SS books to these units are rare to find as many were destroyed before being captured as many reprisals were taken against foreign volunteer units.

Rare Napoleonic Wars Light Cavalry Universal Pattern Saddle circa 1805, two piece example having the original wooden frame with removable leather covered padded seat section. This type clearly illustrated in “Horses and Saddlery” by Major G Tylden. The seat cover sadly has been infested with moth and has deteriorated quite badly. Accompanied by some professional photographs of how it once appeared. Ex Edward Kenten collection
Rare WW2 British Airborne Forces B.S.A Folding Bicycle, very good example retaining much of its original field paint finish. Marked to the front with BSA makers details. Fixing screw remains in good working order. Some later replaced parts as per ususal with these items as they were often used in the post war years. In our opinion still a good example of a now very rare item of WW2 Airborne equipment. It is believed that 60,000 examples of these folding bikes were manufactured by the BSA between 1942 and 1945. They were famously issued to the British Airborne Forces who parachuted into Normandy on D-Day and Arnhem later in 1944. They were issued these bikes as a way for the troops to quickly cover large areas of ground in a quiet manner as they were behind enemy lines. However many of the paratroopers found these cumbersome so abandoned them soon after landing. The bikes were held out in front of the paratroopers when they parachuted in behind enemy lines. Many famous wartime images can be seen of these bikes in use. We would advise all seriously interested bidders to view this item in person to satisfy themselves as to its condition. Sold not subject to return due to size and weight.
