WW2 German Eastern Front Carved Wolchow Stick, with geometric designs and large Iron Cross to the centre. Dated 1943 and with “OSTFRONT SMOLENSK”. This example has had a later applied brass cap from a cartridge mounted to the end. Measures 86cms in length.

The city of Smolensk is situated 220 miles south-west of Moscow. On July 16th 1941 the Germans captured the city and repulsed Russian counter attacks. In late 1943 Goring ordered the total destruction of the city in lines with the scorched earth policy, but this order was ignored by Generaloberst Gotthard Heinrici, resulting in his dismissal as commander of the town. The city was liberated by the Red Army on 25th September 1943 and was given the rare title of Hero City.

WW2 Royal Air Force Spitfire Spade Grip Recovered from Battle of Britain Crash Site, interesting example of the spade pattern grip which is missing its firing button. Stamped to the central column “AH 8272”, stamped to another section “AH 0 16068 ISS 4”. Attached to the grip is a paper label which states, “HAND GRIP FROM CONTROL STICK ON SPITFIRE, SHOT DOWN AT WOOLWICH DURING THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN. THE HOLE ON THE TOP RIGHT HAND SIDE IS FOR THE FIRING BUTTON FOR THE MACHINE GUNS WHICH WERE MOUNTED IN THE WINGS OF THE AIRCRAFT. THE ITEM WAS OBTAINED FROM THE MUSEUM OF WWII AIRCRAFT”. Generally good condition item, worthy of further research.
WW1 German Inert Stick Grenade, marked ‘5 ½ seconds’ to wood haft, complete with head. Much of the original field grey paint finish remains with good stencilled markings to the head and main body, complete with belt loop and knurled base cap and porcelain ball and string igniter. Some cracks and damage to the head but otherwise a good example. Inked to the bottom of the cap is “Somme 1916” but we believe this to be a later addition.
