Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

Germany, Heer. A Flak Officer's Visor Cap, by Clemens Wagner

This cap is in typical Heer (Army) green cap trikot with a 43 mm forest green wool band and a traditional high peak, with matching red piping along the top edge and flanking either side of the band, indicating the branch to be Flak. It is decorated with a well-detailed eagle insignia on the peak in silver bullion wire, in various textures, interlaced with gray threading giving definition to the wings, on a moss green wool base, plus an open-ended wreath in silver bullion wire on the band below, interlaced with white threading giving definition to the wreath, surrounding a tri-colour cockade on the band, the cockade in silver and blackened rolled bullion wire with a red felt centre. The silver bullion chin cords are appropriately knotted at either end, designating the wearer to be an officer, and are attached to pebbled silvered buttons on either side. The vulcanfibre visor has a smooth black patent leather-look upper and has a butterscotch-coloured synthetic underside. The sweatband in light brown leather, emboss stamped "EXTRA" inside a capsule-shaped frame on the right side, a German newspaper acting as a support under the sweatband at the front, with the two ends stitched together at the rear. The inside of the cap is lined in a greenish-gold coloured nylon, with the dome brandishing a diamond-shaped celluloid moisture shield, printed in black ink on the lining with a stylized eagle bearing a capsule-shaped bar inscribed "Erstklassig" (First Class), above the Clemens Wagner Manufacturing insignia, underneath the moisture shield, measuring 220 mm x 255 mm x 150 mm in height overall. The cap exhibits fraying and mothing in the green doeskin wool, the forest green wool band and the red piping, with one large hole prevalent at the rear, surface chipping on the vulcanfibre visor, the greenish-gold coloured nylon lining in the dome tattered and frayed, soiling and wear on the sweatband and lining from active use. The eagle appears to have been re-applied. As worn, better than fine. (C:100)
