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.

A Grouping of Two First War British Anti-German Propaganda Medal Against German Excesses

A grouping of two First War British Anti-german Propaganda medals exploiting the German Imperial Army’s excesses; both in intentionally crudely cast iron (metal) in the shape of a traditional Iron Cross; with a small suspension ring towards the top of the “medal”; one reading “For Kultur”, the other “Kaiser’s Iron Cross”; measuring approximately 38 mm x 45 mm; very fine condition.

Footnote: These “spoof” Iron Crosses were dropped over Belgian and French towns and cities near the Western Front in an effort to demoralize the enemy. “For Kultur” was also a pun on the Kaiser’s claim to be spreading culture throughout Europe.
