What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

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.

Buyer's Premium

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

A Legion Condor Honour Award Plaque to the Heavy Flak Unit "F 88"

In silvered stamped brass; illustrating a map of Spain in relief, with a flak artillery gun in front, a ribbon banner inscribed "legion Condor" with an open-ended wreath between the words with the inscription "1. F.88" inside the wreath and Luftwaffe eagle above the map, a raised elongated plate below inscribed "Im kampf gegen den Bolschewismus 1936 Spanien 1938" (In the Struggle Against Bolshevism in Spain 1936-1938); artist name inscribed “Otto B. Löbig-Cartagena” on bottom right; measuring 205 mm x 159 mm; near extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Although mention of the Condor Legion always brings its flying units to mind, in fact its largest unit was the anti-aircraft artillery group, F88, with an establishment of 1,400 men. Unlike other countries at the time, German AA artillery (Flak) formed part of the Air Force (Luftwaffe) rather than the Army (Heer).
