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:

Austria, Turkey. A Group to Croatian Born k.u.k. Officer Branko Magdić

A large studio photo of Branko Magdić (11cm x 14cm), in Austrian tunic and wearing six decorations; dated 26 May 1918, and signed by Magdić. Photo comes with two Turkish awards:

A Galipoli Star (Harp Madalyası), instituted in 1915. In silvered bronze with red enamels, tughra of Sultan Mehmed V Reşâd, over the date 1333 AH (AD 1915) within an upward-facing crescent moon, ball finials on the tips of the star points, measuring 59.0 mm (w) x 58.0 mm (h), vertical pinback, of German manufacture, intact enamels, extremely fine.

Medal for Merit, Silver Grade, Silver, 25.5 mm, clasp bearing the arabic year 1332 (1914) on the ribbon, suspended from a hanger with pinback, retaining good detail, extremely fine.

Four cap badges, all of Turkish/oriental design and with Arabic script; all pin back, in worn condition.

Footnote: this lot was recently found in Zagreb, Croatia. Judging from the photo, k.u.k. Officer Branko Magdić served in some capacity (likely as an instructor toTurkish Troops) in the Middle East during WW1.
