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.

A Second War Croatian Ustaša Defense Badge

Badge was made of stamped aluminum, measures 43mm x 57mm, with typical crimped-in "Braća Knaus,Zagreb" reverse set up . Numbered "3343", excellent details, not a ground-dug example; in extremely fine condition. Very rare to find in excellent condition.

Footnote: this type of badge was worn by the members of the "Ustaša Defense" Units. Primary role of the Ustaša Defense was security and policing of the camps like Jasenovac, Stara Gradiska, and others. These units were under the command of Eugen Dido Kvaternik first, then Maks Luburic took over the command in 1942.
