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 Wound Badge in Black certificate to Grenadier Regiment 943; Normandy Wounded

A certificate, measuring 140x199mm, extremely fine condition with light scuffing, light discolouration, and folding crease. It states that Unteroffizier (NCO) Ernst Lange of the 2nd Company of Grenadier Regiment 943 has been wounded on September 23, 1944 and received a Wound Badge in Black. The document is dated to Straubing (Bavaria) on October 4, 1944 and signed by the Oberfeldarzt and Chief Medical Officer of Reserve Military Hospital Straubing, his name is indecipherable.

Footnote: Grenadier Regiment 943 was established in December of 1943 in Brittany, France. When the Allied Forces landed in Normandy, the regiment was deployed there to help repel the enemy. It then had to retreat to Germany and suffered heavy losses on the way. Lange was most likely injured during this retreat.
