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 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.

An Early Prussian 2nd Garde Ulanen (Guards Uhlan) Regiment Passport

Measuring 81x136mm, better than fine condition light scuffing and creasing, a small rip at the bottom, period repairs, and a double page having come loose; in original protective cover. The military passport was issued to Unteroffizier (NCO) Klingelhoeffer, dated to Potsdam on September 22, 1881.

Footnote: Friedrich Wilhelm Klingelhoeffer was born March 19, 1857 in Wetter (Hesse). He joined the army on November 9, 1878 and was deployed to the 2nd Garde Ulanen (Guards Uhlan) Regiment, stationed in Berlin. On September 24, 1880, Klingelhoeffer was promoted to Gefreiter (Lance Corporal), and on November 7, 1883 to Unteroffizier (NCO). The passport contains two entries of a Garde Train Battalion, however, they are very difficult to read. “Train” in French and German military language refers to logistics and transport units. The entires are dated to May 19, 1883, and again to an unknown date in 1885. Klingelhoeffer was discharged on September 23, 1887 after successful completion of his military service time, and transferred to the Reserve of his Garde Train Battalion.
