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 Spanish Civil War Award Document Grouping to Heinz Weissmüller

A collection consisting of three documents, measuring 254x354mm and 275x392mm respectively, all in extremely fine condition with minor scuffing and age-related discolouration.

One document is German, stating that Obergefreiter (Senior Lance Corporal) Heinz Weissmüller is awarded the Spanish Cross in Silver with Swords for his services during the Spanish civil war (1936–39). The document is dated to Berlin on June 6, 1939, and carries AH's facsimile.

The other two documents are Spanish, thanking Sargento (Sergeant) Weissmüller for his services and awarding him “la Cruz roja del Mérito Militar” (the Cross of Military Merit with Red Decoration) and “la Medalla de la Campaña” (the Medal for the Campaign of 1936–1939). Both documents are dated to Burgos on May 4, 1939 and carry the facsimile of the National Defense Minister, Fidel Dávila Arrondo. (C:44)
