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.

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 Post-War Signed Photo of Knight’s Cross Recipient Major Berndt von Mitzlaff

A photo, measuring 101x143mm, extremely fine condition. The insignia he is wearing have been denazified. On the reverse, the photo is dedicated to Dieter Doden (?), the collector. Mitzlaff states that the picture was taken in 1944 in Merseburg, and that there was no ceremony, since they were on the run.

Footnote: Berndt von Mitzlaff (1914–2003) was born in Schkopau (Saxony). He won a German Cross in Gold on October 25, 1943 as part of the Panzer Reconnaissance Detachment 8 in the 8th Panzer Division. Mitzlaff received the Knight’s Cross on December 20, 1943 in the same unit, this time as their Commander. The highest rank he achieved during the Second War was that of Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel). After the war, Mitzlaff joined the Bundeswehr in late 1955 and served as the military attaché to the Western German embassy in Oslo. He was retired in 1972 in the rank of Oberst (Colonel). He died in Koblenz in 2003.
