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:

Germany, Heer. An EM/NCO’s M43 Field Cap

(Heer Einheitsfeldmütze M43). An extremely well-preserved Heer EM/NCO’s M43 field cap, constructed of field-grey wool twill. The cap is fully surrounded by fold-down side panels, scalloped at the front, offering optional neck and ear protection for the wearer. When not in use, the panels are rolled up and secured in place with dual pebbled magnetic metal buttons on the right flap meeting an equal number of reinforced buttonholes on the left flap. Stitched onto the peak is an insignia consisting of a field-grey trapezoidal rayon base bearing a machine-embroidered silver-grey Wehrmacht eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, above a tri-colour cockade. The insignia measures 55 mm (w) x 42 mm (h) and is secured in place with its original factory stitching. Completing the exterior features is a protruding cardboard-reinforced visor set firmly within the structure of the cap. A grey cotton-blended liner fully encompasses the interior. Stamped onto the crown in black ink is a size stamp of “56”, a Reichsbetriebsnummer of “0/0250/2562” for an unidentified Berlin-based manufacturer, and a date of “43”. The cap measures approximately 195 mm (w) x 275 mm (l) x 125 mm (h). Free of evident faults, the cap is in a near mint condition.
