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.

Prussia, State. An Award Certificate for an Order of the Crown, II Class with Star and Swords, to Generalmajor Rudolf Dänner

(Königliche Kronen-Orden, II. Klasse mit Stern und Schwertern Verleihungsurkunde). An award certificate for an Order of the Crown, II Class with Star and Swords, named to Generalmajor Rudolf Dänner, dated 24 April 1918, signed by Hofmarschall George von Kanitz, measuring 210 mm (w) x 328 mm (h), in extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Rudolf Dänner commanded the Bavarian 1st Infantry Regiment at the outbreak of the First World War. Severely wounded in September 1914 during combat in France, he recuperated in hospital for a month and by March 1915 was promoted to Generalmajor and placed in command of the Bavarian 1st Infantry Brigade. His brigade saw action at both Vimy and Verdun. Selected to command the Bavarian 1st Infantry Brigade, Dänner provided assistance to the 18th Army during the 1918 Spring Offensive, where his exemplary leadership earned him the Pour le Mérite and the Order of the Crown, the certificate for which is offered here. After the war, he briefly commanded the 2nd Bavarian Infantry Division and later took up a staff position in the demobilization of the Royal Bavarian Army. Dänner retired from active duty in 1920 and was promoted to Generalleutnant. He died on 21 August 1936.
