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, HJ. An Honour Knife

(HJ-Ehrenfahrtenmesser). A rare HJ Honour Knife measuring 275 mm in length when inserted into the scabbard, featuring a 148 mm-long nickel-plated magnetic metal blade with a sharpened tip and edges. The blade is unmarked and sits securely within a magnetic metal crossguard with a hooked quillon. A handle, similarly constructed of magnetic, features an etched floral design at the pommel, bearing a central red-painted HJ flag with a black-painted mobile swastika. The grip is facilitated by two strips of pebbled black bakelite, held in place by two visible magnetic metal rivets. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of black-painted magnetic metal. The throat of the scabbard retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the knife in place during storage. A blackened leather belt hanger is secured to the scabbard by two magnetic metal rivets, and retains a functional magnetic metal snap button for attachment. The knife is fully unmarked. Scratching is evident to the blade, along with some oxidation and loss of paint to the metal features, as well as age-appropriate fatigue to the leather belt hanger. It is in an overall very fine condition.
