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.

The Juncker Unqualified air gunner was discussed on the Wehrmacht awards forum and shown to have a wartime black finish due to the heat signatures you can see around the hinge and catch- please see this thread;http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?t=756704&highlight=unqualified Footnote: The Unqualified Air Gunners and Flight Engineers Badge was introduced on April 25, 1944, and was awarded to Luftwaffe personnel acting in capacity of air gunners, and had taken part in at least ten combat operations (or had been wounded in the course of these combat operations). The recipients of these badges had not qualified for the Air Gunners Badge, but were instead replacing air gunners who suffered high rate of casualties in the closing stages of the War.
