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, DJ. A Passing Of The Pimpfenprobe Document With Recipient’s Photo, 1943

The document states that Achim Mittelbach of Fähnlein “Quitzow” 1/82 has passed the so called “Pimpfenprobe”, the official admission exam for the DJ, consisting of a physical and a knowledge part. He is now eligible to wear the badges and insignia of the HJ, as well as an HJ knife. The document is dated to Göttingen (central Germany) on December 21, 1943. The Fähnlein’s honour name, “Quitzow”, presumably refers to Prussian Major General Christian Heinrich von Quitzow (1737–1806). Measuring 146x207mm, very fine condition with light fraying, some creasing, and multiple folding creases. The photo shows Mittelbach in full DJ uniform. Measuring 59x91mm, extremely fine condition with minimal creasing.
