Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

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.

Germany, Luftwaffe. A I Pattern Officer's Dagger, by E.F. Horster, Solingen

This dagger features a well preserved nickel-plated magnetic steel blade with the blade’s reverse ricasso is struck with the maker marked “ E.F. Horster, Solingen”, along with the maker’s stylized logo. It features a double-edged flattened diamond-shaped design, with minimal scratches common to extraction and return to the scabbard. The blades tip has experience a knock therefore leaving a rather blunt tip. The thin blue leather blade washer remains fully intact and attached to the dagger beneath the crossguard. Both sides of the downward-sloping winged aluminum cross guard feature a gilt sunwheel swastika in the centre. The dark leather grip shows heavier signs of wear with its twelve rows of semi-tightly wrapped twisted wire. The aluminum pommel is also well preserved, tightly attached. Similarly to the crossguard, the pommel also also features a bright, and well preserved gilt sunwheel swastika on both sides. The scabbard is constructed of an aluminum base, with firmly attached aluminum fittings and its standard leather covering, with moderate wear. Attached to the scabbard is an aluminum dagger hanger chain with a spring-loaded fastener, marked “Ges. Gesch.” and “OLC” on the reverse. Overall, this dagger is in better than very fine condition.
