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.

Buyer's Premium

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, Luftwaffe. An Officer’s Visor Cap

(Luftwaffe Offizier Schirmmütze). Constructed of thick grey-blue Mützen-Trikot (cap tricot) with a twill weave (Körperbindung) pattern of parallel running ribs. The cap features a traditional high peak crown with silver aluminum bullion piping along the entire crown , as well as the top and bottom edge of the 37 mm wide black interwoven cap band. The visor is made of black vukanfiber, and is lacquered black on the obverse, and features a green lacquered finish with a squared pattern on the underside, with black leather trim sewn to the edge of the visor. The chin cord is crafted of twisted bullion cords and are attached to the cap via one silver pebbled button on each side. The insignia on the cap consists of a replacement period-original bullion eagle, constructed of rolled, twisted, and flat silver aluminum bullion wires, on a matching grey-blue wool backer. Below the eagle is an bullion wreath and cockade, also constructed of rolled, twisted, and flat silver aluminum bullion wires, on a black backer. The eagle has been previously replaced (stitches are visible on the reverse), but the wreath is original to the cap. The inside of the cap is lined with a pale/light grey silky liner, along with a pale leather sweatband. The cork sweatband under the front of the cap band is mostly missing. The crown portion of the cap once featured a maker’s diamond, but it has been removed or lost through time. The cap measures 235 mm (w) x 255 mm (h); in overall better than extremely fine condition.
