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:

Twenty-Two Percent (22%) of the Hammer Price

Germany, SS. An Italian SS Volunteer Legion Sleeve Shield

(Waffen-SS Ärmelschild Italia). Constructed of cotton dyed on the obverse in field-grey bearing a printed insigni consisting of a horizontal Italian tri-colour topped by an inscription of “ITALIA”, unmarked, measuring 95 mm (w) x 110 mm (h), with minor wear and soiling evident, in very fine condition.

 

Footnote: According to “Foreign Legions of the Third Reich Volume 2: Belgium, Great Britain, Holland, Italy, and Spain” (David Littlejohn, 1987), page 242, the example offered was undoubtedly manufactured, but whether it was worn by members of the 29th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Italian) or by Italian volunteers of the 24th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Karstjäger remains unclear.
