Diamonds for sale in german auction: Startprice 110.000 US $

[frankandfrank]

In the german auction house there is for sale:

diamonds with case:

First type, early execution, where the sword handles touch the blades. It is believed that only four specimens of this type were awarded to Mölders, Galland, Gollob and Graf. Colonel Werner Mölders was the first of these four and received his award in July 1941. A total of 52 diamonds set in silver brilliants, the band ring stamped with maker's mark "L / 50", the LDO coding of the company Godet Brothers & Co. First type of award case Made of thick cardboard with imitation leather cover, rounded corners and silver line decor, snap closure and concealed hinges. The lining of white silk and black velvet with custom cutouts for the band ring and the collar. It is believed that Hermann Göring was not satisfied with the size and quality of the first execution of this brilliant award. Therefore, it was revised and developed the second type, which was henceforth awarded to all Brillantenträger until the end of the war. Of extreme rarity!

They have also changed their website to a difficult, non-functioning mess. I can't access any of the online catalogues, and all the archives are gone.

Very nice.

Thanks for posting the photos.

Of the four of these awarded -- Mölders, Gollob, Galland and Graf -- how many are accounted for?

Looks like the first 3 all accounted for( all in good shape) but Graf's one looks like to have some heavy re-work.

Mölders diamonds were sold a few years ago. Gollob also. Graf must be also in private hands. Also Galland one piece was sold.

Thank you.

I´ll agree it´s nearly impossible to look at anything there.
You can think that they maybe not want to sell anything

This is the very same example shown by Sepp in "The fate of the Diamonds" thread here which is described as "Gordon Gollob's 1st pattern Diamonds" although no source is listed for that image.

If it is, why would that not appear in the HH description?
