Field Marshal and Grand Admiral Batons

 

German Generalfeldmarschall and Grandadmiral Baton’s are some of the most beautifully made batons in the world,

manufactured by the finest Jewelers in Germany during the war.  Shown below are original Generalfeldmarschall batons that reside in museums throughout American and Europe. 

 

Visit the Replica Batons page for examples of museum quality batons that occasionally are available on the collector market.  If you are interested in obtaining a replica baton, please contact me as I am usually aware of pieces that are available for purchase.
