Replica Batons For
Note:
I get many inquiries on batons and questions as to when
‘economy’ versions of these will be available. I hope at sometime in 2008 to be able to
offer ‘economy’ batons at more affordable prices for the common
collector and am attempting to work with other sources and suppliers in making
this a reality. For now, I only
have available what you see offered here.
These high end replicas are quickly escalating in value and getting
harder to find so I expect the prices will continue to go up. The ‘economy’ versions, if
ever produced, will not be of the same quality as the pieces currently listed
here and will likely still be somewhat pricey due to the amount of detail and
workmanship involved in creating them.

Grand Admiral’s Formal Baton Absolutely stunning museum
quality replica of a Kriegsmarine Grand Admirals formal baton of World War
Two Vintage, accurately made to the finest detail. Deep blue velvet covers the shaft of
this formal baton upon which alternating wehrmact eagles, iron crosses and
fouled anchors are embedded. The
end capitals are gold with two gold rings surrounding a silver inscription
ring with a raised anchor chain motif. The end plates of the batons display a
U-Boat Badge at the upper end and a black swastika at the bottom end as is
correct. This pattern of baton
was the Donitz design, yet the inscription band has Grossadmiral Raeders name
on it. One might assume that this
was done intentionally to prevent this from ‘mistakenly’ being
sold as original. Dark blue leather case decorated by gold national eagles,
with white silk and black velvet padded interior. |

Luftwaffe Field Marshal’s Interim Baton Museum quality replica of GFM
Sperrle’s Luftwaffe field marshal’s interim stab baton. This is the daily baton and symbol of
rank that field marshals carried with them during the course of daily routine
(the ceremonial batons were only carried during formal occasions). This is an extremely well made,
jeweler quality replica accurate in every detail. Originally there was some controversy
as to whether this was actually Sperrle’s interim stab, as the
whereabouts of the original is unknown.
It is now believed that this
a replica and is being offered here as such and at a replica price,
indicative of the high level of quality.
Excellent condition, showing age and beautiful toning to the silver
and gold plated fittings. The
staff itself is a beautiful dark ebony wood. The tassel is missing, and a
replacement cord is attached.
