Replica Batons For Sale

 

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.  Maker marked to Wilm Berlin in several places on the interior.  A stunning, and impressively made piece.
