All,
As some of you may know, I am the owner of the von Ribbentrop Luger, as portrayed in Jan's book. The provenance is iron-clad and the paper trail, complete with newspaper stories goes back to 1945. This is the real deal.

After the purchase, over the years,I have assembled a great deal of associated material, such as his autographed photo in an SS general's uniform (an honorary rank), a photo of von Ribbentrop on the West Front wearing a P-08 holster (?), autographs, documents and many, many photographs and original news clippimgs associated with Von Ribbentrop as a diplomat and during the trial. From a more important historical perspective, present also is personal eye witness information from the Lieutanant who was OIC at the execution and also from the Captain physician who was present and did the "pronouncement" following the deliverance of this man to justice.

I believe this is a very rare and significant grouping and would like to get from the group a sense of it's estimated worth.

Thanks,
Tom A.
