I wanted to share the newest piece in my collection. It's a 1935 RPT TM struck by Deschler and once owned by Hitler. This medal was owned by Frau Winter Hitler's housekeeper, and taken by her from the Brown house along with many other items belonging to Hitler. The Bavarian Government confiscated it along with the rest of the belongings until the 1950's and were then returned to her. She died in 1970 and the Hitler items were auctioned off in 1971 in Germany and also later in 1977 by Mohawk Arms. The medal has all the documentation and provenance. I hope you enjoy the pics!
