What's a max bid?

Your maximum bid should be the highest amount you're willing to pay for an item.

Your entered maximum bid will not be disclosed to the seller or other auction participants at any point.

Max bidding example:

If the current auction price is $100 dollars and you place a maximum bid of $120 dollars, the system will bid $101 dollars on your behalf.

If no other participant places a bid, you win that auction lot for $101 dollars.

If another auction participant places a bid of $110 dollars, the system will subsequently place a bid of $111 dollars on your behalf. The system will continue to bid in $1.00 dollar increments until your maximum bid of $120 dollars is exceeded.

If another auction participant places a bid for $125 dollars, the auction lot price will display $121 dollars having exceeded your previously submitted maximum bid by $1.00 dollar.

All bids are subject to a Buyer's Premium which is in addition to the placed successful bid. The following rate of Buyer's Premium will be added to the Hammer Price of each Lot that you purchase:

Norway, Nasjonal Samling. A Norwegian Front Fighters Badge

Constructed of silvered, the obverse consisting of an elongated hexagonal border, bearing a raised inscription of “FRONTKJEMPER” (“FRONT FIGHTER”) in stylized runic script, around a central Viking warrior wielding a sword and shield, the latter bearing a Nasjonal Samling-style emblem, the reverse with a vertical pinback meeting a round wire catch, stamped with a silver content mark of “830S”, measuring 33.54 mm (w) x 44.09 mm (h), weighing 16.0 grams, in extremely fine condition.

Footnote: Designed by Norwegian illustrator and Nasjonal Samling member Harald Damsleth, the Front Fighters Badge was instituted in October 1943 by decree of Norwegian leader Vidkun Quisling. It was awarded to all Norwegian personnel, both male and female, who served on the Eastern Front during the Second World War. Initially produced in both metal and silver, production was shifted to zink versions as the former materials became scarce.
