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 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.

Romania, Kingdom. A Military High School Graduation Badge

Romania (Kingdom) (Şcoala Superioară de Război) Four-piece construction, silvered bronze with red, white, blue and black enamelled shield, mounted to a silver gilt with red and green enamelled base, hallmarked and marked "800" (silver) on the pin, 47 mm x 78.2 mm, vertical pinback, intact enamels, scattered silvering wear on the shield, extremely fine.

Footnote: This badge was instituted in 1931 and was issued to officers upon graduation from the Military High School (Şcoala Superioară de Război). The institution itself was founded much earlier, nearly half a century before, on August 08, 1889 according to Royal Decree No. 2073/1889. Having completed a full course of training, each graduate was issued with a certificate or a “license” (Brevet) of a General Staff officer that theoretically allowed him henceforth to serve in that structure. Nevertheless, fortune smiled on only a few and the vast majority of officers continued service with various units of a Romanian Army.
