Rare original 1932 German DEGEA / Auergesellschaft gas-mask and respiratory-protection training publication from the famous Auer Gasschutzschule at Oranienburg, near Berlin. This large-format illustrated technical pamphlet is an original Sonderdruck (special offprint) from issues 5/6, 1932 of “Die Gasmaske – Zeitschrift für Atemschutz”, the specialist German journal devoted to gas masks, respiratory protection and protective equipment. The article is titled. Wie lernt und lehrt man die Handhabung von Atemschutzgeräten? It was written by Pepp Seidl of Berlin, identified on the publication as an instructor at the Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg. This is an especially interesting piece of pre-WWII German gas-protection history, dating from the final year of the Weimar Republic. Published in 1932, it predates the Third Reich and World War II, but documents the development of German gas-mask, respiratory-protection and civil/industrial gas-defense training that would continue and expand during the 1930s. DEGEA / Auergesellschaft was one of Germany’s important manufacturers and developers of gas masks, respirators, filters and respiratory-protection equipment. Rather than being simply an equipment advertisement, this publication provides a fascinating contemporary look at how German personnel were actually trained to fit, wear and work while using gas masks and respiratory equipment. A major attraction of this publication is its extensive period photographic content. The booklet contains numerous black-and-white photographs showing training and practical exercises at the Gasschutzschule Oranienburg, including. Gas-mask fitting and donning instruction. Men performing physical exercises while masked. Respiratory-protection training under physical load. DEGEA breathing/protective equipment in actual use. Exercise and testing equipment. Groups of trainees wearing protective equipment. One illustrated section is headed. “Augenblicksbilder aus der Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg”. Snapshots from the Gas Protection School in Oranienburg. The photographs provide exceptional visual documentation of early German gas-mask and breathing-apparatus training. One image is captioned “Rettungsübung des Stahlhelms”, documenting a rescue exercise involving the interwar German veterans’ organization Der Stahlhelm. Other illustrations show training with the DEGEA-CO-Gerät, an early Auer respiratory-protection apparatus developed for working in hazardous atmospheres. / Auergesellschaft Publication: Die Gasmaske – Zeitschrift für Atemschutz Issue: Sonderdruck aus Nr. 5/6 Date: 1932 Author: Pepp Seidl, Berlin Affiliation: Lehrer an der Gasschutzschule in Oranienburg Language: German Format: Illustrated technical pamphlet / journal offprint Pages: Approximately 8 pages plus front cover Size: Approximately 11 7/8″ × 8 1/4″ Illustrations: Numerous original black-and-white training photographs.

Published in 1933, this is a prewar Japanese biography of Chikuhei Nakajima, the founder of Nakajima Aircraft Company. Nakajima was involved in Japanese naval aviation from its very early years. After serving as a naval engineer and studying aviation, he established an aircraft research organization in 1917, which later developed into Nakajima Aircraft, one of Japan’s most important aircraft manufacturers. During World War II, Nakajima Aircraft became a major producer of Japanese military aircraft, including the Ki-43 Hayabusa “Oscar” and Ki-84 Hayate Frank. The famous A6M Zero Fighter was designed by Mitsubishi, but large numbers were also manufactured by Nakajima. Nakajima also produced the Sakae radial engine, which powered many Zero fighters. This small 40-page book was published in 1933-eight years before the attack on Pearl Harbor. That early date is one of its most interesting features: it presents Nakajima before his company became one of the giant aircraft manufacturers of wartime Japan. The book includes a portrait of Chikuhei Nakajima and describes his early life, naval engineering career, interest in aviation, aircraft development, the growth of Nakajima Aircraft, and his later political career. In other words, this is not a wartime aircraft manual. It is a contemporary prewar look at the man who helped build the Japanese aviation industry that would later produce many of Japan’s best-known military aircraft. There is age-related toning, staining, and wear. Please review the photographs carefully for condition. An interesting historical piece for collectors of Japanese military aviation, Nakajima Aircraft, Zero Fighter, Ki-43 Oscar, Ki-84 Frank, and prewar aviation history. Own a Piece of History.

This is a prewar Japanese porcelain vase made by Fukagawa Seiji, closely associated with the Imperial Japanese Navy and the Imperial Household. The front is decorated in underglaze blue with a large Imperial Japanese Navy anchor, plum blossoms, and above them the royal crest of the Takamatsu-no-miya branch of the Imperial Family. The Takamatsu-no-miya family was one of the branches of Japan’s Imperial Household, and Prince Takamatsu himself served as an officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Rather than going too deeply into his personal history, the important point here is the unusual combination of an Imperial-family crest and a naval anchor on the same piece. The maker is also highly significant. Fukagawa Seiji, founded in 1894 in Arita, became one of Japan’s most prestigious porcelain manufacturers. It won a gold medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition and later became an official supplier to the Imperial Household. The underside of this vase bears the Fukagawa Seiji maker’s mark. Fukagawa also had a documented connection with the Imperial Japanese Navy. In 1916, the company became a designated Navy factory and supplied tableware for naval officers. In 1942, it was further designated as a Navy-supervised factory, producing and supplying specialized tableware and military-use ceramics. This makes Fukagawa more than simply a famous porcelain maker: during the prewar and wartime period, it had an official manufacturing relationship with the Imperial Japanese Navy. No original box or supporting provenance documents are included with this piece, but the combination of: Imperial-family crest Imperial Japanese Navy anchor Fukagawa Seiji maker’s mark makes it a particularly interesting example of Japanese military and Imperial-era porcelain. I have not found evidence that Fukagawa continued as an official designated supplier to Japan’s postwar Self-Defense Forces. Its strongest documented military connection belongs to the era of the Imperial Japanese Navy. A small porcelain vase, but one that brings together three powerful elements of prewar Japan: the Imperial Household, the Navy, and one of Japan’s most prestigious porcelain makers.

Antique original Chinese made pith helmet, otherwise known as a sun helmet. The brim is fabric covered cork and does have some damage. I would consider the entire helmet to be very very fragile. The paper manufacturers tag inside is similar to tags found in Japanese helmets. The label reads which roughly translates to Produced by the factory of Guangda Industrial Co. I do not know exactly when the helmet was produced, who would have worn it, and whether it is a military helmet or not. The closest match I have found online was described as a Chinese made helmet for use in Imperial Japan. This helmet appears to fit the same description, but I consider it to be an unknown as I have no proof that it was used by Japan and unknown year of manufacture. Photographed in natural daylight. Photos may not accurately represent actual colors. Photos are of actual items you will receive. Please see photos for condition. I can send more photos if needed. Please keep an eye on my other listings to see more rare patches, helmets, and other military collectibles for sale. If you need more pictures, just ask.
