Hermann Goering Boar Tusk Corkscrew. Hermann Goering was the commander in chief of the Luftwaffe and a close associate of Adolf Hitler. He was known for his lavish taste and avid enthusiasm for the outdoors. He was the highest ranking Nazi official to be tried at the Nuremberg Trials and sentenced to execution by hanging but committed suicide by cyanide the night before his execution. This corkscrew came from one of the Goering trains in Carinhall and was used in the Berghof where it was found by 1st Lieutenant D.C. Watts of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Infantry Division. Corkscrew handle is made of boar tusk and has the Goering Coat of Arms on a silver endcap on the handle. Some oxidation present on endcap with coat of arms deeply etched and Rominten visible under coat of arms as well as the date 26.IX.36, presumably the day the boar was hunted by Goering. Boar tusk has small chip at end tip. Corkscrew has seen use, oxidation present on screw. Included is a certificate of authencity. Good condition. See lots 136-151 for more Hermann Goering items. From the Michael Clifton collection.

SPECIAL TERMS OF SALE
We work very hard for the consignor as well as the buyer. The auction moves fast between the auctioneer, the on site bids, and the live internet bids. Because of this, one little delay, or what we call 'hiccup' in the internet connection, can cause an online bid to be missed. We apologize if this happens, but it is sometimes inevitable. Please be aware of this when attending a Proxibid auction.
Due to the element of Third Party Auctions and the reliability/unreliability of technical issues, we reserve the right to end an auction early or extend an auction as we see fit. We value our customers, both buyers and sellers, and try very hard to ensure an exciting, smooth, successful auction! We are happy and willing to work with you under any circumstances.
