The awards and documents from the estate of Knight's Cross recipient Lieutenant General Hans Degen will initially be auctioned off individually and sold subject to a possible overall bid.
After that, it will be possible to submit a total bid for all lot numbers in the awards group. To do this, the sums of the individual hammer prices are added up and it is possible to place bids on the complete group. If several total bids are received, the highest bidder is awarded the bid.
If no total bid is received that exceeds the sum of the individual hammer prices by at least 10%, the conditional hammer prices for the individual lots remain valid.
A combined bid can also be made in advance of the auction.
