Marine-Chefingenieur - Kaserliche Marine official's "Zweispitz" in box


Description
Untouched grouping to a naval official and Marine-Chefingenieur serving in both, the Kaiserliche Marine and Kriegsmarine for several decades. He was a 1870/71 Franco-Prussian War Veteran and part of the China Campaign. He served in WW1 and saw service as a Kriegsmarine officer after 1935. He must have been serving for over 40 years. 
This grouping was sold to a local antique store by his great-grandson. The antique store owner has consigned the grouping to us. It has never been available on the market so far.
There are documents available which however the family did not want to sell at the moment. Name as well as additional service time documents might be available in near future.
Please see other lots at auction.
