Personal so-called "Zweispitz" of Admiral Günther Lütjens (1889 - 1941), commander of battleship B I S M A R C K, which was sunk on 27. May 1941.
Lütjens daughter gave this Zweispitz as a present to a young collector about 50 years ago. She worked as a doctor in a hospital. The mother of this young collector was a colleague of Mrs. Lütjens who wanted to make this boy happy. The young collector is now over 60 years old and will provide a signed statement confirming the provenience of this Zweispitz to the winner of this unique piece of history.
