The Treasure Hunt of an Antique Dealer

Chapter 317: Glory of the Imperial Marshal

The ordinary real gold and silver could no longer make Zhang Nan feel bright, but he was really attracted by the things in the wooden box.

Because it is really beautiful and extremely rare!

Next to Nicole blurted out: "Marshal Rod!"

"Marshal Rod?"

Just now both Zach and Davis went as porters. Xiang Weirong planned to move several boxes containing MG42 machine guns in order to make the aisle looser. As a result, he felt that one of the boxes had a weight problem as soon as he got started.

Lighter.

As soon as I opened it, I found a long box with a very exquisite workmanship and the emblem of the eagle emblem of the Third Reich.

When I opened it again, it was covered with velvet, and two very delicately crafted sticks, one long and one short, were sunken on it, especially the short one inlaid with gold and silver, which was extremely delicate, and then took it over for Zhang Nan to take a look.

Zhang Nan put on his gloves again and took off just to write. Then he picked up the short one and said, "Brother-in-law, this is the scepter of the marshals of the Third Reich. This one is red, and it should be the field marshal's. "

It's really exquisite!

It's not surprising that Xiang Weirong didn't know the German Marshal's scepter. Even if he imported some World War II movies from some Eastern European countries that are friendly with China in the past few years, there should be very few scenes showing this stuff.

Even if there is a "marshal" dangling with an imitation in his hand, the movie will not introduce what this "stick" is and what is its use...

There are only a few Chinese people outside of work. The education that everyone has received earlier, and now that they can come into contact with people and things related to the West, can’t beat this marshal’s stick again!

No one can recognize it, just feel that it should be more important.

It is now in the 1980s. Knowing that my brother-in-law is not clear about the mystery, Zhang Nan said: "This thing originated in ancient Rome more than two thousand years ago. This short and thick cylinder was once the feast of the Roman generals.

At that time, a section of wood was hollowed out, and a sheepskin tube was also used, and the written order was placed in it, and after it was sealed, the messenger was sent around.

When Krasu suppressed the Spartacus Uprising, the design of this decree became unique and the workmanship became more and more refined, inlaid with metal, animal skins and precious stones.

At that time, every Roman general would think of a way to make his own feast different, not only easy to distinguish, but also can take the opportunity to show off.

The tradition of the Roman Legion 2,000 years ago has been passed on to the Nazi Third Reich. During this long period of time, the communication function of the feast was replaced by modern communication methods, and the tube used in ancient Rome was also transformed into a marshal's rod.

I remember that the French marshals under Napoleon and the British marshals during and before World War II also had this marshal scepter.

To put it bluntly, this thing is used to symbolize the responsibility and authority of the marshal, and it is also very imposing in his hand. "

Zhang Nan said, still making gestures in his hand, and learning the actions of the Third Reich marshals in the documentary, trying to hold the scepter in greeting.

"If you can't learn, you don't have that smell without the skin."

Without the aura of a superior, it feels a bit nondescript to play with this.

Xiang Weirong also took it, and tried it in his hand: it's very heavy, because the material made of this thing is basically precious metal, with a layer of red gold velvet wrapped in the middle.

"rare?"

Zhang Nan nodded, "There were very few at the beginning, except for the fat man Goering, it seems that no marshal has a few scepters.

Between 1935 and 1945, Germany was promoted 19 field marshals, five air marshals, and two navy marshals.

In July 1940, Hitler promoted Goering to the rank of Marshal of the Reich, with a higher rank than other Marshals of the German army.

The high-level features issued by this thing plus the small number of honorees are all individually made in a customized manner. The main materials are inlaid with precious metals and gems. The length is 49.5 cm and the cross-sectional diameter is 3.4 cm. Use color as a distinction.

The color of the field marshal's rod is red, the color of the navy marshal's rod is sea blue, the air force is azure blue, and the main color of the imperial marshal's rod unique to Fat Goring is white.

There will be two Marshal Rods of Goring, and a Marshal Rod of Keitel should also be in the United States. It is said that the Soviet Union also preserved one, but it is not known who originally owned it.

The whole world currently knows those four roots, this should be the fifth root that was discovered! "

As soon as Zhang Nan finished speaking, Nicole added a sentence on the side: "Usually 20 to 24 Nazi eagles and 20 to 24 iron crosses are inlaid in the middle of the marshal's rod. On the lower part of the metal shaft near the two ends, there are The signature of the grantee, the date of grant, and the signature of Hitler, the Nazi head of state."

Xiang Weirong listened to the first half and just wanted to count how many eagle emblems there were. After hearing the second half, he simply passed the scepter to Nicole.

As soon as Nicole took it, she couldn't help but said: "It's really a bit heavy!"

It is really exquisite. The end face of one end of the octagonal head is inlaid with a gold army eagle logo embossed, surrounded by patterns.

Nicole read the owner's name: "Otto Moritz-Walter-Model."

"Hitler's firefighter, I remember he should have committed suicide."

Zhang Nan is a little uncertain.

On the side, Jenny’s historiography of World War II is obviously very good, saying: "It was a suicide, and it was written in American textbooks. Because the Ruhr campaign was the main battle of the US military, it was written very clearly.

Model committed suicide after being defeated on April 21. Before that, he violated Hitler's order and failed to completely blow up the Ruhr Industrial Zone according to the order. He was criticized as a traitor by Goebbels' propaganda machine.

However, it is said that Hitler, after learning that his former confidant committed Model to suicide, said: If Model can do it, then so can I.

On April 30, 9 days later, Hitler committed suicide with a gun.

I have also watched a real-life documentary about Mordel during World War II. Among the 19 German field marshals, he should be the most focused on appearance. The most impressive thing is that he likes to stand on a convertible Mercedes Benz during the military parade, lift a sharply polished riding boot on the back of the front seat and then raise his hand to salute, looking very energetic.

As for why his marshal rod appeared here, maybe he had left things in Berchtesgaden before, and there should be his residence here. When hiding at the end, those subordinates probably wanted to keep some good luck for the defensive master, or simply didn't want the allies to capture the marshal's scepter, which was brought into the mine.

However, it is estimated that it will always be a mystery. "

After Jenny took out another longer "stick" from the box, she gestured with her in her hand, "It's like this."

She also learned Mordel's style~www.wuxiaspot.com~This is also a scepter?"

Xiang Weirong figured it out, but the appearance of the two "sticks" was quite different: the longer one was much thinner, and it was a bit similar to a horse whip.

Nicole heard it and said, "This is a little stick.

Compared with the official marshal staff, the German marshals also held a simpler and lighter marshal staff.

The difference between the marshal rod and the scepter generally lies in the different occasions: the scepter is used for official large-scale and grand ceremonies and activities; usually only the scepter is held, usually in military occasions, general privates, and frontline command vehicles. use. "

Saying that Nicole took the stick in Jenny's hand, gestured for the length, and said: "The length of the stick is 78.5 cm, and the length of the black leather stick is 62 cm. It is decorated with German black, white and red. Belt. Look at this thinner end with a silver toe cap, and a silver handle at the other end. The top is decorated with round petals. The lower part of the hand-held end is also engraved with the name and time of the marshal awarded to the stick. "

After speaking, he looked at the end: "The handle part is also inlaid with Nazi eagle emblems and iron cross reliefs, which are distinguished by the eagle emblems of various military services. This stick belongs to Mordel.

Alan, can have a set of marshal rods and scepters owned by the same person in the Third Reich, you are the only one in the world. "
