WWI & WWII US Navy Officers Grouping – Lt Commander Herbert P Bearce – Inscribed US Navy Officers Sword – Rare
Grouping to Herbert P Bearce It seems Bearce did considerable travelling to South America in the period after the First World War, his passports are filled with entries, as well as his Mothers and his Wife. Bearce served in WWI in the US Navy, but by 1930 he would join the US Cavalry as a Captain, by the end of WWII he was in the Pacific but this time back in the US Navy. Quite an unusual career, he had a large family with a member with his wife who he met in South America. I have found his name on various ancestry records, but one mentioned 1941 he is stationed in the US Navy in Washington DC. But another shows that in 1925 he was unboard the USS Utah. His wife, child of Louise Osbaldeston VESLY, namely an Alexandra DE VESELY. Alexandra seems to have married a Herbert Potter BEARCE, and in 1937 they announced the birth of a son in the New York Times. The child is described in the birth announcement as a “great-grandson of the late Lord Edwin Osbaldeston, surgeon to Queen Victoria“.. (It also describes Alexandra as “the former Miss Alexandra de Vesely of Vienna” – not clear whether this is Vienna, N.Y. or the Austrian Vienna). Most of the paperwork included are in relation to Alexandra, and their children. Bearce lost a Son in the Vietnam War (Larned Vesely “Reb” Bearce) a Major in the USMC, he was one of the last casualties of the Vietnam War. The letter informing his parents is in the grouping. See more here: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/143261185/larned-vesely-bearce Bearce finished a book published shortly after the death of his son, titled, Magic of the Mind (See Photos). His USN Naval Officers Dress Sword, Belt and Hanger are in good collecting condition, the sword is inscribed with his name, and his dress tunic displays a wonderful hand made insignia of the USN. The tunic is named on the collar to Bearce. Minimal damage, a few missing buttons. An interesting grouping, and surely worth further research.

WWII German M40 Helmet – Textured Camo Helmet – Complete with Untouched Liner
This helmet seems to have been repainted with texture during the war, ghosting of a decal and a complete liner with chin strap complete this. Please note: The light in the images is a bit brighter in order to see the Camo and details, it is a bit darker in hand. A nice solid Combat Veteran, which the liner was never removed or flipped. Sadly we are unable to see any markings due to the textured Camo thickness.

An Interesting little grouping to Johann Steigerwald, Who served with Infanterie Regiment Nr 40 on both the Eastern and Western Front during World War One. Interestingly he fought at the battle of Riga in Latvia and earns the Iron Cross Second Class, and in 1918 he was captured in Soissons, France he was released in September 1919. During the Third Reich he was issued a Wehrpass which confirms his service in WW1. Could make a really nice research project.
