We are honored to present The Sentinel Collection, an unprecedented auction event offering a journey through the defining conflicts of the 20th century. This collection features items of immense historical gravity, from the personal archives of Third Reich figures, including a hand-signed Adolf Hitler postcard from an SS officer's estate, to artifacts from the mud-soaked trenches of the Meuse-Argonne and the skies over the Western Front. Explore the birth of American air power with relics from the 1st Pursuit Group, the tragic story of Quentin Roosevelt, and the tactical genius of German aces like Oswald Boelcke. The collection chronicles the rise and fall of Nazi Germany, from the ideological core of the SS and the proving grounds of the Condor Legion to the culmination of the Blitzkrieg at Dunkirk and the strategic endgame at the Potsdam Conference. It also follows the brutal island-hopping campaign in the Pacific, with artifacts from the invasion of Morotai and the B-29 Superfortress wing on Tinian that launched the atomic age.   

Beyond the battlefields, The Sentinel Collection offers treasures from other distinguished collecting fields. Featured is a magnificent 18th-century Daisho Mitokoromono set by the master samurai craftsman Yanagawa Naomasa, a cornerstone of Japanese artistry. For comic enthusiasts, we present an exceptionally rare Golden Age one-shot,  Spark Man Comics #1 from 1945, a notoriously difficult book to acquire. The auction also includes a wide array of individual soldier stories, from the ubiquitous Cattaraugus 225Q fighting knife to the poignant history of a sailor killed in a kamikaze attack off Okinawa. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for discerning collectors, historians, and institutions to acquire not just an object, but to become the custodian of its legacy. History awaits its next guardian.
