This catalogue offers a wide selection of nearly 2,000 items. In the area of art objects, the following pieces deserve special attention: a German iron-mounted ship's treasure chest from the 16th century (Euro 4,500), a silver-plated travelling table setting of the Counts von Sandizell, South German, ca. 1820 (Euro 7,500) and a German singing bird automaton box with a moving hummingbird, German, ca. 1900 (Euro 1,400).
Prominent among the oriental and far-eastern arms are an Ottoman fire-gilded chanfron from the 16th century (Euro 7,000), an extremely rare Ottoman wheellock carbine from 1650, with only very few examples anywhere in the world (Euro 4,000), a gold-inlaid kilij with rhinoceros horn grip scales from the 19th century (Euro 6,500), a Japanese katana from around 1500 (Euro 4,500) and a Japanese suit of armour from the middle to late Edo period (Euro 6,500).
Among the antiquities is a remarkable variety of bronze helmets, including a Chalkidian Type III, 4th century BC (Euro 15,000), an Apulian bell krater, ca. 340 BC (Euro 5,000) and a middle European, Bronze Age sword, ca. 1100 BC (Euro 4,000).
Collectors of helmets and armour will be interested in a rare burgonet from the Munich Town Guards from around 1510 (Euro 7,500), a German/Flemish cuirassier burgonet from around 1620 (Euro 5,000), a Nuremberg coat of mail from the 15th century (Euro 7,000), and the Innsbruck suit of armour for a man at arms from 1560 by Paul Meitinger (Euro 8,000).

A comprehensive offer of some 300 edged weapons rounds off the catalogue. One of the most sensational is a fancy Saxon small sword with a rock crystal hilt from around 1650 (Euro 9,500), but there are many other outstanding objects, like for example, an incredibly well preserved south German dagger from 1400 (Euro 3,500), a very beautiful gold-plated dagger scabbard from the 16th century (Euro 1,800), a Frankish/Nordic sword from the 9th century AD (Euro 10,000), a Swiss sword from around 1500 (Euro 8,000), a two-handed flamberge, German around 1600 (Euro 7,000), a Pappenheimer rapier from around 1630 (Euro 5,500) as well as a fancy southern German Hirschfänger with a richly carved grip of whale ivory (Euro 6,500).
