Slavko Kvaternik served as General Staff Officer of the royal-imperial army, then as commander of the General Staff in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croatians and Slovenes after WWI. Active in the Ustasha Movement, he proclaimed the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) in Zagreb on 10 April 1941, four days after the occupation of the Wehrmacht. Ante Pavelic became State Leader of Croatia and appointed Kvaternik as Marshal and Commander-in-Chief of the Croatian Armed Forces. In 1942, there was a rift between Pavelic and Kvaternik, who was sent into exile in Austria. In 1946, Kvaternik was extradited to Yugoslavia, where he was condemned to death and subsequently executed by firing squad in Zagreb in 1947.
Extremely rare find. A significant object from recent Croatian history. See Hermann Historica, 9 October 2008, auction 56, lot 681.
