A very nice original two tone Normandy camouflage gasmask canister named to Konrad , Lg. Paris, L37114 . The canister still retains its bright camouflage colours and a Feldpostnumber inside the lid L37114 referring to the following units:

37114

The canister was found in Normandy after the battle. Peter Konrad was killed in action on 19.06.1944 in Neuilly, Normandy and is buried at La Cambe, Block 28 Row 9 Grave 349.

Overall a stunning one looker two-tone camouflage gasmask canister in used condition which is very hard to find!

A great original set of Luftwaffe Flak enlisted mens shoulder boards. The pair is a bit dusty but a nice set to complete a Fliegerbluse or field division smock with!

A stunning set, the binoculars are in good clear condition. They still retain the reticle in the right eyepiece and come with all the straps. The case is just as the binoculars in near mint condition. Very hard to upgrade set!

A very nice Sanitäter Kleines Feldbesteck. These small pouches with the basic medical tools where carried in the small and large medical pouches by medical staff in the Wehrmacht. The pouch is of a nice leather construction. Complete with the insert but without the tools which could be found separately. A great item to complete a Sanitäter pouch with!

A nice mint late war bayonet frog to match that one mint bayonet with. Hard to find a better one!

This sketchbook, first brought out in 1942, features many drawings and watercolours of the German artist Hans Liska. Liska was a artist born in 1907 and drafted into a Propagandakompanie in 1939. He illustrated his war and bundled his sketchbook in his Skitzenbuch. The book is a great pictorial reference to the war with many stunning and fascinating illustrations. This book is a great item for the collector with an eye for aesthetics or art. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking of this stunning bundle of wartime images!

A very nice M43 EM/NCO field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. The cap is nicely marked 0/2009/0004 which refers to “Almi” Unlform- u. Mützenfabrlk. lnh. Alfred Miss, Luxemburg , Herstellung v. Uniformen und Mützen aller Art dated 1944 and in size 57 which is a great average mannequin size. The cap has all the details that one would like to see on one of these textbook caps! The BeVo trapezoid is originally sewn to the piece and has never been removed from the piece. Finding a cap like this is very hard, especially in nice used condition with originally sewn insignia.

A very nice pioneer handsaw in good used condition made by Marke Steigo in 1941 and etched by a veteran as a bringback. The brown leather scabbard is nicely marked  Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel Cottbus 1940. The saw is in good condition with all the teeth intact. The saw still functions great! The handle is missing a small portion of the wood but this is something I see at most of these pioneer saws. I think it has to do with the bayonet is positioned direct next to it on the equipment belt. This pioneer saw comes with the textbook brown leather scabbard dated 1940. The saw would make a awesome addition to a pioneer display and is really in very good condition!

Original 1943 dated M1 carbine hip holster. This holster was designed so the wearer could wear the M1 carbine on the hip. Only produced in small numbers it was never put in large scale production. This holster was only produced in 1943 by JQMD. The holster is in mint unissued condition!

A super rare accessory for the M1 Carbine enthousiast!

A very nice Petrix 679 with original box in very good condition. The Petrix 679 has a blue filter.

A very nice torch that would be very hard to upgrade!

A unique piece, a Prussian world war one belt buckle that has been remade into a lighter. A nice display piece or “pocket litter”.

A great original set of shoulder boards intended for a Soldat or Grenadier (EM) in a Infanterie or Grenadier unit. The set is slightly mismatched but found and worn together. A nice set in very good used condition.

A very nice condition late war M42 Tuchmantel in unissued condition. The mantel is a rare variation made from captured Italian wool. Great for a Battle of the Bulge mannequin. The mantel has a few moth nips here and there but looks very fresh and mint. Very hard to find and upgrade.

A set of three bakelite spare charge containers. These containers contained spare charges for different kinds of mortars. These where issued and carried in the 8cm ammunition boxes. The bakelite containers are nicely dated 1944.

 

A rare pair of French prewar Y-straps reworked for use in the Wehrmacht. These Y-straps can sometimes be seen on original pictures, easily identified through the riveted ends near the O-ring on the back. These Y-straps are rare to find in very good condition like this. This is the second pair I’ve ever encountered!
A rare pair in very good condition, a great addition for the specialized equipment collector!

A very nice 1934 dated M1910 Kochgeschirr in near mint condition.

A nice late war Tool pouch for the MG34 and MG42 machinegun. It is made out of the late war Pressstoff material and is in good condition with all internal fittings and leather straps. The leather is nice and supple and the Pressstoff is nice in colour. A rare late war pouch in good, lightly used condition!

A very rare “Carbon Overprint” zeltbahn in very good condition. The zeltbahn still retains its bright and vibrant colours. It is nicely marked 0-0150-0058 which refers to a certain producer in Cottbus, Brandenburg. It is dated 1945. It has two small repairs an is missing one grommet. It’s complete with most if not all the originally sewn buttons. After the capitulation of the Italian army in 1943 their camouflage printing rollers and uniform/equipment stocks where captured and brought back to Germany. It was then that the first Zeltbahnen of captured Italian camouflage material (Telo Mimetico) where produced. Also some experiments where done combining Telo Mimetico with Splittertarnmuster. This is known to collectors as carbon overprint and consists of a base of the brown base colour Telo Mimetico printed in carbon ink overprinted with Splittertarnmuster. This is a extremely rare variation intended to camouflage against infrared light.

This tall, pre war model was most probably made and used by the Waffen-SS. Nicely marked RZM M6/2/40 and HRE indicate production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1940. The usual prewar political models for the Hitlerjugend, Allgemeine-SS and SA where finished in a black paint. This one, being produced in Olive paint was most probably produced and used by the Waffen-SS as can be seen on many wartime pictures. Nice condition!
