Rare Waffen-SS jerrycan by Sandrik in used as found condition. The Jerrycan is a typical example with the large SS runes stamped in the left body of the canister. The Jerrycan still retains a large portion of its original factory underneath the green field repaint.

Textbook original A-frame in good, used condition. The A-frame features all the original straps and is in untouched condition. All parts are still functional. One loop of the messkit strap is torn. Nice untouched example!

Late war unmarked M44 Sturmgepäck/Rucksack. This example is in mint, most likely unissued condition and the two front straps are still really supple. The D-hooks on the back are late war 175 variants which is a nice typical detail. Perfect example!

Textbook Late war breadbag in unissued condition. Typical example in olive green material with smooth blackened leather. The D-rings are painted in Graublau.

Bakelite carbide lantern in good condition. Complete with its original carrying hook.

Textbook late war manufactured webbing Y-straps in excellent, most likely unissued condition. The front straps are manufactured out of webbing and the back strap is manufactured out of leather, a typical late war mixture of materials. The back strap features a so-called late war simplified skeleton hook and the strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0390/0204. Perfect late war Y-straps which would be impossible to upgrade!

Textbook early war short gasmask strap in used condition.

Rubberized gascape pouch with press stud closure in unissued condition. The gascape pouch is in unissued and uncleaned condition. The pouch shows a lot of original talc powder which was used for long term storage. I have a small quantity of these gascape pouches in stock; the price is naturally for one and I will always pick out a nice example. There are several different maker markings but all are made of rubber and have a press stud closing method. The pouches can be a bit wrinkled but could easily be cleaned with a damp cloth or displayed as is. Nice unissued example!

The pouches can be a bit wrinkled but could easily be cleaned with a damp cloth or displayed as is. Nice unissued example!

Tall M38 gasmask canister in good condition with green rubber gasmask. There is a small tear in the gasmask which I have photographed. The canister is in good complete condition and would be hard to upgrade!

Complete tall M38 gasmask canister in excellent complete condition. Nice early set!

Rare late war straight E-tool carrier manufactured entirely out of brown coloured leather. The carrier is in very good, used condition and all loops and straps are supple and functional. The carrier is nicely marked dkk 44 which indicates production by Friedrich Offermann u. Söhne, Lederwarenfabrik, Bensberg in 1944. Excellent brown leather example which is unique because I have never seen another one like it!

Excellent folding E-tool in good, used condition. The E-tool is nicely marked dbp which indicates a still unknown manufacturer. Sadly the handle is bend as can be clearly seen. Nice example which are becoming harder to find!

Textbook pre war issue straight E-tool in very good condition. The entrenching tool is in very good condition with minor surface rust. This example is nicely marked KKK 1936! Impossible to upgrade early example!

Very nice “tropical” M31 breadbag in good condition. This breadbag is most likely made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the (BEF) British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent this British equipment to Litzmannstadt for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Y-straps, A-frames and rucksacks are a few of the items made in Litzmannstadt. Very nice original M31 breadbag!

Rare M31 Zeltbahn dated 1930 named Tann 1.J.R. 51 indicating Infanterie Regiment 51. Rare, first run production M31 Zeltbahn in used condition. The Zeltbahn is a rare early variant in the first year of production, a trial run before the denomination M31. The Zeltbahn has many period repairs and a few unit markings and a nice nametag. Very hard to find 1930 dated variant which was produced before the Zeltbahn was officially introduced in the Wehrmacht!

Late war Heer u. Waffen-SS breadbag in excellent condition!

Field kitchen blue enamel coffee container in good condition. Hard to find variant in blue enamel!
