Textbook, mint late war straight E-tool carrier made from Pressstoff. Textbook late war construction!

A nice original Presstoff E-tool carrier in very good condition. The leather is supple and it can easily be displayed on a mannequin. The carrier is marked but this is sadly not clearly readable. Textbook mid- to late war variation made out of Ersatzmaterial!

Very nice privately purchased high quality map case which was often preferred by officers. There are multiple original photographs which shows this pattern of map case in use. These feature the same type of closing clasp as the late war pattern map cases. Nice example especially for an officers display!

This piece was a part of the late Nick Komiya collection who was a very knowledgeable Japanese collector who wrote many interesting articles on Warrelics and Wehrmacht Awards forum. The item sold here is a part of his article here. A nice and rare example from a well known and curated collection!

 

Tall 1942 dated M38 gasmask canister in spray painted three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage pattern. Textbook early and short example in its original period applied camouflage pattern. The canister is complete with its gasmask but without filter. The canister is a rare variant with a sharp bottom edge. The canister retains up to 90% of its period applied camouflage paint. Hard to find, original example in a stunning and vibrant camouflage pattern!

Textbook M38 gasmask in tall canister in very good condition. The canister and the mask belong together and are both marked the same way with number 71 by the original owner. The mask does not have the filter with it. The inside of the lid features a label which names the set to Heinrich Hoffman and the bottom features Feldpostnummer L55629. It is hard to find a real matching and named set like this!

Rare strap for pulling sleds, carts, artillery pieces and so on. It is exactly how I found it, rolled up as it would have been issued. I have not unrolled it but it is complete.
