Equipment

Rare Panzer school training and recognition wooden Sd. Kfz. 171 Panther Ausf. This model once was used in the barracks of a Panzer school where it was used to indicate armor thickness, maneuverability and maintenance. This model is fully handcrafted out of wood with several small moving parts. The machingegun rotates in its ball-turret, as does the large turret with the main gun elevating. The driver viewport can be opened or closed. The front fenders can be tilted upwards. The wheels are all moving and the tracks are intact. One of the two rear crew stowage compartments on the rear has been professionally restored. The original factory tan paint is fully remaining. Some models were made with paper labels underneath or with stamped markings of it being army property. The Panzerkampfwagen VI Panther Ausf. A is a iconic piece that would be a centre piece in any Panzer collection. The Panther retains most of its original details, wheels and accessories. This example is a double out of my personal collection. Most of these are incomplete or classed as scrap iron Panzer wrecks; this one is ready for display. Out of all the Panzer recognition models this is probably the most sought after model that would nicely display with Panzer Wraps or Panzerkampfabzeichen!

I can ship this piece in a good, sturdy double layer box with the turret removed from the hull. I will take great care if I do but pickup is an option.

This is a beautiful set consisting of a M38 communications gasmask with a tall canister. These communications gasmask are rare and were used by Küstenartillerie personnel. The canister retains its original straps with leather reinforcements. This is a very rare set in excellent and complete condition.

Late war tall M38 gasmask set with simplified canister in excellent condition. Beautiful canister with rubber tipped straps. The closing latch is a simplified stamped steel example. The mask is a textbook late war example with blue parts. Beautiful near mint set!

Tall M38 gasmask set named E. Heinen. The canister is dated 1942, the M38 mask is a cloth size 1 with filter. A nice matching set!

Luftwaffe FL 30154-2 life preserver by Dräger in used condition. This life preserver is complete with the empty air bottle. The vest was period modified with the addition of leather waist strap for the otherwise webbing tape which was easily damaged. The vest is in good used condition and nice for a flight mannequin!

No shipping outside of Europe due to the airbottle!

Late war rucksack marked 0/0836/0029. Nice variant late war rucksack made from screen printed canvas. Mint piece.

Unissued Gebirgsjäger rucksack marked 0/0836/0029 in excellent condition. The rucksack is complete with its waist strap but lacks the connector straps to the K98 pouches but these could easily be added. It is quite difficult to find these in unissued condition with the always missing waist strap!

Luftwaffe tropical rucksack straps named Louis Berthommier. Even though they are just the straps, they are a hard to find spare. Often reworked to Y-straps by less scrupulent men. Can be displayed as is, or used to attatch to a radio, rucksack or Essenträger for display.

Unissued Heer tornister marked Franz Brehme, Walsrode 1943. This is a mint example of a late war Tornister rucksack with all straps. It is really hard to find a unissued example of these rucksacks as most if not all of these saw use during and post world war two. Very hard to find in this condition!

Late war M31 breadbag strap named Krebs in excellent condition. Nice variant with a central in stead of two side seams.

Late war M31 breadbag strap marked RB-Nr. 0/0850/0345 indicating it was produced in Stadt- u. Landkreis München. The strap is unissued condition.

Early M31 breadbag strap dated 1936 with unit markings to 1. Abteilung, 6. Batterie Artillerie Regiment 50. This unit first served in Poland with Artillerie Regiment 105 and then was attached to the IV. Armeekorps. From 12 to 14.5.40 it was with the 4. Panzerdivision in the Dutch, Belgian and French campaign. Nice example!
