Equipment

Rare cased Luftwaffe Klemmlängenmesser FL68864 für Sprengnietung in excellent condition. This tool was used together to build aircraft parts. This tool was used measuring the material prior to riveting. The method for producing a lot of Luftwaffe airplanes was with Sprengnieten; this is a hollow, explosive rivet which was ignited to expand and fasten the rivet. Hard to find tool!

Textbook late war manufactured webbing Y-straps in very good 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. Very nice late war Y-straps which would be hard to upgrade!

Rare, choice tall M38 gasmask with sharp edge, simplified lens retainer and red painted interior. The canister retains up to 95% of its original factory paint and original straps with leather reinforcements. The canister is a late war simplified example with a sharp edged bottom, simplified lens retainer without spring and a complete red painted inside sleeve. The lens container shows a wartime name label named Soldat Otto Hoffmann, Sanitäts-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Abteilung 5. A very rare example in excellent condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

Textbook pre war M30 gasmask which was modified to the M38 type with the addition of the externally fitted second pattern exhale valve.

A very rare tropical Gasplane in unissued/mint condition. The gasplane is nicely marked pcd. Op indicates Oppanol : a transparent versatile polymer, impervious to water and many different gases and resistant to chemicals. (Tp/Ark) indicates these where made for Tropical or Arctic use. One of the rarest gascapes to find!

Rare early pattern Luftwaffe issue wrist compass Armkompass LK10. This is the rare and early model which was manufactured prior to the AK39 pattern. The compass is in good and working condition with its often missing original strap. The base material of the compass is in good, clear condition but sadly the back features a crack. Rare and desirable Armkompass!

Clear mapcase insert in good used condition. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth transparent surface to keep the maps unmarked. This example is manufactured out of two different kinds of leather which gives it an aesthetic look. This example is nicely marked R. Erhardt, Poessneck 1938.

Excellent 3rd pattern Luftwaffe navigation disc or Dreieckrechner DR3 Tp. This example is nicely marked FL. 23 825, gwr, Jan. 1944. The 3 letter code gwr indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in January 1944. This is the rare 3rd pattern which is made out of yellow tinted illuminating synthetic resin material for clear view at night flying and/or low visibility, same idea as with the Luftwaffe issued flight maps. These navigation computers were used by Luftwaffe pilots in almost every German aircraft such as the Me109, Fw190, Me262, He-111, Do-217, Ju-88 and almost all others! Excellent and very rare Dreieckrechner DR3 Tp in very good condition which would be hard to upgrade!

Textbook Luftwaffe issue type DR2 navigator disc or Dreieckrechner in very good and functional Condition. These 15cm discs where necessary for Luftwaffe aircrew to navigate with maps and coordinates. This example is manufactured by Dennert & Pape, Hamburg-Altona in September 1942.

Textbook tall M38 gasmask in complete condition. Typical numbered example with matching rubber mask. The canister retains its spring, cleaning cloth, spare glasses, both marked straps ánd its leather reinforcements. Hard to upgrade.

Short handled wirecutters in good used condition.

Gascape marked lb 42 40/5 80 Mo in good used condition. Hard to find spare.

Very nice Luftwaffe pattern/issue clothing bag in very good condition. The bag has a small damages as can be seen in the pictures. The bag is nicely marked with a RBNr. which is sadly not completely readable. The clothing bag is post war re stocked by the Czech army and ink stamped. Nice example!

Excellent and extremely rare set of side pouches for combat pioneers. The bag features extremely rare and hardly ever encountered dark green coarse webbing straps. These straps have only been encountered at these combat pioneer pouches, or canteens as far as my knowledge goes. All by all equipment which features this dark green coarse webbing is extremely rare and highly sought after by collectors. The set is in very good condition, it has one small repair and the long back straps has been reattached at some point. One of the two pouches features an ink stamp from postwar Czech storage, but these bags definitely belong to each other. The atypical construction of this pouch with a range of different materials including the dark green coarse webbing makes this set impossible to upgrade. For sure one of the best sets of combat pioneer pouches I have ever offered!

Rare Juncker 88 A-1 right wing flaps in as found condition. This large wing part measuring 60×150 cm was found in Bouillon, France and kept during and after the war. The piece still retains its full original paint finish and data tag. The data plate reads;

Arado-Flugzeugwerke G.m.b.H. Lizenz: Junkers, Dessau.

Serie Ju 88 A-1 No 1244
Zeichn. 8. 88. 302
F. M. 22. 11. 40

The part comes with a booklet by the historical community of the town of Bouillon with this piece well photographed and documented with the name of the original finder which is the provenance of the piece.

This is a very nice and decorative piece for any Luftwaffe collector and would be hard to find such a nice big display piece in this, untouched condition. As the part is big as is; I can and will not ship it. Meeting for a pickup is a must. See the first photo for scale; this is a impressive centrepiece to any mancave!

Textbook leather straight E-tool carrier in good used condition. Pre war example which is hard to find!

Very nice pre war brown leather coloured mapcase in good, used condition. The mapcase is nicely marked Leo schmidt, München 1938. The mapcase still retains its original brass pair of calipers inside one of the pencil holders. Nice pre war mapcase!
