Equipment

Textbook late war manufactured M31 pattern breadbag strap in excellent, most likely unissued condition. The breadbag strap is nicely and clearly visible marked with RBNr. 0/0367/0024. Typical late war construction and use of materials. Very nice example!

Rare blue Luftwaffe A-frame in good used condition. The A-frame is a early blue example which was issued with the Luftwaffe blue Y-straps with auxiliary straps and D-rings. Not to be confused with its Heer counterparts. These A-frames were only produced for a short time with the blue Luftwaffe tropical uniforms. After this it was probably reissued for the Heer. This is a hard to find variant in good used condition!

Short pre war strap for the M38 gasmask canister in excellent condition.

Short pre war strap for the M38 gasmask canister in excellent condition with its original leather reinforcement.

Beautiful short M38 gasmask canister in spray painted blue grey camouflage. This is a very nice pre war short canister in excellent condition dated 1937. The canister retains spare lenses and a very nice A1B gasmask with a 1937 dated filter. The straps are original to the canister. The short strap looks to be marked. The long rayon strap has a leather end point and has one period repair. On top of the pre war green paint there is a neatly period spray painted blue grey camouflage finish typical for Luftwaffe troops. The blue paint shows the green underneath at some spots and is also covered with large hand applied field grey spots as camouflage. The gasmask is a excellent example retaining up to 90% of its original paint and would be very hard to upgrade!

Tall M38 gasmask canister set in good worn condition. The canister retains its original leather tipped straps and mask. Nice matching set in good worn condition!

A nice wartime torch in good used condition. Rare variant in blue paint. Nice personal effect, awesome on a mannequin!

Heer map plotting board or Kartenbrett with marked maps in good used condition. The map board still contains its original maps that were found together. The maps mostly show Belgium and northern France. The maps are Troyes and Nancy, Mezieres and Longwy, Reims-Sens, Darmstadt. The maps are all marked with tactical markings showing the route taken by a unit entering first Belgium then northern France. In my opinion by following the route a individual unit can be assigned to the set. This is a nice set for further research and complete with its original maps attributible to the 1940 campaign!

Pioneer pouches marked Wien in unissued condition. The pouches have the uncommon webbing closing straps with square metal points. The gasmask section is lined in grey rubber. The locking closures are backed with a number of different backing materials. The central connecting strap is factory attatched as are the belt loops. The press studs are not the typical Prym examples but a variant which is only rarely seen on German equipment. All of the press studs are functional and are backed with like all other fittings. The pouches are unissued and in a rare brown canvas, in my opinion rather early then late. Unlike the later variants with pointed metal points this is a very hard to find matching pair!

Excellent late war M38 gasmask with tall canister. The canister is complete with both its short and long carrying strap. Very nice late war black rubber mask with blue painted hardware! Nice untouched set!

Tall M38 gasmask canister set in three-tone camouflage. This is a textbook example of a tall M38 gasmask canister which was period repainted in a typical three-tone ‘normandy’ camouflage paint. The canister retains its straps, mask, spare lenses and filter. The canister retains up to 80% of its period applied camouflage paint. This is a hard to find example, easily matched with a helmet in the same pattern!

Short gasmask canister strap in good condition. Nice rayon strap with leather reinforced tip. Sadly the rayon fabric is a bit damaged.

Textbook late war matching set of dark grey coloured gasmask canister straps with rubberized or rubber reinforced point. The straps are nicely marked ebd 44 which indicates production Patra A.-G., Erzeugung techn. Gummiwaren, Napajedl/Mähren. These straps are rare to find as a marching set. Hard to upgrade set!

Rare carrying bag for the long handled wire cutters marked G. Genschow Berlin 1941 in excellent condition. This is a hard to find carrying bag for pioneer troops. You will find the wire cutters but you won’t find the bag separately!

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg in very good condition. The tent peg is nicely marked L&F 35 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer 1935. Nice example!

Nice set of three matching green painted steel tent pegs in very good condition. The tent pegs are all nicely marked with a manufacturers logo/mark; MSS 41, which indicates a still unknown manufacturer. Virtually seen these steel tent pegs are way harder to find than the aluminium examples. The pegs are original with over 95% of the green factory finish. Nice set!

Pre war set of three matching aluminium tent pegs in very good condition. The tent pegs are nicely marked GA 38 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in 1938. All pegs are original and complete with its factory attached cord!
