Equipment

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!

Short gasmask canister strap in good condition.

Late war tall M38 gasmask canister set with ribbed bottom. This is a nice and rare variant where the bottom sheet of the canister was pressed out of the ribbed sheet material destined for the sides. Nice complete set with a nice set of straps!

Carrying strap marked Otto Sindel Berlin 1940 in excellent condition. These straps are said to be worn on binocular cases but I believe they were initially intended to carry bugles. Nice example!

Tropical A-frame with bag in good used condition. The A-frame is a typical full webbing example with a period added A-frame bag. The A-frame is in full webbing construction and complete with all three straps. The bag is a early example with brown leather and aluminium rivets. The A-frame is in good used condition and would be a nice addition to a combat mannequin.

Excellent late war manufactured M31 breadbag in unissued condition. Typical late war construction with a nice mixture of materials. Choice late war example!

Gebirgsjäger equipment bag with green label in good condition.

Blue rucksack with gasmask canister strap parts marked ebd 44 in good used condition. This bag is one of the last examples made for the Wehrmacht or most probably made in the direct post war period for use with POW’s. I have never seen this variant before and in my opinion it fits right in the late war equipment collection!

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!

Very nice textbook original gascape complete with its original pouch. This set is in very good, most likely unissued condition, The paper label on the gascape itself is still partially present. Very nice example!

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!

Rubberized gascape pouch with nice variant strap loops on the back.

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!

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.
