Equipment

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!

Brown lightweight Y-strap marked Fr. Offermann & Söhne Bensberg 1941 in excellent condition. This is a very hard to find lightbrown coloured example that would be very hard to upgrade!

Very nice late war simplified map case manufactured out of brown pebbled leather. The mapcase is complete with its carrying sling which is virtually always missing. The mapcase contains its original contents: A pencil, two period ball pens, a single Leutnant shoulder board and a clear mapcase insert dated 1939. Very nice untouched grouping!

Straight E-tool marked H 1944 in good used condition.

Luftwaffe brown mapcase dated 1939 named Unteroffizier Köster. Hard to find square shaped lid example.

Clear mapcase insert made of black leather.

A nice original late war tan Fallschirmjäger bandoleer in unissued condition. A typical example with many different materials used. A small damage to one of the flaps, other then that a nice used example with all press studs in intact condition allthough they are slightly corroded. This is a beautiful late war example!

Straight E-tool dated 1944 with carrier marked EUE/42 in good used condition. The carrier is marked EUE/42 indicating production by Otto Reichel, Jnh. Rudolf Fischer, Lederwarenfabrik, Lengefeld/Erzgebirgte. The E-tool itself is dated 1944. A nice set in good condition!

Straight black rubberised E-tool carrier marked gut 1943 indicating production by Walter Schuermann u. Co., Lederwarenfabrik, Bielefeld in 1943. There is a small damage on the upper right corner; otherwise it is in unissued condition. Beautiful and textbook example!

Tropical Y-strap in good used condition. The strap is not visually marked. This is a textbook example in good condition!

Unique opportunity to acquire the rarest of all gasmask canisters. This is probably a pre war trial run for the Kriegsmarine or Kradschützen or motorcycle troops. I have only seen one other of these gasmask canisters for sale; otherwise these are impossible to find. The canister is in good used condition with some small damages. The lid is loose which seems to be a factor on all of these. The gasmask canister retains its original long strap with leather reinforcement. These canisters are marked ‘Radium’ underneath which most probably indicates Radium Gummiwerke of Köln-Dellbrück.

Here is a topic containing wartime photographs of these canisters in use; https://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/forum/wehrmacht-uniforms-and-equipment/wehrmacht-equipment-forum/925773-anyone-recognise-this-type-of-gasmask-cannister

Textbook late war A-frame made from internal suspender straps. The A-frame is in very good condition complete with the factory mounted leather straps and the long leather straps for the messkit. The A-frame is in good condition without damages or modifications!

Stunning set of a World war one Reichwehr re-issued gasmask in canister. The set is matching and in excellent condition. Both the mask and the canister feature number 108. The canister is complete with the original straps. The filter is nicely marked Üb. which indicates it was used for training or practices. Impossible to upgrade World war one, Reichwehr re-issued set!

Nice original tall M38 gasmask canister in very good condition. The canister is complete with its original straps and features a nice rubberized gascape pouch as well. The canister itself is nicely marked Eschebach 1940. Nice example which could empty be easily displayed on a mannequin because of the low weight.

Nice original Gasplane in unissued/mint condition. This example is nicely marked elm 32/5/43 80g, elm indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Hard to find spare in this condition!

Rare green rubber gascape or Gasplane in very good condition. The gascape is nicely marked aqd which indicates production by a still unidentified manufacturer. Hard to find a loose gascape and not just the pouch, perfect to fill up the pouch with an original gascape! This is only the second time I have encountered a green rubber gascape, very hard to upgrade!

Excellent and rare bakelite salt container/dispenser. These are believed to be especially designed for use in tropical climates. The container is nicely marked amh/K, amh is a 3 letter for the manufacturer which is quite uncommon for bakelite items, K indicates the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. Nice and hard to find example!

Excellent bakelite pattern Stirnlampe or headlight in its original pouch in excellent condition. The head band which is still flexible and the cable are both in good and most likely working condition. The normally bakelite battery case is marked etl indicating production by Krieger u. Faudt, Berlin. The bakelite part on the Stirnlampe or headlamp is nicely marked ROKA which indicates production by Robert Karst, Berlin. The headlamp or Stirnlampe comes in its original storage pouch which is virtually always missing and not available as a spare! The pouch itself is in great condition and nicely marked CNN41 and WaA 584 which indicates most likely a subcontractor who produced these storage pouches for ROKA. These headlight are hard to find, let alone executed in undamaged bakelite with the original storage pouch!

Wehrmacht issue carbide container marked ejo which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. These containers were issued together with the Eintheitslaterne 37 to carry spare fuel (carbid). Virtually these containers always are in bad condition, broken or cracked, this example is in excellent condition!
