Equipment

Very nice short canister as intended to carry the gasmask. The canister is in very good condition and features a lot of its factory applied paint. The canister still retains its short hook strap and the long carrying strap. This is a nice early example with brass details dated 1936. Nice canister, perfect to put on a mannequin!

Very nice early pattern M31 breadbag made out of the post 1939 (1940-1945) fabric green fabric. The breadbag is made in the early pattern with leather reinforcements on the belt loops. The breadbag is nicely marked on the back of the hook/strap with a faded but still clearly noticeable makers mark. Sadly the bag has a rather large hole in the left bottom!

Textbook issue straight E-tool in very good condition. The entrenching tool is in very good condition with surface rust. This example is nicely marked and dated AB&C 1944! Very nice example!

Large wirecutter with pouch dated 1941 in excellent condition. The pouch is marked fkx 1941 indicating production by Gustav Sudbrack, Lederwaren u. Gamaschenfabrik, Bielefeld. Very hard to find with the original canvas pouch!

Rare late war Pressstoff straight E-tool carrier in very good, most likely unissued condition. The carrier features repurposed brown leather straps which can also be encountered on STG44/MP44 pouches. The carrier is nicely marked jet 4 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in 1944. This is the first time ever I have encountered a carrier with these repurposed straps! Impossible to upgrade!

Rare first pattern tropical Y-straps in good condition. The Y-straps are probably one of the rarest variants to acquire. This is a first pattern set of Y-straps with full webbing O-ring cover. The straps retain all of their original green hardware which seems to be typical and exclusive to these Y-straps. The Y-straps are made of typical olive coloured webbing and come with their original green webbing backstrap. A rare opportunity to acquire a true first pattern DAK or Afrikakorps Y-strap in excellent condition!

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!

Textbook late war manufactured M31 in very good, most likely unissued condition. The construction of this breadbag shows mixed materials where both leather and webbing are used. This is a typical late war feature. The breadbag is nicely marked with a big ink stamp; RBNr. 0/0650/0345 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example!

Textbook late war gasmask filter pouch in unissued condition. We have acquired a small lot of these and they are all in unissued condition.

Textbook early mapcase manufactured out of brown pebbled leather. The mapcase is in overall very good condition. The closing strap is original to the pouch but seems to been resewn at some point. The pouch features some interesting period hand written markings. Nice example!

Textbook late war gasmask filter pouch in unissued condition. We have acquired a small lot of these and they are all in unissued condition.

Folding E-tool dated 1940 in good used condition. 4 of the rivets have been period repaired. Otherwise in good usable condition!

Zeltbahn tent peg in very good condition. These were standard issue with the M31 Zeltbahn. Every soldier received a tent pole (Zeltstock 01), a guide line (Zeltleine 92) and two wooden, aluminum or resin tent pegs (Zeltpflöcke 29). Standard issue item in very good condition! I have multiple pieces in stock. The price is naturally for one piece, but you could order multiple – then I would try to match examples as good as I can from my stock.

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!

Very rare early manufactured Kriegsmarine issued Y-strap in very good condition. The Y-strap is beautifully marked Wersa, München 1941 and features an eagle with the capital M, which indicates that this is a Kriegsmarine issued example! The Y-straps are manufactured in 1941 and shows factory applied steel hardware. Very rare Y-strap which would be hard to upgrade!

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.

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

Nice and early pre war 1935(!) dated mapcase in good used condition. The mapcase is nicely marked and dated G. Reinhardt, Berlin 1935. The mapcase is nicely named with a typical kopierstift or Tintenstift to Feldwebel Kürt Mach from Hamburg, Glashüttenstrasse 85a. Excellent early and interesting mapcase for further research!
