Equipment

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.

Nice original late war manufactured M31 breadbag strap in very good condition. Unlike 99% this strap has one seam in the middle instead of two on both sides. Nice example!

Nice original late war manufactured M31 breadbag strap in very good condition. The strap features an ink stamped marking but this is sadly not readable. Nice example!

Very rare and interesting M44 pattern breadbag which has never been properly finished. They never folded the leather to attach the two D-rings on the front. Really interesting unfinished example!

Nice original case for one of the rarest gas masks out there; the Kriegsmarine optical communications gasmask or Optische Gasmaske M-44. This gasmask is only scarcely seen and was issued to troops operating gunsights or range finders. The case is non good condition and still partially retains the manual on the inside of the lid. Hard to find case which would perfectly match with a Optische Gasmaske M-44! 

Perfect late war Rucksack in unissued condition. Typical late war manufactured example made out of a mix of materials. The leather is supple and the buckles retain all of their paint. Impossible to upgrade piece nicely dated 1944.

Luftwaffe Dreieckrechner dated December 1943 in good condition. This is the less common variant with the clear edge.

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!

Textbook tropical gascape pouch in unissued condition.

We have created a larger stock of leather equipment D-ring belt loops. All are in good and similar condition with only some traces of storage. Almost all of the D-ring belt loops are maker marked, mostly vaguely readable. Notice that we will randomly pick one out of the stock!

Excellent light weight pattern Y-straps as issued to Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel. The Y-strap is in excellent condition and is made out of a aesthetic light brown coloured leather, sadly it is missing the small leather parts to prevent the hooks from falling off. This example is nicely marked Otto Gehrckens, Pinneberg 1941. Very nice example!

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg in very good condition. The tent peg is nicely marked AW JR 38 which indicates production an unknown manufacturer in 1938. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

Umbral sunglasses case made by Carl Zeiss, Jena. These cases contained issue sunglasses which are famous for being issued to MG gunners within the German army! This is an early variant made out of aluminium and with the more circular shape. The case seems to be exposed to fire at some time. Very nice and hard to find early Umbral case!

Nice original steel Zeltbahn peg in very good condition. The peg is made out of steel which is harder to encounter than the aluminium examples. The peg is nicely marked RS and is painted in a strange almost tan/greenish colour. The tent peg is in good used condition and is still complete with its rope. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Very nice late war rucksack made completely out of blue fabric. These blue made rucksack are not Luftwaffe issued and were used by all branches. These blue rucksacks are quit hard to find, especially in combination with the brown leather detailing. The rucksack was named on the back which sadly is not completely readable anymore.

Very nice privately purchased high quality map case which was often preferred by officers. There are multiple original photographs which shows this pattern of map case in use. These feature the same type of closing clasp as the late war pattern map cases. Nice example especially for an officers display!

Very nice original M38 gasmask complete in a short early manufactured canister. The canister shows a nice L.S. Luftschütz ink stamp on the bottom. It also features a nice leave ticket from the Hauptbildstelle der R.L.M. Reichsluftfahrtministerium. Very nice and interesting example which would be a great research object!
