Equipment

Textbook tropical gascape pouch in unissued condition.

A very nice original lightweight Y-strap as issued and used by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer). Beautifully dated 1942, sadly I cant figure out the manufacturers marking. The Y-strap is in mint most likely unissued condition!

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!

Nice pre war aluminium single tent peg in good condition. The tent peg is nicely marked S37 which indicates production by an unclear producer in 1937. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

Excellent pre war aluminium single tent peg in good condition. The tent peg is nicely marked L&F 37 which indicates production an unknown manufacturer in 1937. The peg is original and complete with its factory attached cord!

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 NOWA. The tent peg is in used condition and is still complete with its rope. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Textbook late war gasmask filter pouch in unissued condition. Very rare example manufactured from a atypical rough fabric with two reddish press studs. These is one of the very few examples there are known with this construction! Nice and rare example!

Textbook M31 Zeltbahn or shelter quarter in Splittertarn camouflage in hard used condition. Tis example is nicely marked Polizie-Regt… which indicates this was a Polizei issue Zeltbahn! The Zeltbahn has some small stains and is a bit faded. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its original factory applied aluminium buttons, grommets and strings. Rare Polizei issued example in overall good condition!

Excellent late war produced M31 breadbag in good, most likely unissued condition. All buttons and D-rings are original factory applied! The breadbag is nicely marked on the back of the hook/strap with and faded but still clearly noticeable RBNr. Choice late war example made out of two different types of fabric with one of them a slightly rougher type of fabric!

Rare Pioneer tool pouch manufactured out of black pressstoff complete with rare coarse webbing carrying strap. The tool pouch was issued to carry fuze setters, crimp tools and some other small items. The tool is nicely marked dob 1941 which indicates production by a still unidentified manufacturer. The pouch is in worn, untouched condition and is hard to find!

Nice matching bayonet marked Jos. Corts 40 indicating production by Josua Corts Sohn, Remscheid in 1940. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 4511c and has nice clean bakelite grips. Jos. Corts marked bayonets are one of the rarest K98 bayonets! The bayonet is in a good uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition with almost 99% of its factory blueing. Note that a small tip of the blade is broken off otherwise perfect!

Rare metal container for the gas detection cartridges for the Gasanzeiger. Nicely maker marked bwz indicating production by Auer.

Excellent and extremely rare left sided pouch as intended for combat pioneers. The bag features extremely rare and hardly ever encountered dark green coarse webbing straps. These straps have only been encountered at these combat pioneer pouches, or canteens as far as my knowledge goes. All by all equipment which features this dark green coarse webbing is extremely rare and wanted by collectors. The bag is in overall good, almost mint condition and seems to be unissued. No markings can be found. The atypical construction of this pouch with a range of different materials including the dark green coarse webbing makes this bag impossible to upgrade! For sure one of the best single combat pioneer pouches I have ever offered!

Nice original bakelite handset for the field phone. This special handset was developed so that the soldier could wear a helmet whilst operating a field phone or radio. Very rare equipment piece!

Nice pioneer issue saw in hard used condition. The saw is complete with its early leather scabbard!

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This example came out of a small find in Italy just recently and would be hard to upgrade.

Uncommon pre war cleaning kit for the Dutch army gasmask. These can be differientiated from the post war examples which are marked Brillenzalf voor Gasmaskers.

Excellent Heer officers embroiled (bullion) breast eagle in uniform removed condition.

Rare original leather cloth protector that was worn on the tongue of the belt and kept the buckle from fraying up the tunic. These are virtually always missing from the parade belts and this is only the second one I’ve ever encountered!

I’ve acquired a small lot of original Blausiegel Edel condom packages all containing 3 original condoms. These original condoms are some of the hardest to find personal equipment as they where single use only. I’ve found 10 packs and the price is for a single pack with 3 condoms.
