Equipment

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!

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!

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.

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

Rare original Losantin Gelbkreuzentgifungsmittel tablet red/brownish pressed paper container. The tablets which were inside were especially used for detoxification of the skin after a mustard gas(!) attack. These round pressed paper containers are very hard to find in a good condition.

A nice wartime torch in good used condition. Rare variant in blue paint. Nice personal effect, awesome on a mannequin!
