Militaria

Rare Dutch leather motorcyclist breeches marked CM 1939 in good condition. These Breeches were worn together with a leather jacket by motorcyclists in the 1940 campaign. This is a very rare pair in good condition. There are two missing buttons as far as I can tell. The size is pretty big. Not if your mannequin is 2 meters tall but mostly wide, which is a hard feature to find for Breeches. Otherwise in excellent condition!

Heer EM / NCO tropical shirt in unissued condition. Hard to find early example without pockets.

Textbook Luftwaffe overcoat or Wachmantel or guard coat. This fully lined example was favoured by troops serving on the eastern front but these also saw a lot of use during the Ardennes offensive. Textbook example in near mint condition!

Kriegsmarine leather deck trousers in good used condition. One seam on the front is partially damaged, otherwise it looks to be in good condition.

Extremely scarce original Waffen-SS Panzer crew member trousers in Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. The trousers are in very good, IMO lightly worn condition. The garment retains all but one factory sewn buttons. The garment was discovered in a cloth recycling factory in my hometown.There is a small period handsewn repair to the bottom of both legs. Both leg tie straps are there as is the internal belt and the inside pockets. The trousers are in a good, medium to large size fitting most modern sized mannequins. The garment is not visibly marked which probably washed out with the time. The garment is made from three types of camouflage fabric being Erbsentarn straight and reverse printed HBT and smooth Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. The garment retains a number of different thread colours all over. The button holes are typical for the garment. The wearer at some point removed the internal waist belt buckle by sewing a button to the waist. This could easily be restored yet the garment is untouched and was worn as is. The garment was worn and washed during its service hence it’s pockets retain a light blue hue inside. Otherwise the colours are vibrant and exactly how they should be. A rare opportunity to purchase real Waffen-SS camouflage Panzer trousers in Erbsentarn camouflage fabric!

Spectacular uniform grouping named to Leutnant Seebold serving with Grenadier Regiment 44, 11 Infanterie Division, killed in action 26.3.1944 in Sirgalla, west of Narwa. He is buried in Jöhvi, Block 1 Row 21 Grave 1055. The grouping consists of the modified enlisted men M36 field blouse dated 1937, manufactured in Danzig. The garment is modified by a skilled tailor by means of adding a bottle green, pointed officer’s collar and insignia for a Leutnant. The breast is adorned with a Infanterie Sturmabzeichen by SchuCo and a unmarked Verwundetenabzeichen in Schwarz. There are a number of minor repairs to the tunic I have tried to photograph them as best as possible. The visor is a semi-crusher; a mix between a regular officer’s visor and a crusher which has a great look on a mannequin. The crusher has beautiful hand embroidered insignia which like all the other insignia in the grouping are period applied.

A beautiful and very interesting grouping that could be a good base for further research!
