Rare Panzer school training and recognition wooden Sd. Kfz. 171 Panther Ausf. This model once was used in the barracks of a Panzer school where it was used to indicate armor thickness, maneuverability and maintenance. This model is fully handcrafted out of wood with several small moving parts. The machingegun rotates in its ball-turret, as does the large turret with the main gun elevating. The driver viewport can be opened or closed. The front fenders can be tilted upwards. The wheels are all moving and the tracks are intact. One of the two rear crew stowage compartments on the rear has been professionally restored. The original factory tan paint is fully remaining. Some models were made with paper labels underneath or with stamped markings of it being army property. The Panzerkampfwagen VI Panther Ausf. A is a iconic piece that would be a centre piece in any Panzer collection. The Panther retains most of its original details, wheels and accessories. This example is a double out of my personal collection. Most of these are incomplete or classed as scrap iron Panzer wrecks; this one is ready for display. Out of all the Panzer recognition models this is probably the most sought after model that would nicely display with Panzer Wraps or Panzerkampfabzeichen!

I can ship this piece in a good, sturdy double layer box with the turret removed from the hull. I will take great care if I do but pickup is an option.

Tall M38 gasmask set named E. Heinen. The canister is dated 1942, the M38 mask is a cloth size 1 with filter. A nice matching set!

M44 rucksack in blue canvas with webbing straps. Not to be confused with a Luftwaffe issue rucksack; this one was meant to be issued to the Heer, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine. Nice late war variant in used condition!

Small rucksack marked H. Kruge 1940 in good used condition. Complete with its two webbing carrying straps.

First pattern Luftwaffe Rucksack dated Hamburg 1935 in used condition. This is a hard to find early example with detachable carrying straps. The straps have had their auxiliary straps connecting to the ammunition pouches removed. Otherwise very rare example!

Excellent M31 breadbag strap marked A.&M. Döling, Siebenbunn 1941. Allthough dated 1941 it is still made utilising the typical early fabric which was mostly used until early 1940.

Nice original pre war pattern M31 breadbag strap in excellent condition. The strap is nicely marked Carl Vogel, Cotbuss 1936 and features a unit marking I.R. which indicates Infanterie-Regiment. The strap is a typical pre war example with high quality leather, aluminium hardware and a reinforced middle part. Nice example!

Rare late war transitional tropical breadbag marked RB-Nr. 0/0750/0072. This is a transitional tropical breadbag made utilising leather and webbing in the construction. Nice collectible variant, hard to find!
