Pre war compass marked hap in good used condition.

Period powdered milk can by Edelweiss Milchwerk K. Hoefelmayr-Kempten Allgau. This is a pre 1945 produced tin that used to contain powdered milk. These canisters were produced for the civilian market but most probably also found their way into the rucksacks of individual soldiers, bunkers or field kitchens. The can is most probably produced in 1943 or 1944 with its expiry dated reading 1945.  These canisters are also shown in the reference book by Jimmy L. Pool, Ruhetag: The Day to Day Life of the German Soldier in WWII, Vol. 1: Health and Hygiene on page 56. Which is a great book for any collector.

This canister is a period example produced prior to 1945. It is important for me to explain that these in no way have anything to do with the elsewhere offered ‘Edelweiss’ toilet paper rolls which are in fact modern fantasy items. The price on the top reads RM indicating Reichsmarks. Every 6 of these canisters are slightly different in height, colour and print. This is a great indication of the authenticity because a modern copy would be fully identical in all forms. You will get the pictured example which was produced in 1943 or 1944 with the expiry date reading 1945. I have found 6 of these canisters in good condition and I think I will not find more. Hard to find original ration item with a great and iconic image!

Textbook pre war pattern compass in excellent condition. The compass is nicely marked MK. Hard to find a pre war pattern compass in this condition!

Heer table knife marked Offz.-Heim I.R. 105 in good condition. The knife is maker marked E&C Hartkopf Solingen-Merkscheid. The unit Infanterie Regiment 105 was a part of the 72- and 170 Infanteriedivision . Nice example in good condition!

Steel Göffel for the M1910 messkit in good used condition. This type of Göffel was designed to fit inside the M1910 messkit which is often missing.

Aluminium Göffel marked WSM 38 in excellent condition. Hard to find pre war piece in good condition!

Original aluminium spoon fork combination or Göffel in very good condition. This is typical WSuCL produced example but unlike 99% of these this example shows little to no use. Nice example! I have three identical examples in stock, the price is for one.

Aluminum Kriegsmarine spoon marked HMZ 39

Aluminum Luftwaffe tea spoon marked FLUV and IGK & F 38 indicating production by Kugel & Fink.

Typical issue wristwatch in good used condition. The watch is marked Büren. The watch is serialized D10427H. The wristwatch is a typical Wehrmacht issue, not private purchase piece. The watch is in functional condition as far as my expertise goes.  The watch is complete with a period correct looking strap. A real Dienstuhr can be the finishing touch on a mannequin!

Typical issue wristwatch in good used condition. The watch is marked Page and Boden Edelstahl KJ on the back. The watch is serialized D662130H. The wristwatch is a typical Wehrmacht issue, not private purchase piece. The watch is in non functional condition.  A real Dienstuhr can be the finishing touch on a mannequin if completed with a period strap!

Early Aluminium goggle case in good used condition, could be cleaned. These cases are normally observed manufactured in thin sheet metal later in the war. Nice example

Rare general purpose goggles by Merz-Werke, Spez, Fbk., Frankfurt/ M.R. which are rather rare! These have a thin elastic rope instead of just a fabric strap to keep the goggles in place! Nice example made out of black Ersatz material with brown Ersatz material pouch as well!

Nice original Göffel marked GK&F 40 which indicates production by Gebr. kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid in 1940. The maker Gebr. Kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid is mainly known for their production of belt buckles but they produced a lot more than just belt buckles!

Excellent stainless steel fork which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The fork is nicely marked VSW 41 which indicates production by a rare, unidentified manufacturer. As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with an clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!

Wehrmacht u. Waffen-SS typewriter by Olympia. Typical finished in factory field grey which is probably a army issed example. The typewriter is in very good, working condition and has little to no wear. Some of the buttons are a bit sticky but I have not found a faulty one. As you can see it types just fine.

Very nice period bakelite torch or Taschenlampe in good condition. This example is nicely marked and manufactured by Zeiler.
