Pocket Litter

Typical wartime board game named Adler Luftkampfspiel, these games were made in typical propaganda fashion. Two players could either play the German Luftwaffe or British RAF. As far as I can see the game is complete!

Excellent and rare highlight pencils or Krokierstiften by Schwan-Bleistift-Fabrik (Stabilo) in very good condition. These sets of pencils were very popular among officers and NCO’s and other troops which worked with maps. Easy to keep with you and perfect to clarify and mark maps! The cardboard case is still in good condition and the labels are still largely readable. The label clearly reads: “Schwan-Krokier-Etuis“. Belongs in any map-case collection!

Auer Neopan goggles with red lenses in very good condition. The rubber is soft and pliable. The red contrasted lenses were issued to motorcyclists and supposedly U-boot personnel.

Textbook second pattern black butterdish or Fettbuchse marked with a 3 letter code which is rare to encounter on bakelite items. The butterdish is marked ggj/K, it is still unclear which maker ggj indicates. The lid has a small chip out of the bakelite. Very nice example!

Textbook spare lenses for the M30 and M38 gasmask in unissued condition. The lenses were issued with all German army gas masks and are a standard component to any gasmask kit. The price is for one set of two lenses in its original envelope straight from the wartime packaging.

Textbook pre war compass by Emil Busch with its original sling.

Excellent German army issue compass or Marschkompass. This is the the third pattern issued example made with a bakelite housing and with a capital “A” on top which indicates a clockwise 64 Mills direction. The production of this third pattern started post May 1944. The compass is nicely marked cxn which indicates production by Emil Busch A.-G., Rathenow. The compass is in good used condition and features a blueish anodized lid which is rare to encounter and typical for this manufacturer! Nice late war “A” marked compass!

Original period torch or Taschenlampe in very nice condition. This example is made by the well known manufacturer Daimon. This is the example on which the German army issued Daimon 2233 torch was based. Nice example!

Nice complete Kartenwinkelmesser or K.W. 27. All of the grids are from different manufacturers and are in a private made or late war issue pouch. The set is complete and the Kartenwinkelmesser even features its original piece of rope for the pencil! Nice set which are becoming harder and harder to find complete!

Heer issue signal whistle made from phenolic resin (Bakelite) and wood complete with its original field grey lanyard in slightly used condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known. Very hard to find Heerissue whistle which would compliment almost every NCO/CO combat display.

Heer issue signal whistle made from phenolic resin (Bakelite) and wood complete with its original field gray knotted lanyard in slightly used condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known. Very hard to find Heerissue whistle which would compliment almost every NCO/CO combat display.

Early Umbral goggles with leather pouch and separate compartment for spare lenses in a small sleeve.

Rare tin by Eberhard Faber for Landkartenstiften or map drawing pencils. These where privately purchased pencils produced solely for the tactical marking on military maps.

Rare original Luftwaffe Beobachter and Fliegeruhr in working condition. These timepieces were issued to observers making notes where exact times were key. The timepiece is in good condition considering its age; it kept being worn in the post war era and received a different yet period strap. It’s a beautiful and timeless piece that would fit any wrist (or collection) nicely!
