SOLD ITEMS

Hard to find complete pioneer pouches, complete with rucksack in mint condition. The set is made Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt utilizing parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. Hard to find late war complete Pionier set that would be very hard to upgrade!

A very nice late war Enamelled M42 messkit in good, lightly used condition. The messkit still retains most of its original enameling and is a typical late war messkit in very good condition!

A nice pre war complete gasmask canister named Hans B Bartels. The gasmask is complete with straps, filter, cleaning cloth, spring and spare lenses. The canister still retains up to 95% of its apple green paint.

A black painted Heer single decal Q64 M40 helmet. The black colour is often referred to as Flak and is applied on top of the factory textured fieldgrey paint with Heer Decal. The helmet was recently obtained straight from the woodwork in Antwerp, Belgium. The helmet has a bullet/shrapnel damage to the front of the helmet. This also damaged the black paint indicating the helmet was already painted black when it was hit. The helmet is in very good, lightly worn condition and has its original liner and chinstrap. Behind the liner we find newspapers that where added by the soldier for a more comfortable wear. The helmet is nice and uncommon but most of all a honest damaged helmet and priced to sell!

A nice mapcase complete with a map cover and a GKS planzeiger.

A stunning M42 single decal Luftwaffe helmet in three-tone Normandy camouflage. Marked NS64 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet still retains up to 95% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage paint. The Luftwaffe decal nicely peaks through the paint and is in equal great condition. Inside the helmet is named Gefreiter Richter in the neck of the helmet in paint and pencil marking. This same name is on the leather liner. The liner and chinstrap are in strong used condition and original to the shell. They have never been removed from the helmet. The helmet used to be a part of the Baugnez 44 museum in the Belgian Ardennes. I’ll share a picture of it in the museum to the buyer. The vibrant camouflage paint on this helmet is really stunning and full of contrast. This is really a classic three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet in stunning condition. If you’d only need one Luftwaffe camouflage helmet – this is it.

A nice minty and matching M31 Labeflasche marked G&CL 43 indicating prodution by Gehardi & Co, Lüdenscheid. Hard to upgrade tropical canteen in mint condition!

The helmet retains its wartime installed half basket chickenwire camouflage netting which has never been removed from the helmet. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original fieldgrey paint. The liner and chinstrap are original to the helmet and are both in strong used condition. The helmet and its camouflage netting are a one looker original set. Chickenwire camouflage helmets are highly sought after and are key parts of every helmet collection. Simply a stunning chickenwire camouflage helmet that would be véry hard to upgrade.

A nice grouping that was found in the household of Heinz Preissing several years ago. The grouping consists of a M40 tunic and a Soldbuch with a large amount of paperwork. Also there is a nice large picture of Heinz, sitting next to his equipment. The M40 tunic has its factory machine sewn litzen and breast eagle. The breast eagle is machine sewn, then folded flat and finished by hand. The shoulder boards retain the cyphers for Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98. The Unteroffizierstresse is machine sewn to the collar. The Gebirgsjäger Edelweiss is handsewn. The breast pocket has 4 sets of wartime sewn loops for awards and a small spange above it. The tunic is not shortened or tailored but has several wartime machine sewn repairs. The Soldbuch has many, many entries and a picture in the front. Heinz carried a French or Dutch pistol with 16 rounds of ammunition. He entered service in 1938. Heinz was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen Im Schwarz in 1941. The Soldbuch corresponds with the Erkennungsmarke. Heinz was a part of the Staff of the unit, possibly later in the war he was the Zahlmeister.

Gebirgsjäger Regiment 98 was one of the first units to enter Poland in 1939. Then following up in the 1940 campaign attacked France, moving through Luxembourg. More information on the unit here.

Although the grouping could bring more if split up, I have no wish to split this group up. The grouping is large and has lots of research possibilities. I wish I had more time to go more into the paperwork; its really a interesting group!

A stunning original M40 Waffen-SS Mantel or overcoat in near mint condition.

The eagle has been removed from the sleeve, other then that its a nice untouched near mint condition Waffen-SS M40 Mantel. There are several small moth holes on the bottom of the coat.
