Rare high pattern dark brown/reddish coloured butterdish which is unusually marked. The marking just features numbers and not the standard MPD coded markings. The high pattern butterdish can fit exactly two time the content of the normal patterns. The usage of the high pattern butterdishes is unclear but for sure is original. The lid could be easily changed with a standard pattern butterdish and would make a perfect fit. Very rare and interesting example!

Textbook mid to late war breadbag strap in excellent condition. The strap is in unissued condition. It seems to have been marked with a stamped RBNr. which became unreadable!

Clear mapcase insert in good used condition. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth transparent surface to keep the maps unmarked. This example is nicely marked J.H. Kofler Jr., Bad Homburg. K.G. 1940.

Excellent pre war equipment strap in a beautiful brown colour. The strap is nicely marked Henseler & Co., Ulm 1935(!) and features a unit stamp: 12./G.J.R. 100 I (12e Kompanie, Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 100). Typical pre war example with high quality leather and aluminium hardware. Hard to find 1935 dated example with a unit mark from a sought after regiment!

Nice large capacity canteen intended to carry gasoline or “benzin” as was part of the Luftwaffe survival kit which was carried onto all types of plains! The canteen is marked ESB 43 which indicates Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1943. Sadly the black painted font has worn off but the canteen is still clearly recognizable by the yellow paint!

Original death card to SS-Panzer-Grenadier Karl Reil. He was KIA on the west front on 26.12.44 and died at the very young age of 17,5 years old. Depicting the information from his death card it’s sure that Karl Reil participated in the Ardennes Offensive as he is buried in Recogne/Bastogne.

Textbook Heer M40 mantel in unissued condition. The garment is a small to medium size and would be impossible to upgrade.

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0350/0152 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Typical and rare late war example with a simplified wire skeleton hook on the back strap. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

These Y-straps are made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using 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. This Y-strap is a beautiful example of the equipment that was made in Litzmannstadt. In contrast to most encountered Litzmannstadt manufactured Y-straps this example is in combat used condition. Excellent example!
