Mint condition black coloured leather Jerkin from Canadian manufacturing. These Canadian produced Jerkins are made in a multi panel construction and the quality standards are way higher comparing with the British produced Jerkins. This example has a clearly readable label which indicates production by The D.A. Miller Co., Ltd., Montreal in 1943. These Jerkins were worn by almost all troops including dispatch riders and armored troops. This example is a nice medium size and would most likely fit any mannequin!

Original M43 field blouse for a Unterfeldwebel der Infanterie in very good condition. The garment is a nice example in lightly worn condition with a lot of nap remaining in the wool. The garment comes with period sewn Kragenlitzen and Unteroffizierstresse, but in my opinion the breast eagle is resewn. The field blouse comes with a lovely pair of matching shoulderstraps for a Unterfeldwebel. The jacket is in a good medium size, and has two award loops on the breast pocket.

Original US Graflex Speed Graphic Anniversary camera, one of the most well known allied wartime used cameras that saw action on all fronts. These camera’s are large and bulky, not the type the average soldier would carry on him but the type as issued to official war correspondents and members of the Signal Corps. The Speedgraphic was used by many of the well known US war photographers and surely is one of the most famous US army issue camera’s of WW2.

Uncommon US Cattaraugus 225Q ‘Commando’ fighting knife in good used condition.

Very nice original US RH-36 PAL fighting knife issued to many US army branches in world war two. Textbook piece in good used condition marked.

Rare intact original US issue sunglasses by American Polaroid in its original case dated 1945.

A great set of original buttons for a Heer or Waffen-SS M43 field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. Rare buttons to find and all in good usable condition!

Very nice rare original Luftwaffe blue collar liner or Kragenbinde. These collar liners where standard in every tunic (Fliegerbluse) but are virtually always missing from the garment! Nice example with black resin button!

A set of two buttons indicating 2. Kompanie, often worn on EM and NCO dress and field tunics.

24 original winter parka buttons which was commonly worn by German troops. Rare to find spares!

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the knijhpkat doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is still in great condition and the torch still works!

A set of 4 matching and two spare internal support straps as sewn inside M42 and M43 garments. These straps are often removed and spares are hard to come by.

Rare late war subdued dull grey NCO rank Tresse. Late war subdued variant, a long piece that should be enough for a collar and shoulderstraps.

Extremely rare 1935 dated FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone in great combat used condition. The small white board on the closing lid features a lot of period writing such as Ringleitung, Komp., 1. Zug, 2. Zug, 3. Zug, which indicates this piece has seen some real combat use! The lid has a one crack on one of the edges but the bakelite housing is except for one crack undamaged. The crank is not matching with the field telephone itself which is virtually always the case, the crank is an early 1937 dated example and seems to been together with the rest of the field telephone since the war ended. This is the earliest example I have ever seen and for sure one of the best field telephones I have ever had the pleasure to offer!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!

Textbook and very interesting so-called three tone FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone. This example gets the three tone designation thanks to the textbook construction where the metal parts used are finished in three different colours: tan (yellow), black and blueish grey (Blaugrau) which is typical for 1944 dated examples where the FF33 first started to be made with tan coloured parts! The FF33 is nicely marked rsm 1944 which indicates production in 1944 by an unknown maker. It is also features a mark “ark” which is an abbreviation for Arktisch which indicates the field telephone is designed so it can be used arctic climates. Excellent and very interesting late war constructed FF33 which would be impossible to upgrade!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!
