Textbook EM Artillery visor in mint condition. This one is a excellent example that would be very hard to upgrade. The wool retains most if not all of its nap with only one damage to the back on the piping. The liner is nicely marked Ernst Voigt Altenburg Stirndruckfrei Deutsches Reichspatent. The visor is partially loose but firmly attached to the cap itself. A minty cap that would be very hard to upgrade!

A stunning single decal ET64/CKL64 single decal M42 Heer helmet indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. Still retains up to 95% of the original decal which is the textbook factory decal for ET helmets. The helmet retains 99% of the original textured factory applied paint. The helmet has a 57 size liner which is factory fitted to the helmet and was fitted with two, not 3 washers to the rivets. Inside the dome the dome stamp is still clearly visible and the skirt of the helmet is nicely named to Rudolph. A nice late war helmet that has the tell-tale late war manufacturing with typical steel finish. If you’re looking for a textbook M42 Heer helmet this is it!

Original, untouched German M18 helmet straight from the Woodwork in Saint–Lô, Normandy. This helmet survived not one but two wars and was found with 5 other helmets in a farm in Saint–Lô by myself, 5.6.2021. The helmet is in the exact condition how I found it with its factory installed liner with one filled cushion and US-Style chinstrap that was added at some point. The helmet is in overall good, used condition and is marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke, Thale. The helmet is a nice untouched example that has never been in a collection before!

Rare and unique British Bergen rucksack as issued to Royal Marine Commando’s, Glider Pilots and other special ops units. These large Rucksacks were the tell tale equipment piece for any Commando as they were intended for use by troops that were not followed by transport vehicles and whose mission demanded that they take equipment which could not be carried in the large pack or haversack. This Bergen rucksack is exactly the type as used on D-Day, but this one has the proof it was actually there; the tell-tale invasion markings on the back of the bergen show it was used by a Royal Marine Commando or a Glider Pilot. The exact unit for these invasion markings is not known but would be a great base for further study that is worthy of this rucksacks history! The rucksack was originally obtained from a Vide-Greniers or flea market east of Caen, around 1995. This is a unique D-Day item that would be the prime piece in any Commonwealth D-Day display!

3 matching equipment straps in unissued condition. All the individual straps are unmarked but all have the same construction futuristics and are a real matching set. Nice set of 3 matching straps, perfect to finish a mannequin!

The butterdish is nicely MPD coded OX/S which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer and the usage of Phenolic resin (bakelite) with sawdust as the filler material. These are less hard to find than the unmarked example but these are higher in demand! Hard to find example which would be impossible to upgrade!

Original, as recently bought from a non-collector in Gent, Belgium. This M40 helmet is marked hkp66 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. in the shell size 66. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and period installed chinstrap. The helmets exterior features its factory paint with decal, covered with green and brown paint with signs it once had a full wire installed during the war. At some point the wire was removed; and the decal might have been cleaned a bit. But this is exactly how I bought it from a non-collector in Gent, Belgium. If you’re after a helmet that’s never been in a collection in good used condition; this is it!
