Textbook matching pair of parka mittens in Splittertarn camouflage in very good, most likely unissued condition.

The mittens are reversible from Splittertarn camouflage to the white “winter camouflage” side. perfect set!

Pre war French tropical EM shirt in near mint condition. These shirts were more then often issued and worn by troops in the Afrikakorps. Early on in the Afrikakorps the Germans had large logistical problems with issueing every man a full tropical equipment. Shirts, sweaters, socks and underwear was often reissued from existing and looted French army stocks. Hard to find shirt in excellent condition!

Rare late war Waffen-SS M42 smock in ‘denumbered’ plane tree camouflage pattern. The smock is a excellent, combat worn example with a nice light wear overall. The garment is manufactured in the later war hand screened ‘denumbered’ plane tree camouflage which was developed after removing the numbers from the pattern. The foiliage loops are originally sewn to the body and sleeves and are mostly made in 3/4 plane tree overprint and several in blurred edge pattern. The garment is a textbook late war example with slanted pockets, lined in tan, most probably Italian, material. The smock is a beautiful example with nice and vibrant colours, a large misprint at the back lower seam executed in a very rare late war pattern. Choice, combat worn example that would be very hard to upgrade!

Extremely scarce Waffen-SS Panzer wrap trousers marked 226 in excellent, lightly worn condition. Textbook Waffen-SS issue example manufactured in late war recycled wool. The garment is in very good, very lightly worn condition and would be very hard to upgrade.

Heer M43 Keilhosen in Gaberdine, unissued piece that would be very hard to upgrade!

Untouched Heer EM M43 field blouse in very good, near mint condition. The garment is a textbook late war example manufactured in coarse Italian wool lined with grey rayon. The garment has all of its factory sewn insignia and is very hard to upgrade!

Rare and probably unique Heer or Waffen-SS M45 field blouse. Typical late war garment in very good condition. The jacket is made out of the typical late war recycled wool partially lined on the position of pockets. The garment never received collar tabs or a breast eagle. The garment is the last evolution of the field blouse, ommitting a further 3 metal and 8 paper buttons from the already simplified M44 field blouse. The jacket is probably the rarest IMO Waffen-SS wool garment that I have had the chance to offer.

Rare Luftwaffe used sweater in used condition. The sweater was recently picked out of a German clothing recycling factory by my German friend. In used condition but nicely displays under a Fliegerbluse or smock. Very hard to find a original example!

Textbook privately purchased Heer field blouse for a Oberleutnant der Panzergrenadiere. The field blouse retains all of its original insignia for a Oberleutnant der Panzergrenadiere. The collar tabs are originally Heer Infanterie which were later coloured to the Panzergrenadier Waffenfarbe. This is a very common feature for Panzergrenadier officer collar tabs, shoulderstraps and visor piping. The reason is that these Panzergrenadier units first started out as Infanterie (Motorisiert), later to be renamed to Panzergrenadier – with a new Waffenfarbe colour. Whilst some soldiers changed out insignia many just recoloured parts of the Waffenfarbe in their uniforms. The garment is in nice, lightly worn condition. There is a set of award loops on the left breast pocket. A nice original field blouse in good worn condition!

Second pattern Luftwaffe field division smock in Splittertarn B camouflage. Textbook, late war example made out of multiple shades of Splittertarn B camouflage pattern. The garment is in unworn condition with strong and vibrant colours. The breast eagle is original but expertly resewn to the garment, handsewn with two needles mimicking the textbook zig-zag in stitch and line. The two lower pockets are lined in Braunmeliert material, the left inner pocket is lined with Splittertarn B, sewn inside out. The garment is missing one of its shoulderstrap loops but is otherwise in perfect condition. I would say this one is very hard to upgrade.

Very nice matching pair of parka mittens in Splittertarn camouflage. The mittens are reversible from Splittertarn camouflage to the white “winter camouflage” side. Nice matching set in very good, used condition.

Textbook reversible Sumpftarn parka trousers in good worn condition in the large size 3.

Long straight Heer Afrikakorps tropical trousers in unissued condition. Later war example made from Italian fabric which was issued with the M43 style tropical field blouse.

Extremely scarce original Waffen-SS Panzer crew member trousers in Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. The trousers are in very good, IMO lightly worn condition. The garment retains all but one factory sewn buttons. The garment was discovered in a cloth recycling factory in my hometown.There is a small period handsewn repair to the bottom of both legs. Both leg tie straps are there as is the internal belt and the inside pockets. The trousers are in a good, medium to large size fitting most modern sized mannequins. The garment is not visibly marked which probably washed out with the time. The garment is made from three types of camouflage fabric being Erbsentarn straight and reverse printed HBT and smooth Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. The garment retains a number of different thread colours all over. The button holes are typical for the garment. The wearer at some point removed the internal waist belt buckle by sewing a button to the waist. This could easily be restored yet the garment is untouched and was worn as is. The garment was worn and washed during its service hence it’s pockets retain a light blue hue inside. Otherwise the colours are vibrant and exactly how they should be. A rare opportunity to purchase real Waffen-SS camouflage Panzer trousers in Erbsentarn camouflage fabric!
