Mica Wirtschaftkasten personal effects box

This “Mica Wirtschaftkasten” was one of the most luxuous pieces of private purchase pocket litter. This set was commonly gifted to sons going to war, bought by officers or bought at barracks stores.

Awesome late signal whistle with original lanyard
€65.00A very hard to find detail to finish a NCO display. This original German army issue signal whistle made from white horn with its original field gray lanyard is in mint condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known.
Many private purchase or paramilitary whistles can be found for sale but only very little military issue whistles. To top it off this one comes with the original lanyard and is in mint condition!

Stunning 5 Liter SMM41 water container
€200.00A nice and usable 5 liter Trinkwasser water carrier.
These carriers where first introduced around 1941 probably due to the hot climate in Italy and Africa. These are becoming hard to find and are a good and secure way to take drinking water to the front. This one still has most of its original paint and stencils and is in very good condition!The canister is clean. It has not been used to store oil, gasoline or other poisonous substances. I have drunk water from this one myself last summer.

Beautiful pre war pocket knife
€45.00A beautiful pre war French pocket knife. This knife has a lot of small fold out accessories and is marked “AUVERGNE SOCIALISTE” which was a French Socialist movement in the Auvergne region between 1930 and 1940. This knife is big and heavy. The sides have been lined with bone and it shows signs that it wasn’t a cheap knife at the time, either. This is the nicest pocket knife I’ve had to offer, ever.

Belt support strap hooks for m36/m40 tunics
€7.50These small hooks are always missing in m36/m40 reproduction tunics. They are not belt hooks but keep the belt hook support straps in place. Every m36/m40 tunic had two of these sewn to the inside. I will pick out matching sets when I ship them. The price is for two hooks!

Original wooden toothbrush
€17.50Original period toothbrushes. One of the best known characteristics of wartime toothbrushes is the fact that the “brush” part is very long. The toothbrushes are made out of wood. I would consider using one like this as it is as new. Toothbrushes weren’t a issue item, they where private purchase. A civilian toothbrush like this is is what the German soldier would have.
Worldwide shipping is included!
