Pocket Litter

Aluminum Luftwaffe tea spoon marked FLUV and IGK & F 38 indicating production by Kugel & Fink.

Textbook 4 piece Wehrmacht issue field cutlery set in very good, matching condition. These cutlery sets were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good used condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items! This example is nicely marked 681 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Some pieces show some surface rust.

Rare original Luftwaffe Beobachter and Fliegeruhr in working condition. These timepieces were issued to observers making notes where exact times were key. The timepiece is in good condition considering its age; it kept being worn in the post war era and received a different yet period strap. It’s a beautiful and timeless piece that would fit any wrist (or collection) nicely!

Nice original Göffel marked GK&F 40 which indicates production by Gebr. kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid in 1940. The maker Gebr. Kugel & Fink, Lüdenscheid is mainly known for their production of belt buckles but they produced a lot more than just belt buckles!

Unissued Hohner Harmonika ‘Sonnige Jugend’. Typical period harmonika priced in Reichsmark at the back.

Rare Bakelite AEG hand dynamo torch in excellent condition. The torch is marked AEG indicating production by Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft which is a very well known German electronics manufacturer who still produces household devices today. The German counterpart to the Dutch Knijpkat, this aesthetic flashlight design is in good and working condition. The bakelite is as far as I can see it undamaged!

Excellent and rare bakelite salt container/dispenser. These are believed to be especially designed for use in tropical climates. The container is nicely marked amh/K, amh is a 3 letter for the manufacturer which is quite uncommon for bakelite items, K indicates the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. Nice and hard to find example!

Textbook aluminium Göffel in excellent condition. The Göffel shows an unknown manufacturers logo. Very nice example!

Excellent and rare highlight pencils or Krokierstiften by Eberhard Faber in very good condition. These sets of pencils were very popular among officers and NCO’s and other troops which worked with maps. Easy to keep with you and perfect to clarify and mark maps! The case is still in good condition and the labels are still readable. The label clearly reads: “Landkarten-Stifte Nr. 541“. These sets were privately purchased from the manufacturer Eberhard Faber which designed this set together with some other products (such as the Taktik-etui) in a line with products designed for usage within the Wehrmacht (Spezial-Erzeugnisse für die Wehrmacht). This is one of the rarer products to find from the Eberhard Faber product line and this example comes straight out of my personal collection! Belongs in any map-case collection!

Very rare and extremely scarce Eberhard Faber Taktik-Etui Nr. 542 in excellent condition. The pouch misses its original Eberhard Faber content but contains 5 period Renta 1507 propelling pencils which are marked Stadsverwaltung München which are original to the pouch. The pouch is nicely named to Unteroffizier Pütz. These sets were privately purchased from the manufacturer Eberhard Faber which designed this set together with some other products (such as the Krokierstifte) in a line with products designed for usage within the Wehrmacht (Spezial-Erzeugnisse für die Wehrmacht). The pouch itself is designed to be worn on the belt or to be attached to a button on the uniform, the pouch is manufactured from high quality brown coloured leather. Extremely rare set which are very collectible but very hard to encounter, especially in this condition! This set is coming from my own personal collection!

Textbook second pattern brown coloured butterdish in good condition. Sadly the bottom part has a large crack and a few scratched up areas as can be clearly seen in the pictures. This example is manufactured out of a very nice aesthetic brown coloured bakelite. Typical second pattern with fine thread and a gripped bottom and lid. Nice example!

Rare original Kriegsmarine Dienstuhr in good, working condition marked 592 indicating production by Alpina.

Excellent textbook pre war issue Zielgevierttafel mit Planzeiger or Z.m.P. in very good condition. All the parts including the pouch itself are made by the well known map accessories manufacturer Gebr. Wichmann. The Planzeiger is dated 1937 and the Zielgevierttafel is dated 1934, which is very early!  Complete sets are becoming harder to find, let alone in matching condition by a desirable manufacturer!

Textbook privately purchased field cutlery set marked DRGM indicating Deutsches Reichs Gebrauchs Muster.

Typical wartime “Knijpkat” torch. These flashlights where made utilizing forced labour from Konzentrationslager Herzogenbusch. Unlike most of the wartime used flashlights the “knijpkat” doesn’t have a battery but uses a small internal dynamo. The mechanism is in working condition but sometimes it falters a bit which is not disruptive. The “knijpkat” is in used condition and would look perfect in a display!

Typical pocket litter item; a period band-aid tin by Lebewohl. The tin is empty but in very good condition.

Luftwaffe AK39 compass strap extension for FL 23235 and FL 23235-1. This part is used with the standard wrist compass strap to wear it on top of the thick winter flight suit which needs more space on the strap. Hard to find as a spare part!
