A stunning single decal NS68 single decal M42 Heer helmet. Still retains up to 95% of the original Huber Jordan u. Koerner decal which is the textbook factory decal for NS helmets. The helmet retains 99% of the original textured factory applied paint. The helmet has a big 60 size liner which is original to the helmet. The helmet is a great example of a minty exceptionally large helmet. Inside the dome the dome stamp is still clearly visible and the skirt of the helmet is nicely named to Vinken.
Over the general production only 5% where made in size 68 which makes it a rare size to find, especially in this minty condition. If you’re looking for a rare and large sized M42 Heer helmet this is it!

A nice and usable 10 liter Trinkwasser water carrier in stunning condition. This is most probably the cleanest and nicest Trinkwasserkanister I have seen so far. The canister is marked HRE indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen.
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!

A nice speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant dark brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

A textbook M43 field cap that has been stripped of its insignia. Finished in mid war German made wool with a full rayon lining. The caps retains two of its period sewn buttons of which one seems a period replacement. The cap bears a ghost of a trapezoid type insignia used by both the Heer and Waffen-SS. The cap is in nice lightly worn condition and would easily be restored with worn insignia. The cap is roughly a size 57 which is a great mannequin size!

A stunning M42 single decal Luftwaffe helmet in three-tone Normandy camouflage. Marked NS64 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet still retains up to 95% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage paint. The Luftwaffe decal nicely peaks through the paint and is in equal great condition. Inside the helmet is named Gefreiter Richter in the neck of the helmet in paint and pencil marking. This same name is on the leather liner. The liner and chinstrap are in strong used condition and original to the shell. They have never been removed from the helmet. The helmet used to be a part of the Baugnez 44 museum in the Belgian Ardennes. I’ll share a picture of it in the museum to the buyer. The vibrant camouflage paint on this helmet is really stunning and full of contrast. This is really a classic three-tone Normandy camouflage helmet in stunning condition. If you’d only need one Luftwaffe camouflage helmet – this is it.

Stunning mint Waffen-SS M44 Erbsentarn Tarnfeldbluse or Dot 44 camouflage tunic. The garment is in stone mint condition with its originally zigzag sewn sleeve eagle. The colours of the pea dot camouflage are all strong and vibrant. The tunic retains all of its mint and originally sewn buttons complete with its tan glass buttons on the cuffs and bandage pocket. The garment features all of its originally sewn green tunic buttons marked CTD. The collar is a unusual large model which is typical for this manufacturer. The garment is mint and can’t be upgraded.

Nice pre war belt with dark brown leather. The belt has a lot of unit markings typical for this type of belt. The size is around 90/95 centimeters. Hard to find a pre war Luftwaffe marked belt!

 

 

A nice original Luftschutz gladiator type helmet in good condition. The original decal still retains up to 90%.

A very nice and rare Telo Mimetico camouflage M31 Zeltbahn as issued to Heer and Waffen-SS units. The Zeltbahn is in good used condition but lightly faded. A very rare Zeltbahn!
