Excellent first pattern Luftwaffe gravity knife lanyard with 2 clips as is supposed to be for the first pattern. The lanyard is still originally tied together and has never been untied, rare in this untouched condition! This is for sure the best lanyard I can ever offer!

Extremely rare and almost impossible to find piece of standard equipment with winter camouflage (Whitewash). This late war produced aluminium M31 messkit or “Kochgeschirre M 31 (Alum.)” retains up to 85% of its green olive coloured factory finish paint. The paint is covered with traces of winter camouflage in the form of Whitewash, Whitewashed equipment is very hard to find! The messkit is nicely marked OHW 44 which indicates production by Otto Honsel, Werdohl in 1944. The lid of the messkit has the owners initials HZ scratched into the surface of the paint. Excellent untouched whitewashed winter camouflaged messkit in great condition which would be impossible to upgrade!

 

Very nice original Italian Telo Mimetico camouflage square shelter quarter in good used condition.

Early war steel produced Deckungswinkelmesser or Indirect fire calculator in good used condition. The Deckungswinkelmesser is nicely marked dhq which is a later simplified code which indicates production by J.D. Möller G.m.b.H., Wedel. This small device was designed to calculate distances and hight differences in terrain. This example has probably been made around 1940, when they changed from brass to steel for the main construction but the “instruction board” still had been produced out of brass! This tool was one of the few real army (Wehrmacht) issued pieces, and is hard to find in good working condition!

Excellent most likely pre war long Gasmaske strap in mint most likely unissued condition. The strap is nicely marked Karl Back, the date is sadly unreadable. Typical early construction with aluminium hardware. Hard to find a early produced long strap as a spare in this condition!

This tag comes from a big hoard find of a POW camp and these are not grounding from KIA soldiers!

Original Heer officers visor that has been ‘crushed’ by the wearer recreating the ‘Alter Art’ look. The cap is in very good, salty untouched condition. Part of the lining and the stuffing was removed together with the stiffener which was a popular look. Very nice field worn visor!

Extremely rare, original, unissued condition British made Jumpsuit for use with the British SOE (Special Operations Executive) or US OSS(Office of Strategic Services). These jumpsuits, nick named ‘Striptease suits’ were worn on top of civilian clothing by secret agents dropped over occupied territory. These suits were to be worn during the jump and immediately discarded after. These coveralls are made in a heavy duck with hand screened camouflage pattern. Most of these rare coveralls found post war use as tank coveralls where the back pad pouch on the back was removed and a hood added. This is a unissued and unmodified example in perfect condition with three of its original zippers in working condition. There is not another one on the market where they are only rarely offered. For sure one of the most rare items I’ve ever had the chance to offer. A museum piece!

Late war Heer Panzergrenadier visor marked Offizier Kleiderklasse Berlin Erel Sonderklasse Ges. Gesch. Extra. The visor is a excellent and unworn example. The cap is a nice medium to large size that would be impossible to upgrade.
