EF62 M42 Waffen-SS single decal helmet named Sawatzki in excellent condition. Typical single decal Waffen-SS helmet with its original factory decal, paint and factory installed liner. This helmet was once a part of the Baugnez44 museum collection which has sadly closed. The helmet was originally found in the Ardennes but I am not sure where its exact finding place was. The helmet is a textbook example in good used condition and would be hard to upgrade!

Spectacular SE64 M35 Heer helmet in ex chickenwire, sawdust three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet retains its original factory installed liner and a chinstrap. The helmet is finished in a three-tone normandy camouflage paint finish which is still visible up to 85%. This camouflage paint finish was executed on a textured sawdust base in tan, brown and green. Interestingly observing the shell it is obvious that prior to it being camouflage painted it was covered with chickenwire and a rubber wire foiliage band. The imprints of the chickenwire and band are imminently visible. This is a very nice and hard to find example, surely a ‘top shelf’ level camouflage helmet considering all factors!

Stunning aluminium MG34 u. MG42 ammunition case in factory brown/blue camouflage with a later field applied tan camouflage. The case is a nice early example with a wartime tan camouflage finish. The case was originally found in Saint-Côme-du-Mont, right in the middle of the dropzones for the 101st Airborne Division in Normandy. The case has wartime applied stencils for the E for Ersatzteilkasten and a additional Gurtfuller marking on the top indicating it would have once housed the belt loader. The closing clasp is broken which is typical for these early cases. The case is a beautiful camouflaged example that would be very hard to upgrade and a nice honest piece!

EF64 M42 helmet with Normandy, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark veteran art in good condition. The helmet is marked EF64 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet retains a large numbers of town names. The veteran was a part of a RAF Mobile Signals Unit(MSU).

This is a excellent conversation piece literally illustrating the individual soldiers wartime story. Hard to find piece from my personal collection!

Textbook Kriegsmarine NCO visor by Erel Sonderklasse in good used condition. This visor comes without insignia but would easily be restored. This is a nice example of a uncommon Kriegsmarine crusher style visor from a desirable maker in the good size 57!

Textbook M40 single decal Luftwaffe helmet in good used condition. The helmet is marked SE66 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet is named Fu. Pohl with Fu. most probably indicating Funker. Nice, issued example in good condition!

Extremely scarce, pre war, Waffen-SS officer equipment belt and buckle set. The belt and buckle have always been together, both the belt and buckle are RZM marked. The buckle is marked RZM ᛋᛋ 35/36  indicating production by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid in 1935 which is one of the earliest production runs. The belt itself is marked ᛋᛋ 1/36 RZM which also leads to production by Overhoff. The belt and buckle have been specifically made for eachother; the prongs are on the loose part, and the buckle itself does not have prongs but is sewn directly into the belt. Most of the buckles I have seen on in collections or forums have the prongs attatched to the buckle itself, this is a rare variant specifically made for and factory attatched to this leather belt. The hanger is a variant which has a elongated square, flat piece of metal just like the normal belt hooks for enlisted men. The buckle and the belt have always been together and show a very nice, natural light patina. The belt and buckle have been worn but only lightly. The finish to the buckle retains up to 99% and would be impossible to upgrade. The length of the belt can be adjusted between 95 and 110 cm which, in my opinion, is the perfect mannequin size. A textbook, matching belt and buckle set that would be a top shelf piece in any buckle collection – I am sure you will be hard pressed finding a comparable example!

Textbook Silver German Cross or Deutsches Kreuz in Silber manufactured by C.F. Zimmermann, Pforzheim. This is a very early Deutsches Kreuz in Silver by Zimmermann, marked without any maker’s identification beneath the pin or clasp known as a ‘heavy’ variant. It remains in superb condition, exhibiting minimal wear on the swastika and wreath. The reverse side displays a typical patina, and the cross is entirely untouched, retaining its original state. This early example is of great interest due to its characteristic Zimmermann components, such as the directly soldered catch, faint indications of the typical 11 o’clock flaw, and a distinct date design. It was acquired by a British soldier and is part of his wartime souvenirs, including his identification tags. Most of the weighty early DKiS examples are usually attributed to Godet or Deschler. This variant is exceptionally rare and of exceptionally high quality, making it a true premium item!
