ET66 M40 Heer Ex whitewash three-tone camouflage helmet in good condition. The helmet is a interesting example which was repainted multiple times. Starting its life as a standard single decal Heer helmet it was subsequently repainted in a winter whitewash which was later overpainted in a three-tone spray painted camouflage pattern. The helmet was at some point coated with a clear lacquer. The helmet is a nice example with a large portion of its wartime three-tone camouflage pattern showing.

Untouched M42 camouflage helmet recently found in a barn in Zevenbergen, The Netherlands. The helmet was found last december when a farmer cleared his barn in Zevenbergen and listed this and 4 other helmets on a Dutch online selling platform. Other items found where 4 helmets and 40 cases of 7,92 ammunition. The helmet was picked up short after the battles around Zevenbergen around the Moerdijk bridgehead. The helmet has a bullet or shrapnel damage to the back of the helmet which is embedded in the front of the helmet. The interior of the helmet is corroded which is a typical feature for a KIA helmet. The liner has partially rotted away due to bad storage and blood soaking. A typical KIA helmet with provenance to the Netherlands which would be hard to upgrade.

M35 Heer helmet in two tone camouflage marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet received two wartime overpaints on top of a double decal Heer factory finish.

A completely untouched original Heer M43 field blouse for a Obergefreiter in a Infanterie unit. The tunic is in great nearly unworn condition. The tunic is complete with all of its period factory sewn insignia, a set of white piped infantry shoulder boards and a period handsewn Obergefreiter rank insignia. The tunic still retains 99% of its fluffy nap and shows little to no wear. This tunic has not been tailored or shortened and still retains the clean combat look. The tunic retains all of its period sewn buttons. Inside the tunic we can see a ink stain under one of the breast pockets. Most probably left by a pen in the breast pocket. Inside the shoulders it is noticable that this tunic hung in a closet on a hanger which left its mark on the lining. The tunic is a medium size which displays best, imo. Finding a totally untouched tunic like this is very hard and replacing or upgrading would be hard. This would be the centre point in a late war equipment setup!

Extremely scarce, original, SS-Totenkopf marked K98 bayonet marked WKC indicating production by WKC Waffenfabrik G.m.b.H., Solingen-Wald.

These bayonets were ordered by the SS in the 1930’s and there are 3 pieces known in collections known today. Extremely scarce piece that hardly ever comes onto the market.

A stunning Heer M41 EM Feldbluse in unissued condition. The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by machine. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out and has only one modification that is that two seams at the back waist have been taken out to make some more room in the waist. This was most probably done because the soldier became well-fed. The garment retains up to 99% of the wool fluff. One button on the shoulder is replaced. This is really a stunning and textbook EM M41 tunic in near mint condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet is a very early factory repaint with another layer of apple green paint with a set of decals. Look at the close ups of the decals to see the silver decal remains under the right hand decal. Stunning and in my opinion typical example of a SS to Police reissue helmet. The right side of the helmet has clear traces of silver flakes under the paint. Inside the helmet is a pencil written name Sievert. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 95%. A very nice M35 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!
