Original short leather strap for the leather, bakelite and Pressstoff Dienstglas cases.

Beautiful pre war K98 ammunition pouch in stone mint condition! The pouch is nicely maker marked Karl Kuhne, Lüdenscheid 1937.

Stone mint condition which would be almost impossible to upgrade!

Typical foreign made EM shoulderstraps for Heer troops. These straps are most probably made in Belgium or France. There is also a possibility these started out black being SS EM shoulderstraps; as I have observed before in this exact construction here.

A very nice matching pair of early red coloured wool piped shoulderstraps for a Unteroffizier der Flak Artillerie. The backing of the straps are a little different but it seems to be a original matching set!

Original grey Heer EM/NCO collar tabs or Einheitskragenlitzen as first issued in May 1940. These collar tabs were factory sewn to all Heer EM/NCO field blouses right until the end of the war. Although these were general issue; finding original examples is quite hard. One pair only!

Rare Heer single decal M35 helmet marked SEst64 in near mint condition. The helmet was offered to me directly through a veteran family and has never been in a collection before. The helmet is marked SEst64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet marking SEst64 was only manufactured for a very short period in 1936! The reinforced liner is original to the helmet and the chinstrap is nicely marked R.Z.f.H. 1942. The helmet still retains 95% of its original Pocher decal and factory paint. The helmet is truly one of the Heer single decals M35 helmets that I’ve seen out there and would be a crown in any helmet collection. Simply a textbook M35 with extremely rare SEst markings – for sure the best one on the market today!
