A nice early war album from 1939 to 1941 showing many interesting details from the 1939 and 1940 campaigns. Places of interest photographed are the Ostsee, Feldherrnhalle, Ieper (Menin gate, Lakenhalle), Paris, Crashed Stuka, Dunkirk, Mons, Wevelgem, burned out British vehicles and Borkum beach. There are around 200 photographs period affixed with corners in the album.

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb 44 which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Original brown K98 carrying sling in good used and supple condition.

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Rare original Flemish made steel Hitlerjugend belt buckle in unissued condition. The buckle is a typical, Flemish made example with the tell tale silver paint with soldered catch and a typical non-RZM quality overall. There is discussion about the manufacturer of these buckles but the design and finish of these buckles is typical for the Flemish production for me. These buckles where recently found in the former Hitlerjugend recruitment office in Brugge, Belgium. Of 26 buckles found I have the opportunity to offer you several examples. There will not be a restock of these buckles as the source is empty.

Nice original M38 gasmask together with its original canister marker moa 44. The mask itself is a nice green canvas variant and the canister comes with its original periodically attached straps. Nice original complete gasmask with canister!

original winter fur vest (Body-warmer) or Pelzjacke in strong used condition. These Pelzjacke were very popular by many members of the Heer and the Waffen-SS on the eastern front. The winter fur vest or Pelzjacke comes in a good size which would fit almost every modern mannequin. Notice that there are no repairs present on this jacket, everything is as it is when it left the factory. Most likely made out of multiples pieces of left over fabric. Nice original and interesting example!

Great looking and slightly worn textbook US M1 helmet liner produced by Firestone. The exterior retains around 98% of the dark green factory applied finish. Overall a nice untouched and desirable liner to complete a combat set.

Textbook WWII issue Distinguished Flying cross in its original issue case. Complete with ribbon and pin, impossible to upgrade.

Textbook late war original German helmet chinstrap in good used condition. Made out of unusual brown “natural” leather. The long strap has been a bit shortened but it still has enough length to close properly! Hard to find as a spare!

A very nice original lightweight Y-strap as issued and used by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer). Beautifully dated and marked M. Thielermann, 1942. The Y-strap is in near mint most likely unissued condition!

Exceptional Patronenkasten 34 ammunition box for the MG34 machine-gun. This case is in minty condition with over 99% of its original field grey factory applied paint. The case is marked brc 41 which indicates production by Fr. Weber & Co., Berlin in 1941. Lovely detail is that in the lid of the case the name Gardner is scratched into the paint. These cases are exceptionally hard to find in this condition and this is for sure the best one I’ve found yet!

A nice pair of Sanitäter pouches by produced by W. Homann Berlin. The pouches are complete with their original paper labels which are often missing.

A rare pair of French prewar Y-straps reworked for use in the Wehrmacht. These Y-straps can sometimes be seen on original pictures, easily identified through the riveted ends near the O-ring on the back. These Y-straps are rare to find in very good condition like this.

A rare pair in very good condition, a great addition for the specialized equipment collector!

Excellent, untouched British MKII helmet in very good condition. Textbook example with 90% of its factory paint remaining.

Matching stitched K98 ammunition pouches marked 0/0267/0001. 

Beautiful and textbook 1940 dated example with stunning vibrant colours. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its originally applied buttons and ropes. The Zeltbahn is nicely marked Pionier Faltbootwerft und Zeltfabrik Bad Tölz 1940(!) A second marking is also present reading: 1. 40 FÜ. which is most likely a unit marking.
