SOLD ITEMS

Textbook early war manufactured M31 Zeltbahn in excellent condition. This is a typical early example with aluminium hardware. The Zeltbahn retains most if not all of its factory applied buttons and still retains a very nice and bright colour scheme. The Zeltbahn is ink stamped but this has sadly became unreadable, it seems to be dated 194?. Very nice early example!

US Navy Mark 1 knife by Colonial in very good used condition.

A stunning speckled brown bakelite 6×30 binocular case. Later in the war when the Germans ran out of pigment for bakelite they switched over to different fillers. Sawdust was one of the filling materials used, creating a interesting speckled finish. The brown bakelite dienstglas containers where mostly found with tan 6×30 binoculars. It seems to be that the front spring assembly and the hooks at the side have been repainted. The case is in very good, undamaged condition and has a very aesthetic and vibrant light brown colour which would nicely attribute a late war uniform setup.

Dutch NSB photo grouping ‘Vormingsdag NSB en NSDAP te Utrecht’. Original envelope with contact sheets from the NSB Fotodienst. The photographs are clear and have great details. These photographs were a part of the NSB photo archive.

Textbook early steel MG34 ammunition case in very good condition. The case retains up to 90% of its factory finish and all of its handle reinforcements. Excellent piece that would be very hard to upgrade!

Excellent M31 canteen in very good condition. The canteen is marked HRE 41 / HRE 42 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen, the difference in the dates is IMHO a factory mismatch made in early 1942 with left overs from late 1941. The cup features initials on the top which reads: R G, which could be the initials of a first and last name. The straps are made out of pebbled leather which is rather unusual for an early 1942 manufactured example. Very nice example!

Heer EM M40 pattern shoulderstraps for a Unteroffiziersanwarter der Infanterie.

Late war one piece Luftschutz gladiator helmet without decal. The helmet retains its factory installed liner!

Very nice tropical issue Rucksack in stone mint condition. The rucksack is made out of green canvas and is nicely marked M. Förker, Wilthen 1942. Very nice example!

Textbook Luftwaffe issue chocolate brown coloured mapcase in excellent condition. The mapcase is nicely marked on the inside as well as on one one the belt loops E.G. Leuner, Bautzen 1938. The mapcase is nicely marked L.B.A.(S) which indicates this mapcase was issued to and accepted by the Luftwaffe! The mapcase features a very interesting unit stamp as well: J.G. I./134 1938 which indicates this mapcase was issued to 1. Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 134 in 1938 located at Horst Wessel (Airport Wessel) which played a significant role in propaganda. In time the Jagdgeschwader 134 was renamed to Zerstörergeschwader 26 which participated in a lot of the well known air battles such as: The battle of Holland, The battle of France, The battle of Britain, The battle of Russia, Etc.
