SOLD ITEMS

Textbook Dutch M33 helmet with period removed front plate. The helmet is a nice and typical example in good used condition. The front plate was soldered onto the helmet but often removed due to myths about it being less bulletproof.  Beautiful and typical example as used in the may 1940 battle in the Netherlands!

Deckungswinkelmesser or Indirect fire calculator made by J.D. Möller G.m.b.H., Wedel. This little device helps to calculate distances and hight differences in terrain. This tool was a issue piece in the mapcase and very hard to find. The Duckungswinkelmesser is in very good condition. The top swivel is a period replacement.

Typical wartime battlefield relic that was picked up shortly after the battles. The helmet is marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale and the helmet retains up to 75% of of both original factory applied decals. The helmet retains a large battle damaged area on top of the helmet showing multiple large cracks. Most likely a explosion was near the helmet which cracked the shell. The helmet no longer retains a liner, chinstrap and rivets.

Excellent world war one Pickelhaube in very good condition. The Pickelhaube is marked PB27 indicating Pionier Battalion 27 and dated 1916. The helmet is a textbook and complete with all components as they should be. Pionier Battalion 27 was under the 31. Infanterie division who fought throughout world war one at the following battles; 1914 Lothringen, Lagarde, Lauterfingen, Nancy, Somme, St.-Quentin. 1917 Stellungskämpfe in Flandern, 1918 Kemmel, Flandern, Maas/Mosel, Mihiel-Bogen. Superb Pickelhaube that would be very hard to upgrade!

Textbook private purchase Luftwaffe equipment belt with droop tail eagle. The belt is a very nice original example in brown leather size marked 115. The belt buckle is a very nice private purchase example with a droop tail eagle front attached with 4 prongs to the box. The belt and buckle where found together and are a nice ensemble that would look great on a mannequin!

Textbook original Erkennungsmarke marked Schw. Flak. Ers. Abt. 37 indicating Schwere Flak Ersatz Abteilung 37.

 

Rare original control box for the lighting of the large Flak Entfernungsmesser. The dial turns nicely, the cable is playable. Hard to find piece that is often missing with most if not all Entfernungsmessers.

Very rare first pattern compass pouch with compass marked W&L.E. Gurley, Troy, N.Y. The compass is in good working condition and the pouch retains its fully working zipper with pull chain. Something nice and rare from the period that would fit right into any US collection.

Rare original world war two period baseball mask. Textbook metal wire cage fitted with padding and straps to the back. Something interesting from the period in good condition that would nicely fit in a personal equipment display!

Typical pre war Dutch M33 helmet reissued by the German army and finished in typical shipboard grey. A typical colour as used by Flak and secondary Küstenartillerie personnel. The helmet is in good condition and is dated 1938.

Single shoulderstrap Heer Infanterie

A nice original Wehrmacht Heer shoulderstrap for Hauptfeldwebel der Infanterie

Stunning example of a untouched Heer infantry crusher, Feldmütze Alter Art or Knautschmütze. These fieldcaps where incredibly popular with officers during the war. The cap is in great, untouched with a great patina all over. The cap can be formed to fit on a mannequin display but is otherwise folded flat as a envelope. The cap is a small size that should fit most modern militaria mannequins. The crusher bears the Waffenfarbe of the Infanterie. These caps are getting increasingly difficult to find and this one is definitely the nicest one we’ve had on offer. A great example!

Superb late war M43 Keilhosen in mint condition. The trousers lack the leg ties but it would be very hard to find a better pair then this one. The trousers are a nice size fitting most modern mannequins and are in stone mint condition. The wool retains the full nap and all of its originally sewn buttons.

A very nice P38 softshell holster marked jwa 4 indicating production by Moritz Stecher, Lederwerk, Freiburg in 1944. The holster is in mint condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A beautiful original holster in supple chocolate brown leather for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol. Nicely marked dla 43 indicating production by Karl Barth, Militäreffektenfabrik, Waldbroehl, Rheinland. This holster would be very hard to upgrade!
