SOLD ITEMS

A nice and untouched set in good condition. The leather straps are all supple. The carrier is nicely marked OaZ 43.

These straps where issued to MG crews and assisted in carrying the MG34 and MG42 ammunition boxes. The material is strong and in good used condition. These straps are hard to come by and would display nicely with a pair of ammunition boxes.

This flag was manufactured by a company in Amsterdam in 1940 shortly after the Germans invaded. Nice large flag sized 100 x 150 cm.

Hard to find leather straight E-tool carrier in unissued condition. The leather is plyable and complete with all straps. One of the better early carriers I’ve been able to offer.

A nice original early high pair in good worn condition. A great pair for a mannequin!

When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer or barrel carrier to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Every MG team had one or two spare barrels in spare barrel carriers with their field equipment. The MG34 barrel carrier is in very good condition with 90% of the original tan colour remaining. The carrier was once overpainted in blue grey over the original tan factory paint. The carrier is nicely marked beq 1943 indicating production by Framo-Werke G.m.b.H., Hainichen/Sachsen. The carrier is complete with its original LUX marked strap and in very good condition. One of the rarest spares to find for the MG34!

This is a stunning Soldbuch grouping from 4. Flakersatzabteilung 6. member Heinrich Janssen (born in Düsseldorf), who was among other units in 1942 part of Flak-Regiment Hermann Göring! The Soldbuch grouping also comes with his photo album and dress bayonet.

Unteroffizier Janssen served with several interesting Flak units during the war such as Flak-Regiment Hermann Göring in 1942. The last of those was the II./Flak Regiment 22 which was later renamed II./Flak-Sturm-Regiment 22(mot). He served with the 8. Batterie, which was equipped with 8,8cm Flak guns and was fully motorized. This regiment was subordinate to the Flak-Sturm-Regiment 3 which was part of the III Flakkorps under the command of Pickert. It was deployed between Amiens and Arras in France before the D-Day landings in Normandy. After the landings the unit was sent to Normandy in a hurry arriving a few days later. They where deployed between the Orne and Vire rivers, supporting the ground units and engaging the Allied airforce. And at the end of the Normandy fightings the III Flakkorps provided a significant role in covering the withdrawal of the German forces in the Falaise gap. The unit later retreated to northern France. Unteroffizier Janssen must have seen quite some action in Normandy. The Soldbuch lists the following awards; Verwundetenabzeichenn in Schwarz on 12.9.44 and Eisernez Kreuz 1 and 2 14.9.44. He was severely wounded as he was hospitalized in Hersfeld which is also photographed in the album. A great Soldbuch group to a Normandy veteran who for sure saw heavy action!

The grouping comes with a nice album with 87 photographs with many private shots of 8,8cm flak guns and the famous Sdkfz. 9 Famo halftrack. A great group that would be a great base for further research!
