SOLD ITEMS

Nice original Heer M38 Heer sidecap in very good condition. The cap retains its wartime sewn insignia and leather reinforcement. The cap is a good size 56.

Beautiful mint condition combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially: Infanteriemesser 42. The knife is in good unsharpened condition and has beautiful clean wooden grips. Beautiful stone mint example which would be a perfect addition to any combat mannequin or focussed knives/bayonets collection!

A perfect pair of issue riding boots or Reitstiefel. The pair is in mint unissued condition and retains all of its wartime applied hobnails and heels. This mint pair would be perfect for a cavalry or combat officer display!

A very nice hooded Heer M43 Wachmantel. The Wachmantel is a nice medium size. Many of these overcoats where issued and used a lot during the Ardennes offensive. The overcoat has a few moth holes here and there but shows only minimal use. It is a very nice M43 Wachmantel in very good condition!

A very nice late war Waffen-SS belt buckle marked RZM 155/40 ᛋᛋ  indicating production by Assmann & Söhne, Lüdenscheid. A nice combat worn example of a original Waffen-SS belt buckle in its original finish!

Stunning untouched Luftwaffe field repaint gasmask canister complete with its originally attached straps and gascape. The gasmask and its case are nicely named and ID’ed to Franz Boeser with the Feldpost number 44960 indicating the following units; 44960
(30.7.1941-28.2.1942) Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe Triest,
(8.9.1943-22.4.1944) 26.1.1944 Nachschub-Leitstelle der Luftwaffe
6/VII.

His unit was most likely disbanded in 1944 and reformed into a Felddivision. Franz Boeser is not listed on the Volksbund archive indicating he most probably survived the war. The typical green camouflage paint externally covering the gasmask surely indicates this. The canister is a great example of a typical Luftwaffe issued gasmask, complete with its untouched accessories which is very hard to find these days!

A nice pair of Gebirgsjäger boots in good used condition with a pair of original laces. The size is a nice average size, not too small or big. A nice pair to finish a mannequin with!

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 95% 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!

A very nice original Laufschützer 43, a barrel carrier designed to carry both the MG34 and MG42 barrels. The barrel carrier comes with its originally attached sling in full length. The paint still retains up to 90% on this piece and it would be very hard to upgrade this piece. Most barrel carriers on the market have replaced slings, been repainted or even stripped and blued postwar. This one is a fully untouched late war example in very good original condition!

A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite which is hard to capture in image but even more vibrant in hand. The knife is in good sharp condition and has been used and issued! Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!

Scarce late war mint riveted Y-strap complete with rucksack in a set, as issued together. Both pieces are marked RB-Nr. 0/0766/0004. Very hard to find a matching rucksack to a Y-strap.

A very nice pair of shoulder boards for a Waffen-SS Hauptsturmführer der Infanterie. The shoulder boards are nicely bordered with white wool indicating Infantry. A Hauptsturmführer being a officer serving on the front lines with the men it is really nice to see this set in salty and obviously combat worn condition. Exceptional set.

A very nice near mint example of a original close combat clasp in bronze marked FEC. W.E. PEEKHAUS BERLIN AUSF. A.G.M.u.K. Gablonz. The clasp still retains up to 99% of its original bronze finish and would be very hard to upgrade.

Very nice tabbed aluminum Heer belt buckle by Gebrüder Gloerfeld, Lüdenscheid which is one of the rarest heer belt buckle makers. The buckle retains up to 85% of the original factory paint and would be very hard to upgrade.
