Rare original German reversible winter parka recognition sleeve armbands in unissued condition. These sleeve armbands proved useful on the eastern front where the German and Russian winter camouflage uniforms looked alike and men needed to be able to tell friend from foe in seconds. These armbands can be worn with the dark or red side outwards and are made of screen printed red fabric. Scarce opportunity to buy a original set of recognition armbands!

A very nice original Luftwaffe combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser. This is a very rare example which is not marked with a typical Luftwaffe Waffenamt but with a “W” on the blade! The knife is in good sharp condition and has never been issued, cleaned or sharpened post war. Perfect rare example which would be a great addition to any combat mannequin or a focussed knives/bayonets collection!

Beautiful and very rare canteen made by the Dutch company VerBliFa (De Vereenigde Blikfabrieken) during the German occupation. The canteen is in used but still good condition and isn’t damaged in any way! VerBliFa (De Vereenigde Blikfabrieken) was the main manufacturer of the Dutch pre 1940 army mess kits, canteens and other stuff, these items were made in the exact same way. Stamped sheet metal and then tinned! Most of the examples are found in The Netherlands as well. The canteen cup is missing a lot of its shiny silver coloured finish. The canteen and cup are both unmarked which is often the case with these Dutch produced canteens. Maybe one of the rarest variant of the M42 canteen there is, and for sure one of the best canteens I have ever offered!

Rare original white winter camouflage smock marked Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt. The smock is in unissued condition and in a good medium to large size. Rare to find original winter garment!

Rare original SS-Obersturmfuhrer collar tab in used condition. The tab is a typical EM/NCO example in bevo that has been period upgraded.

Unissued Heer buckle, with in my opinion added but period, leather tab. Rare, first pattern Heer belt buckle in mint condition. The aluminum buckle retains the full silver wash to the front and back and would be impossible to upgrade.

Excellent combat used second pattern USMC M1 helmet camouflage cover named Horan. Nice salty example with vivid colours and loads of character!

Rare original Tropical motorcyclists coat or Kradmantel marked Thiele & Co München. The garment is in very good, near mint condition and would be hard to upgrade.

Rare French M1915 Adrian helmet with period affixed insignia for the airforce. The Adrian De L’aviation of this Adrian range of helmets is one of the rarest branches to find!

Impressive Heer Panzer photo album with many large and clear photographs showing many great details!

Excellent combat worn M40 Heer issue mantel. The mantel features a period sewn rank insignia on the left sleeve for an Obergefreiter. Buttons are nicely marked with the number 4 which most likely indicates 4e Kompanie. The mantel is made by Reitz and is a nice large size which will easily fit a mannequin!

Rare SS-Totenkopf Nachrichten Ersatz abteilung Erkennungsmarke or ID Tag.

These Y-straps are made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. This Y-strap is a beautiful example of the equipment that was made in Litzmannstadt. In contrast to most encountered Litzmannstadt manufactured Y-straps this example is in combat used condition. Excellent example!

Leather straight E-tool carrier, in very good condition. Pre war example in excellent condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

Original Waffen-SS collar tab for personnel in the 22. SS Freiwilligen Kavallerie Division Maria Theresia.

Second pattern tropical Heer pith helmet in very good condition.

Very combat Pioneer rucksack in excellent condition. This is the rarest part of the set from three pouches/bags! Looking at the the construction and the usage of materials which includes captured British webbing I would say that this example has been manufactured in Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt!
