SOLD ITEMS

One of the rarest accessories to any Wehrmacht artillery piece, for sure always missing! These lanyards with a pullweight where attached to the breech of the gun to create a safe space between the breech and the gunner. The breech would fly back with a high velocity breaking anything in its path such as limbs. Firing a artillery piece live without one would result in heavy injuries. The weight is nicely marked bzo indicating production by J. F. Kayser, Maschinenfabrik, Nürnberg-O. For sure one of the rarest items I’ve had to offer!

A very nice pre war double decal M40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked Q66 indicating production by Quist with the lot number 3301 which falls clearly within the range of Quist helmets made for LW, Heer and SS. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The helmet is a very early factory repaint with another layer of apple green paint with a set of decals. Look at the close ups of the decals to see the silver decal remains under the right hand decal. Stunning and in my opinion typical example of a SS to Police reissue helmet. The right side of the helmet has clear traces of silver flakes under the paint. Inside the helmet is a pencil written name Sievert. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 95%. A very nice M35 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

A nice original Luftschutz gladiator type helmet in very good, near mint condition. The original decal still retains up to 95%.

Bakelite Wehrmacht issue morse key for use with radios and field phones. Nice piece in good working condition!

M40 Heer Feldbluse in good worn condition. The feldbluse has been slightly tailored at the waist, but retains all of its privately purchased insignia. The jacket has some moth damage. The collar had NCO tresse removed at some point. The jacket is a nice M40 Feldbluse for a nice price!

A stunning original Tan straight E-tool cover with E-tool. The cover is nicely marked fuq 1943 indicating production by Cottbusser Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel K.G., Cottbus. The cover is in good original condition with supple leather without any issues. The Shovel is matching to the cover and marked REX 1943 indicating production by Schwarzwälder Unternehmen der Schmiedetechnik, Baiersbronn – Friedrichstal. The E-tool is nicely matching to the cover and fits nicely without stress. A stunning set and very hard to upgrade!

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. 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.

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked 43 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 5387 and has nice clean wooden grips and its original leather frog. The bayonet is in very good and matching (!) condition.

A very nice original combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42 marked TIGER Solingen. The knife is in good sharp condition and has been issued, and not cleaned or sharpened post war. Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!

Rare pre war fuze setting pouch marked J. Ensch &Co. Ohrdruf 1934. The leather is in good, supple condition.

This “Mica Wirtschaftkasten” was one of the most luxuous pieces of private purchase pocket litter. This set was commonly gifted to sons going to war, bought by officers or bought at barracks stores. This kit basicly had all the items a soldier would need to keep clean and organised. The Mica is a basic set of period personal items and was designed to fit inside the M31 messkit.

A very nice 6×30 Dienstglas complete with strap and bakelite rain guard marked bmj indicating production by Hensoldt u. Soehne, Mechanisch-Optische Werke AG, Wetzlar . The binoculars are in good clear condition with the rangefinder or Strichplatte still retaining in the right reticle. The binoculars are named and unit marked to 8. Kompanie 544. 544 possibly refers to Infanterie/Grenadier regiment 544. A nice named piece in good condition!

Untouched British MKII helmet dated 1938. Hard to find these pre war MKII helmets in good, untouched condition.

A very nice late war M31 Kochgeschirr marked MKL 40. The messkit is in great condition and still retains up to 95% of the factory paint. This maker mark is only scarcely encountered!

Stone mint reversible Splittertarn parka trousers. No damages or holes and most if not all of its originally sewn buttons. Interesting detail is the pocket lining made out of Sumpftarn. Best reversible parka trousers I’ve ever had to offer!

A original short handled pioneer shovel with carrier. The shovel and its carrier are both in very good original condition. The shovel carrier is nicely marked marked evg 43 indicating production by Max Oswald, Lederwaren-und Reiseartikel-Fabrik, Karlsruhe. These short handled shovels where what the pioneers carried into the field, the long handled shovels have the same blade but are originally meant for vehicles. The short handled E-tool comes with the original presstoff cover in very good condition. These short shovels and their short covers are very hard to find!

Rare Presstoff map holder and plotting board. Typical construction marked with Waffenamt and 3106.
