A textbook Heer M40 single decal helmet marked NS64 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The helmet is complete with its original liner and chinstrap that are original to the helmet. The liner and chinstrap is original to the helmet and in good light used condition. The chinstrap is full length, supple and marked. The liner is named to Adolf Kurczyk. The helmet retains up to 75% of its original factory paint and 95% of its period lacquered decal. All in all a very nice helmet in very good condition.

Stunning untouched Luftwaffe staff car pennant for 1.Kompanie Luftnachrichten regiment 12. The pennant is in good used condition and retains its full original celluloid cover bordered in grey leather. Very nice example that would be hard to upgrade in this untouched condition!

Textbook late war MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouch in good used condition. The pouch has hard to read markings but is a typical example as made by E. Leuner, Bautzen in 1944. This type of pouch was made in webbing construction with webbing loops and straps with square metal tips. This type of pouch was issued to the Heer, Luftwaffe and Waffen-SS. This is one of the hardest to find pouches in very good combat used condition that would be hard to upgrade!

Rare reversible parka in reversed Splittertarn pattern. The parka is in good worn condition with several small depot style repairs and a period modification where the hood was removed. The parka retains most of its originally sewn buttons. The colours are vibrant and strong. A very rare late war parka in a rare pattern!

Incredibly rare original orange bakelite canteen cup. This is a rare opportunity to buy original orange bakelite canteen cup. This example was certainly MPD code marked just like the other examples but the markings are completely faded because of the time in the ground. The MPD code F7/K which was once present indicates production by a still unknown maker and the usage of urea resin (which is a certain type of Bakelite) with an organic filler material. The bakelite surface is affected by the time in the ground and thereby lost its smooth surface and its marking. The cup only has some minor discolorations which could probably be cleaned some more. Beautiful original and very rare example!

This cup was found in Berlin recently together with 12 complete and 5 damaged cups. They were dug up underneath remnants of a concrete floor together with other canteen cups and butterdishes. In 15 years of collecting I’ve only found one example for my personal collection: this is only the second time I’ve been able to acquire one. I have kept 3 cups for my personal collection, other then these there are no other orange cups on the market that I am aware of. Rarer then most Knights Crosses: this is probably the rarest item I have had for sale in the 5 years that fjm44.com has been online!

Rare original MP38 u. MP40 manual in good and complete condition. The manual describes the parts, use, drill and firing and maintenance on the MP38 u. MP40. There are many interesting subjects described inside with a interesting added Merkblatt 95 which warns against the dangers of the first pattern MP38 and MP40 bolt without bolt safety and the general treatment of the MP. The manual is a rare example; much rarer then the K98 variant.

Beautiful US Army HBT camouflage jacket. These jackets were issued with trousers to troops in Normandy as a trial with the second armored division. The jacket is a nice medium size fitting most modern mannequins.

Textbook, combat worn US tanker jacket for a Technical sergeant in the 4th Armoured division. The jacket is a salty and worn example with tears in the material, repairs and stains.

Rare white winter camouflage smock in unissued condition. This smock is made in Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt and retains its original factory paper tag. The smock is unit marked IR16 indicating Infanterie Regiment 16.

Typical Luftwaffe ‘Hartmann’ pilots flight jacket. These jackets were favoured by fighter aces and pilots over the normal heavy flight jackets. They were often adorned with insignia and awards as can be seen on this example. The jacket is a small to medium size which is typical but retains its period sewn award loops to the left breast. The right breast and shoulders have been adorned with a Bullion breast eagle and a set of shoulderstraps for a Feldwebel. Very nice original Hartmann Jacke in very good condition!

A nice issued pair of Luftwaffe M40 trousers. The trousers are a nice mannequin size and still retain most of the nap on the wool. There are a few surface moth nips on the bottom which is normal for these garments after being stored for so long. A great pair in lightly worn condition that would look great on a mannequin!
