Rare original Waffen-SS camouflage smock in Oak leaf or Eichenlaubmuster in good used condition marked 329 in the left spring pocket flap. The smock is probably the last model of camouflage smock to be developed for the Waffen-SS. These smocks where made from a narrower bolt of material as used on the ‘4-Panel’ Zeltbahns constructed with separately sewn corners. The material used is very thin, if you hold it against the light you can look through it which reflects the late war ‘quality’ the Waffen-SS was dressed with. These smocks where most probably made between 1944 and 1945. The condition of the smock is with wear; there are a few small damages and some of the stitching is damaged. The smock retains the full original tunneled elastic but is no longer functional. I have seen a couple of mint examples of these smocks; but this is the first actually worn example I’ve seen. If you’re after a rare Waffen-SS combat worn Eichenlaubmuster camouflage smock; this is it!

Original rare and untouched MG42 barrel carrier or Laufschützer 42 marked cpa43 indicating production by Ostertagwerke, Vereinigte Geldschrankfabriken AG, Aalen in Wuerttemberg. The barrel carrier is a textbook example for the MG42 barrel and comes with the factory attached sling and up to 80% of its original tan factory paint. These barrel carriers are hard to find in original untouched condition as most of them wound up being repainted and reissued postwar. Hard to upgrade untouched piece!

Extremely scarce original Waffen-SS Panzer crew member trousers in smooth Erbsentarn camouflage fabric. One of a handful known in the collector community; this is the pinnacle of collecting camouflage items of the utmost rarity. The trousers are in very good, IMO lightly worn condition. The garment retains all but one factory sewn buttons. There is a small period handsewn repair to the back of the seat, otherwise it’s undamaged. Both leg tie straps are intact as is the internal belt and the inside pockets. The trousers are in a good, medium to large size fitting most modern sized mannequins. The garment is marked 393 which is the only known maker for these trousers in this material and a typical Waffen-SS manufacturer code. There are some light paint stains on the trousers which don’t distract too much of the vibrant and contrast-filled colours of the Erbsentarn pattern used in the construction for these trousers. A rare opportunity to purchase real Waffen-SS camouflage Panzer trousers in smooth(!) material!

I usually don’t post items to the top; but this one deserves a spot next to the Black SS Panzer wrapper!

Rare original Tan painted vehicle rear light. These Notek lights were issued for all Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS vehicles but most if not all where lost or removed and destroyed post war. This is truly an item what can normally only be found as a faked post war example, a dugup example or simply not available. To top it off it doesn’t look to have any damages AND it still retains up to 99% of its original factory tan paint. Rare vehicle part that would be very hard to find another of!

Textbook German helmet chinstrap in good, close to mint condition, most likely unissued. The chinstrap is nicely marked ftb 44 which is a rather common maker for chinstraps but is still an unknown maker. Beautiful close to mint late war example which is hard to find as a spare!

Excellent pair of felt overboots or Wachstiefel with a wooden sole which was intended for use by guards which had to keep guard for several hours straight in arctic temperatures. These type of boots were widely used on the eastern front, mostly issued with Charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large size 31 which translates roughly to a modern EU 44. Both boots are nicely marked Herm. Müller, Hariha I. Sa. 1943. The pair is in unissued and close to mint condition which would look perfect on an eastern front mannequin!

Late war unissued Zeltbahn in Waffen-SS Oak camouflage. The Zeltbahn is nicely made up out of different colours of camouflaged material, typical for a late war manufacture. What makes this zeltbahn rare is that its of a late war “4 panel” construction. The material is stunning and vibrant and looks like the day it was made. There are some small repairs as photographed! A unique late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn with reversed colours most probably made in 1945!

Excellent changing mitt/pad which has been invented and issued with the MG34 / MG42 tool pouch for changing the overheated barrels of the machine guns. This example is in very good condition and is very hard to find as a spare to complete the tool pouch!

Rare original Flemish made steel Hitlerjugend belt buckle in unissued condition. The buckle is a typical, Flemish made example with the tell tale silver paint with soldered catch and a typical non-RZM quality overall. There is discussion about the manufacturer of these buckles but the design and finish of these buckles is typical for the Flemish production for me. These buckles where recently found in the former Hitlerjugend recruitment office in Brugge, Belgium. Of 26 buckles found I have the opportunity to offer you several examples. There will not be a restock of these buckles as the source is empty.

Incredibly rare single paratrooper grenade bag in Splittertarn B camouflage. The bag was issued in a pair, sewn together but at some point was used as a single bag. The zipper is marked Rapid and fully functional. These bags are very rare to find with a handful of sets remaining in very good condition!

Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

A pair of non-reversible parka trousers in Sumpftarnmuster camouflage fabric in good used condition. A nice large size 3 in good untouched condition.

Nice original transitional US M1 carbine pouch marked HOFF 1943 in very good condition.

Stunning untouched, bright and vibrant M40 camouflage helmet marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet was originally found in Boxmeer, the Netherlands in this, current condition. The helmet retains its vibrant and colorful camouflage pattern with red, green and brown with its original Heer decal peaking through the paint. The liner retains its factory fitter liner named Fritz Schmidt with a unit denotification. The helmet is a excellent example of a late war camouflage helmet found in the Netherlands.

Matching lightly worn original pair of Waffen-SS NCO shoulderstraps for a Unterscharführer der Panzergrenadiere. The shoulderstraps are well executed and show the textbook mid war M40 construction one would expect. The straps are in very good, lightly worn condition and would easily match to a worn tunic. The straps feature the typical tresse and green rayon piping. These straps are the lowest NCO rank for sure seeing lots of action on the front line. A very nice matching pair that is highly sought after and only scarcely encountered nowadays!
