SOLD ITEMS

Hard to find in used condition. Nice original A-frame messkit strap. A A-frame in used condition is easily found, but finding a matching used strap is hard!

A fantastic third pattern paratrooper jump smock or Knochensack in combat worn condition. The smock is complete with original factory sewn breast eagle on a Grünmeliert base and all originally sewn buttons. The smock was a war trophy to a US soldier who brought it home after the war. After that it has been in a single collection for a very long time. The garment is in uncleaned, unaltered condition which is a rare condition to find. There are some small holes and two, in my opinion period “depot” repairs with zigzag stitching. The inside of the smock has some stains in various tints of brown. The press studs are lightly rusted or in working condition. Two of the zippers are in working condition, two are damaged through time. On the back portion a small 3 is stamped, inside, on the back of the left top pocket a faint RBNR can be seen. The size is a medium, which would fit most old hindsgaul mannequins easily. Other then the mint condition smocks on the market or those without insignia, this one is a actual battle worn smock that still retains the character of war. The smock is a perfect example of a smock that saw action.

A nice pair of shoulderstraps for a eastern volunteer in the ROA or Russian Liberation Army. These where worn by “volunteers” who joined the Wehrmacht as early as directly after the opening of the Ostfront and the invasion of Russia. Their numbers grew to a staggering 0.5 million in the end of 1941 only to grow bigger during the duration of the war. These Russian troops where stationed all over the third Reich; a mere 20.000 where captured by the Americans in the weeks after D-day. The shoulder boards are in very good, only lightly worn condition. Found together!

Perfect pair of Heer/Waffen-SS gaiters to be worn on top of the M37 lowboots. Hard to find in this condition without major rust on the buckles. All straps are nice and supple.

A stunning matching pair of rayon piped Waffen-SS shoulder boards with late war dark grey Tresse. The straps are in mint condition and are ranked to the NCO rank of Unterscharführer in a Pionier unit. Scarce to find stunning matching original pair!

A superb, near mint example of a Fliegerleuchtpistole L. These flare pistols where used by flying personnel of the Luftwaffe on missions. Nicely marked fzs 1942 indicating production by Waffenfabrik Heinrich Krieghoff, Suhl. The gun can fire two flares, the left, right or both at the same time. 

The flare pistol is in good working condition and free to own anyone older then 18 in the Netherlands. I will not and can not export this piece outside of the Netherlands.

A nice two tone luftwaffe camouflage helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original two-tone camouflage paint. On the left side of the helmet the Luftwaffe decal can clearly be seen through the camouflage paint. Interesting to see is that this late war helmet has been made on a “monday morning” and has the rivet and vent holes misaligned by a few centimeters. The helmets shell is a nice size 64 with its original size 57 liner. The helmet is full of character and patina. A great camouflage helmet priced competitively!

Nice short gasmask canister in wartime Luftwaffe field repaint. The canister retains up to 90% of its wartime field applied Luftwaffe bluegray paint. Hard to find Luftwaffe gasmask!

A textbook Heer single decal M42 marked ckl64 indicating production by Eisen- u. Huettenwerke, Thale, Harz. The helmet retains its original paint for 80%. The helmet is complete with its original liner and chinstrap, as found. Inside the liner Leadbeater was written by the veteran who brought it back. A nice untouched M42 helmet!

Nicely marked gpt 1943 indicating production by Gustav Bittner Werke. The gun can fire two flares, the left, right or both at the same time. Hard to upgrade piece, surely the best flare gun I’ve owned so far.

Hard to find pre/early war MG34 carrying sling in very good condition.

A nice original Steel tabbed Kriegsmarine belt buckle marked Dr. Franke & Co 1941. Tabbed steel Kriegsmarine belt buckles are hard to find and this one is in good, used condition!

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. 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 to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!
