M42 Feldflasche by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke, Annweil. The canteen is a late war (M42) type with a enameled steel body and cup. The cup is the last model without the handles and solely a small loop for the strap. The brown leather strap is a two piece M42 type with a buckle without roller. The cover is made out of gaberdine and has 3, not 4, grey painted press studs. The canteen is in very good condition. Possibly one of the rarest canteens to find!

A stunning battle damaged M35 double decal helmet marked ET64 indicating production by Eissenhuttewerke Thale. The helmet retains both of its original decals. It was struck by a bullet on the top that probably knocked out whoever was wearing this helmet. The helmet was kept by the individual soldier as a souvenir and was found in a household clearing in Germany, 2 years ago. A stunner!

A well worn tunic for a Oberleutnant in Infanteriegeriment 64. A custom tailored tunic with handsewn details. The insignia are handsewn to the tunic and show the same aging as the tunic itself. Stitching of the bottom of the swastika is a bit loose but firm, but no serious damages to be noted. The tunic is a snug medium fit that would be a nice base to display awards.

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!
