Scarce original Luftwaffe issue survival Machete. These where issued with the bigger planes together with a survival kit containing flares, rations and other items. The Machete is in used but good condition complete with its original blade.

Superb US M1 helmet with the rare first pattern St. Clair helmet liner in near mint condition. The rare type first pattern St. Clair liner of this helmet is featured in a book which I can highly recommend;  M-1 Helmet, Pieter Oosterman, 2007 (pages 146 and 148-149 of the 2007 Limited Edition and pages 154 and 156-157 of the 2010 Schiffer Edition). The liner is a textbook example with full rayon suspension and square washers. The shell is a textbook M1 McCord fixed bale example with early cast raised brass buckle. The shell is marked 218A. The helmet is a very nice example that would be very hard to upgrade. Surely one of the rarest liners to find, especially in this condition!

Stunning Panzer or Panzerjäger officers visor in very good near mint condition. The visor retains its bright pink wool piping with its originally attached insignia. The wool is in very good condition with 99% of its fluff with minimal surface moth grazing and one small damage to the piping on top. The cap is a small size and retains a original folded newspaper underneath the sweatband. The cap is a stunning and textbook example that would be very hard to upgrade and nicely marked Panzer Regiment

Rare original vintage Jacket, jumper, working, Denim, Blue, QM Spec 6-125 in unissued condition. This is a very rare 6-125 denim work pullover jacket with two large rectangular patch pockets on the chest. The buttons are marked U.S. Army.

The 6-125 Jumper was a loose-fitting pullover with a three button half-placket front that ended in a pointed bottom. It had a falling collar and split cuffs closed by a single button. The coat had two large, rectangular patch pockets on the chest. These pockets had no buttons or flaps, and were “side opening”: the entrance to the pocket faced inwards towards the placket and buttons. The buttons were made of zinc and were cast with the letters U.S. Army.

 

A central piece of the German pagan culture; the Yule candle lantern or Julleuchter. A typical lantern that was lit on the midsummer solstice, midwinter solstice and Jul, the pagan Yuletide intended to replace Christmas. These are very rare as most were damaged or destroyed postwar. These lanterns were to be found in the homes of many SS members and are one of the most well known third reich era objects. Rare original example in very good condition!

Very nice and original M40 Heer ex winter camouflage overpaint helmet.

Johannsen. The helmet retains up to 85% of its external paint and 70% of its period lacquered decal. All in all a very nice and rare helmet in very good condition. The liner is named but also feldpostnumber marked 46842 indicating a railroad unit which is very hard to find!

Textbook US M1C paratrooper helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 90% of its reissue paint. The liner is a textbook late war Westinghouse paratrooper example. The chinstraps are factory sewn to the swivel bales and have never been replaced.

Rare small M42 helmet marked Q60 indicating production by Quist. The helmet is a rare size 60 example which are nearly as rare as the size 70 helmets. The helmet retains the lot number 490. The helmet retains most of its factory finish and decal and would be hard to upgrade.

Unique US Airborne scrapbook for the 506 Parachute Infantry. This very example belonged to LT Col. Charles Chase which was a personal gift for his father. The scrapbook is in good, somewhat used condition but retains its original paper cover which is virtually always missing! Unique scrapbook from one of the second highest officer serving in the 506 PIR!

Beautiful, near mint Waffenrock set for a Feldwebel der Infanterie. The uniform set comes with full wartime applied insignia and is a matching set with its stone grey, white piped trousers. The white gloves were found with the set and are a hard to find attribute!

Stunning Q68 Luftwaffe double decal M35 helmet. The helmet retains up to 95% of its factory paint and decals, with its originally mounted size 60 liner and chocolate brown strap. The helmet is in very good untouched condition and has several white dust specks which could easily be cleaned with a damp cloth without harming the helmet if desired. I however quite like the finish and would advise against it. The helmet is a great example of a exceptionally large sized Luftwaffe double decal helmet in very good untouched and as found condition!

Stunning and uncommon Luftwaffe reissue helmet. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its original non-reinforced liner and LBA marked chinstrap in great condition. The helmet is a typical but rare Reissue example with a rough overpaint masking the pre war blue paint and decals. The rough reissue overpaint is topped off with a decal and naming in the skirt of the helmet. The helmet is unit marked to 1. Kompanie Flak Regiment 29 5. Batterie inside the dome and underneath the leather. The helmet is named to Oberstleutnant Krichler in the skirt of the shell.  The helmet would be a very nice base for further research for Oberstleutnant Krichler which is a very high rank! Very hard to find a Luftwaffe reissue helmet, this is the first and best one I’ve seen!

A very nice pre war double decal m40 Polizei helmet. The helmet is nicely marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke Thale with the lot number 1031. The helmet retains its original factory installed liner. The original early borderless Polizei decals still retain up to 90%. A very nice M40 Polizei helmet that would be a very nice addition to any helmet collection!

A nice original pair of green MP38 u. MP40 magazine pouches marked CLG43 in good condition. The pouches are marked CLG 43 indicating production by Ernst Melzig Lederwaren, Liegnitz. The pouches are undamaged bu the leather closing straps on the front have some surface cracking. The leather is smooth and supple otherwise and would not hurt displayed on a mannequin or display. Excellent unissued pair!
