SOLD ITEMS

A very nice original mapcase with its original contents. The front of the mapcase has two battle damages where shell fragments pierced through the outer and inner leather portions. The contents of the mapcase have been replaced wartime and the mapcase remained in use until the end. The mapcase comes with a number of contents such as maps, pencils and a compass. A item with character, as found!

A unique set that surfaced 43 years ago in the Netherlands. These pouches are field made or modified pouches with Kriegsmarine buttons on the front. These pouches where most certainly used by a member of a Küstenartillerie unit. These pouches are certainly not textbook, but unusual, rare and 100% original. Most probably these pouches are locally made where the soldier was stationed. If you collect Küstenartillerie this is the pair for you. I have never seen another pair of these and I doubt I will. A unique set of MP38 u. 40 pouches in very good, used condition.

A nice M31 messkit in good used condition with most of its original paint. It is nicely marked EEF 41 which is a uncommon maker: Ewald Eigenbrod Aluminium-und Metallwarenfabrik, Freiling.

A nice original Zweidorn in good condition. Roughly sized 90 cm!

A nice set of original late war buttons for a complete Heer/Waffen-SS M44 tunic. If you want to put original buttons on a M44 tunic, this is the type you should get. These buttons are all in unissued condition and ready to be sewn onto a tunic!

The set consists of 10 late war “S-ring” buttons only seen on M44 tunics in blue colour. This blue colour is the textbook kind for the Heer and SS M44 button.

Next to that it includes 8 pressed paper buttons as used on the cuffs and internal pockets of the tunic.

A very nice original Laufschützer 43, a barrel carrier designed to carry both the MG34 and MG42 barrels. The barrel carrier comes with its originally attached sling in full length. The paint still retains up to 80% on this piece and it would be very hard to upgrade this piece. Most barrel carriers on the market have replaced slings, been repainted or even stripped and blued postwar. This one is a fully untouched late war example in very good original condition!

A nice M31 messkit marked MN44 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA) in 1944. The messkit still retains up to 85% of its original paint.

A really nice army Einheitsfeldmütze or Officers M43 field cap. The main part cap is constructed from Gaberdine wool and is lined with rayon. The Front of the cap is featured with a brown leather sweatband. The trapezoid is a originally sewn rare green wool backed variant. The cap is sized 57.5 cm, perfect for most mannequins. The cap has a lot of character and is really well made.

 

A nice original belt in mint condition, size 80 centimeters. It is nicely marked 0/0676/0120 and it has the typical late war Blaugrau catch.

A nice and near mint lightweight Y-strap as issued to Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine personnel. Nicely marked Otto Gehrckens Pinneberg 1942.

A original German issued pullover in good condition. These sweaters where a standard issue piece just like the shirts and other uniforms. It is in very good condition and has a few small holes and a stain on the front. Most of these where used up postwar and finding a original one nowadays is very hard to find in good condition.

This sweater was wrapped around a German pistol after the war that was found a few years ago on a attic in the Netherlands. It was then handed into the police which destroyed the gun but the sweater was spared.

A nice minty early M31 Brotbeutel or breadbag in unissued condition complete with strap. Nice with leather reinforcements around the belt loops.

A equipment belt sized 95, nicely marked Wittkop & co, Bielefeld. 1942. A good mannequin size, in very good condition!

A near mint M31 Labeflasche marked OHW 42 indicating production by Otto Honsel-Werke, Aluminiumwerk, Werdohl. Complete with the canvas D-ring, hard to upgrade!

A original Splittertarn camouflage smock meant to be worn over the Feldbluse. These smocks where the first type of garment solely meant for camouflage purposes issued to the Wehrmacht / Heer. Modeled after the Waffen-SS smocks with some differences. The smock is a size 1 and nicely fits most mannequins. The smock is nicely marked RBNR 0/1001/0219 which is a unknown producer but is located in Vienna. These smocks where first worn by members of the Grossdeutschland division. The smock is in used condition with a few small holes. The smock still retains very strong and vibrant colours.

A stunning, rare to encounter smock in good used condition that would be very hard to upgrade!

A original pair of issue M37 Schnürschuhe in good used condition. The ankle boots are in worn condition and retain their original laces. The soles still retain most of the original hobnails and heels. The leather is in good condition but a bit stiff. A pair of wartime issue ankle boots is hard to find!

A early mapcase in good condition with the original contents in as found condition. It comes with a map cover, pencils in multiple colours, a eraser and a pencil sharpener. All items where found with the mapcase. A nice used mapcase with character!

A nice untouched set with a late war unmarked Overhoff buckle. If you are looking for a combat worn Waffen-SS belt buckle with its original buckle this is it.

A very nice original pair of EM/NCO issue jackboots. Nicely marked on the inside with the producer Salamander A.G. a factory that still produces shoes today! This pair is in good supple condition and a nice mannequin size.  The boots retain their issue original soles with all wartime applied hobnails, toe plates and heel irons. Hard to upgrade and perfect to perfect a mannequin with!
