SOLD ITEMS

A very nice mint condition Fallschirmjäger bandoleer marked Anton Kiefer 1942. The bandoleer is in very good unissued condition with all press studs and pockets in tact. Hard to find original Fallschirmjäger from the maker Anton Kiefer !

A nice pre war Reichswehr belt buckle in strong used condition. These buckles where issued until the Heer buckle with swastika was introduced. A few wore these buckles throughout the war but they are hard to find in good used condition like this!

A very rare white bakelite butterdish in good condition. Orange and black butterdishes are relatively easy to find, but the white bakelite butterdishes are very rare!

A very nice matching set marked FBCM 42 indicating production by F.R. BURBERG & CO. A-G. METTMANN-SOLINGEN. These where issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items!

A nice original Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet. The helmet is marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale and has a non reinforced, 19378 dated size 58 liner. The helmet retains its original Kriegsmarine decal and is still in a dusty untouched condition. The helmet was repainted 2 or 3 times during the war and had two, not one decals applied. If you look at the closeup you can clearly see the overlaying of the decals and the clear golden feathers of the Kriegsmarine decal, not to be confused with a toned Heer decal. The national or tricolor decal was removed wartime, as per regulation. The helmet still retains most of its tan and green spray painted camouflage. The rivets are, like the liner, original to the helmet and have not been removed.

The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap which are original to the helmet! The lot number in the helmet is 3678 and according to the lot number reference by Brian Ice it is exactly as it should: M35 ET66 3678 DD KM 37NRAB BS.

The helmet has a lot of patina and makes a great display piece, hard to find a original Kriegsmarine camouflage helmet!

 

 

A very nice Luftwaffe M31 breadbag marked Ernst Melzig, Liegnitz 1941 with matching strap. Hard to find one matching with the strap in good condition. On the inside the initials P.W. are marked. A typical Luftwaffe M31 Brotbeutel in great condition!

A late war Waffen-SS Soldbuch to Heinrich Hunsinger a member of 5. SS-Ausbildungs Abteilung. The soldbuch has all the pages as far as I can tell and has some interesting information, worthy of further research. The soldbuch has entries between 1944 and 1945. A nice and original late war Waffen-SS Soldbuch!

A nice original Y-strap in good used condition marked RBNr. 0/0156/0013. The Y-strap is a late war type with a late war backstrap with the “wire” hook. It has a post war Czech depot stamp underneath one of the auxiliary straps. The strap is a nice supple and complete example, typical as issued to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

A very nice unissued K43 / G43 ammunition pouch marked CNY44 indication production by C. Pose, Wehrausrüstungen, Berlin. The pouch is a nice variation in brown leather.

A small brown bakelite soap container as issued in the Wehrmacht. The container still retains the original soap that was found in it. The soap container is in nice uncleaned “as found” condition.

A very nice and large wartime map of the Ardennes region. La Gleize, Bastogne, Houffalize, Bertogne Cobru and many other important Ardennes offensive battlefields are on it. The map is in very good condition and still is because it was archived for the Belgian army postwar. There is a small blue stamp on the back indicating that. But you can’t see that on the front of course!  A desirable original Wehrmacht issue map of the ardennes region in very good condition!

This breadbag has seen a lot of action and has many period repairs to make it serviceable again. A lot of equipment pieces where repaired like this during the war as the Germans never threw anything good away. A interesting breadbag in strong used condition.

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This Italian messkit is the best one I’ve ever seen!

A nice original Gebirgsjaeger rucksack in very good condition. The rucksack has a few small holes and a name on the top and strap. It is nicely RB numbered on the back and the leather is all in very good condition. A nice sturdy rucksack!

In very good, supple condition. Nicely marked LBA(S), maker marked and dated 1938 (hard to photograph) and aluminum fittings.  Hard to find a Chocolate brown Luftwaffe frog!

A beautiful k98 made by Mauser AG, Oberndorf. Unlike many others this one has not been re-issued postwar in other countries. It is not reblued, rechambered or restamped. It is in original condition and comes complete with the original strap. The k98 is completely matching but the stock. This was often taken of for maintenance and since this was often done in groups it is a common thing to see these mismatch to the rest of the rifle. The K98 is complete with all the accecoiries one would encounter on these rifles. A sight hood, cleaning rod, sling and barrel cap are all together with the rifle. Other then the stock it is completely numbered 3826. Finding a K98 that did not have a postwar army life without alterations these days is very hard. Nowadays most K98’s on the market have been tampered with. This would make a great addition to any German display!

This rifle has been deactivated according to the Dutch law and can only be purchased by Dutch citizens older then 18 years of age. It comes with the original certificate of deactivation.

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

A extremely rare pair of M33 EM/NCO Reichswehr marching boots or Schnallenstiefel. These where discontinued in 1935 but still in use in the early stages of the war. Many pictures of the invasion in Czech, Poland, the Netherlands and France show these boots in wear. The leather is in very good supple condition and has a few period repairs. The boots are a nice average size. I will include a pair of wartime laces with these boots.

A truly rare pair of boots in good used condition, very hard to find!

A stunning salty grouping to a Leutnant in a Nachschub unit. Read the full description to see what is in this exciting grouping that was found in Belgium with as a centre piece a period converted EM Drillich tunic!

A rare late war pulling strap for the cargo bearing snow sled or Akja. These straps where most probably also used to pull other light devices such as Infanteriekarren. The strap is made from late war woven rubber or Ersatz material. The rope is sadly broken but that does not deter for the rarity of this item!
