A superb large sized Heer M41 EM Feldbluse in good, lightly worn condition. The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The early style breast eagle is period factory machine sewn. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out because it shows little to no wear. The garment has not been shortened or tailored. It has a set of two period sewn award loops on the left breast pocket. The Ostmedaille ribbon is hand sewn but in my opinion it is added to the piece. The tunic comes with a nice set of early M40 style wool piped infantry EM shoulderstraps. The garment retains up to 95% of the wool fluff and is near mint. This is typically the rarest type of Heer Feldbluse that would be very hard to upgrade!

A stunning Heer M40 EM Feldbluse in mint/unissued condition. The tunic is not shortened or restored in any way. The grey Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by hand. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining. The tunic comes with a set of wool piped M36 type EM infantry shoulder straps  in mint condition that have been with the tunic. The tunic is missing the bandage pack which is neatly removed, not visible from the outside. This is really a stunning textbook EM M40 tunic in mint condition!

Stunning single decal M40 DAK camouflage helmet in good used condition. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original camouflage paint and its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is marked Q66 indicating production by Quist. The liner is nice size 59 and tight and original to the helmet.

Rare original Küstenartillerie or coastal artillery visor with he gold chinstrap for for the rank of Admiral. Excellent example in good worn condition with loads of character.

Rare, combat worn pre war Panzer wrap dated 1937 with unit markings to Panzer Regiment 15. The wrapper is in strong worn condition and has a number of wartime modifications to the collar by ommitting the piping, slightly shortened waist and added internal cuffs. The wrapper would be a ideal restoration base!

A stunning original Waffen-SS officers service tunic in very good condition. This is the perfect base for a restoration. The tunic is a textbook Waffen-ss type officers service tunic and does not show any signs of Heer insignia ever being applied. The ghosts and traces of the SS insignia are easily seen; a sleeve eagle, collar tabs and a cuff title. The garment retains a pair of neatly sewn Waffen-SS shoulder boards for a Untersturmführer Panzer/Panzerjäger. The tunic is a small to medium size but would be a very good base to restore. These tunics are very hard to find as most are either restored as SS or wrongly as Heer.

Excellent original M35 Luftwaffe double decal helmet marked SE68 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet comes in the large size 68 which is one of the rarest sizes.

Exceptional named and early pre war 1935 dated M35 double decal Heer helmet marked NS66 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The skirt of the helmet is bears the lot number E10 which is one of the lowest lot numbers I’ve encountered. The non-reinforced early pattern Schuberth liner is dated 1935 on the band ánd the round marking on the leather. The helmet retains its originally attached liner and chinstrap marked G. Schiele Loburg 1937. The rim on the helmet is the typical early production with the hand rolled rim. The rear skirt of the shell retains multiple unit markings. One being 11./J.R.10 indicating 11. Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 10. The other marking is also named to Oberschütze Panitz 5./J.R.101. Both these units took part of the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940. The helmets exterior bears two Heer decals with the national three-color partially period removed as ordered in 1940. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory paint.

The helmet was recently recovered in household clearance in the area of Dresden which perfectly matches the unit marking inside the skirt. Infanterie regiment 10 was renamed into Infanterie Regiment Dresden in 1935. The helmet has never been in a collection before – very hard to find a real early war combat helmet like this one which both survived the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940! A perfect helmet for a 1940 combat mannequin, this helmet is really a nice textbook example of a pre war combat helmet, this helmet has it all!

Rare original ZF4 ddx marked ZF4 scope with the original matching numbers though damaged mount. The scope is in good useable and adjustable condition. Nicely maker marked ddx indicating production by Voigtlaender u. Sohn AG, Braunschweig. The scope is numbered 61949 as with the mount. The mount is a original example maker marked 359 indicating production by Walther. The mount retains the original bands which has one tear but otherwise intact. The bottom slide rail is damaged. This makes it impossible to firmly affix it to a G43. Ofcourse this can be restored by a skilled metalworker. Otherwise the price reflects this; undamaged mint examples range between 3700 and 5500 euro. So if you’re looking for a nice display piece that doesn’t break the bank but is fully original; this is it!

Stunning Q64 M40 three-tone camouflage helmet with vivid colours. The helmet is nicely marked Q64 indicating production by Quist. Textbook Normandy three-tone camouflage pattern helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original three-tone Normandy camouflage and is one of the best specimens I’ve seen so far. The helmet retains its original liner and chinstrap. The liner and its three matching pins is original to the shell which is obvious through the overpaint that is in the inner rim of the helmet which also covers the top of the liner band. The split pins retain remnants of the camouflage paint but are mostly bare due to their base material. This is a typical treat to the early nickel coated split pins. They are however original to the helmet! The helmet is really a great example of a Normandy camo helmet and would be very hard to upgrade. If you are looking for a stunning great condition three-tone camouflage helmet – this is it!

Stunning original M18 helmet in vibrant three-tone Normandy camouflage pattern. The M18 retains up to 90% of its original wartime applied camouflage paint with strong vibrant colours. The helmet shows signs of decals under the camouflage paint.

This helmet is a spectacular example of a three-tone camouflage on a reissued world war one helmet. The helmet looks to be size 66 shell. These reissued world war one helmets can be found from time to time, but this is one of the only ones I’ve ever seen in three tone camouflage! A stunning helmet that would fit in most if not all camouflage helmet collections!

Arguably one of the best gasmasks I’ve ever had the pleasure to offer to the market. A excellent original camouflaged gasmask canister in untouched condition with field made Italian camouflage cover, named to SS-Panzer Grenadier Walter Worofka. The gasmask was found in household clearing about 10 years ago in Houthalen, Belgium. The canister retains its original field applied two-tone camouflage finish up to 75%. The gasmask canister was found with a well worn field made cloth cover made out of Italian camouflage material which fits snugly around the canister. The canister and the cover show the same untouched patina with wear and tear. A marching order to Andernach is signed by a SS Obersturmführer und stellvertr. Batl.-Führer with the Feldpostnummer 11150 A indicating SS-Panzergrenadier-Regiment 1 – Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler. This is a exceptional opportunity to purchase a piece of history that would be a nice base for further research; surely
