A stunning original three-tone Normandy gasmask canister with its original straps and mask. The mask is nicely named to Stabsarzt Dr. Koch , L. 17900, Hbg. 1  . The canister still retains its bright camouflage colours and a Feldpostnumber inside the lid L17900 referring to the following units:

17900
(Mobilmachung-1.1.1940) Stab Reserve-Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 
268
(15.7.1942-24.1.1943) Stab Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 268

(24.3.1944-6.11.1944) 9.10.1944 Flakscheinwerfer-Regimentsstab 171 
(v).

Flakscheinwerfer-Abteilung 268 was moved to Koningsberg late 1944 in which it saw fierce battles.

Great late war MG34 and MG42 tool pouch in unissued condition. The pouch does not have any internals which is exactly how this model should be. The pouch is in very good, never used condition!

A very nice battle damaged gasmask canister in good as found condition. A nice display piece!

A very nice 1940 dated canteen in very good condition. All the parts are nicely marked L&SL 40 indicating production by Linnepe & Schiffer Metallwarenfabrik, Lüdenscheid. A very nice canteen in very good condition!

A nice bakelite container for carbide for the Wehrmacht issue lantern. In good condition without any damages!

A extremely rare complete spare parts set for the bakelite carbide lantern. It is complete with everything it should have, which is very rare. Most of these spare parts sets where either stripped after the war, retain in heavily used or incomplete condition. This one still has all the spare parts including tools, rubber rings and the manual.

Can’t be upgraded!

A very nice matching canteen with the parts nicely marked FWBN 44  indicating production by F.W. Brockelmann Aluminiumwerk GmbH KG, Neheim/Ruhr. The flask is marked 43 and the other parts 44 indicating production early January 1944.

Hard to upgrade!

A very nice, near mint, untouched single decal Heer M42 helmet complete with its original liner and chinstrap. The helmet is marked ET62 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke, Thale and has a size 55 liner. The helmet fully retains its original Heer decal and is still in a dusty untouched condition. The helmet has a lot of nice dusty patina and makes a great display piece.

Can’t be upgraded, imo!

This sketchbook, first brought out in 1942, features many drawings and watercolours of the German artist Hans Liska. Liska was a artist born in 1907 and drafted into a Propagandakompanie in 1939. He illustrated his war and bundled his sketchbook in his Skitzenbuch. The book is a great pictorial reference to the war with many stunning and fascinating illustrations. This book is a great item for the collector with an eye for aesthetics or art. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking of this stunning bundle of wartime images!

A very nice M43 EM/NCO field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. The cap is nicely marked 0/2009/0004 which refers to “Almi” Unlform- u. Mützenfabrlk. lnh. Alfred Miss, Luxemburg , Herstellung v. Uniformen und Mützen aller Art dated 1944 and in size 57 which is a great average mannequin size. The cap has all the details that one would like to see on one of these textbook caps! The BeVo trapezoid is originally sewn to the piece and has never been removed from the piece. Finding a cap like this is very hard, especially in nice used condition with originally sewn insignia.

A very nice pioneer handsaw in good used condition made by Marke Steigo in 1941 and etched by a veteran as a bringback. The brown leather scabbard is nicely marked  Lederwarenwerk Curt Vogel Cottbus 1940. The saw is in good condition with all the teeth intact. The saw still functions great! The handle is missing a small portion of the wood but this is something I see at most of these pioneer saws. I think it has to do with the bayonet is positioned direct next to it on the equipment belt. This pioneer saw comes with the textbook brown leather scabbard dated 1940. The saw would make a awesome addition to a pioneer display and is really in very good condition!

A nice one looker original M35 normandy camouflage helmet with battle damage on the rim. The helmet retains most of its spray painted three tone normandy camouflage on top of a rough brush applied re-issue paint. The helmet has a battle nice battle damage from a bullet or shrapnel on the rim. The helmet is early but has a later liner which makes sense since it is a re-issue helmet. The helmet retains its original split pins covered in camouflage paint. The strap has been added to the helmet in my opinion. The helmet has nice patina and a Heer decal clearly showing through the camouflage paint!

A nice camouflage helmet with battle damage!

A great set of original buttons for a Heer or Luftwaffe M43 field cap or Einheitsfeldmütze. Rare buttons to find and all in good usable condition! Free shipping!

A great set of original buttons, enough for a set of M43 trousers or Keilhosen. Rare buttons to find and all in good usable condition! Free shipping!

A very rare, pre war Reichswehr period breadbag marked F.W. Rosentum  and dated 1934. This is the earliest breadbag I’ve encountered so far, let alone in mint condition. Very hard to upgrade!

A great original set of shoulder boards intended for a Soldat or Grenadier (EM) in a Infanterie or Grenadier unit. The set is slightly mismatched but found and worn together. A nice set in very good used condition.

A very nice condition late war M42 Tuchmantel in unissued condition. The mantel is a rare variation made from captured Italian wool. Great for a Battle of the Bulge mannequin. The mantel has a few moth nips here and there but looks very fresh and mint. Very hard to find and upgrade.

A nice and honest P.08 Luger holster in good condition. The leather is all nice and supple and the holster shows signs of being worn in the war. A nice Luger holster in good condition!
