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!

A nice Belgian made Waffen-SS flatwire cap eagle in mint, unused condition. These Belgian made examples are made slightly differently then their German counterparts and a interesting variation. A nice and rare Belgian made Waffen-SS flatwire eagle!

In very good condition and very nicely marked with maker and year. These holsters where intended for a range of 7,65mm pistols such as the PPK and HSC. A nice mint holster!

A nice used condition Waffen-SS Oak zeltbahn, with most if not all originally sewn buttons. Nice colours!

A very nice P38 holster marked jwa 4 indicating production by Moritz Stecher, Lederwerk, Freiburg in 1944. The holster is in mint condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice Pelzjacke, as used by many members of the Heer and Waffen-SS in the eastern front. Missing one button,  but otherwise in very good condition, great for a mannequin!

A nice late war bwz marked horse gasmask bag in mint unissued condition. Rare to find in this condition, nice for a cavalry or equipment display!

A very nice latewar messkit or Kochgeschirr made by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke in late 1944 or 1945. The marking RBNR. 0/0657/0001 was a latewar substitute for AEM.A. which is usually stamped on items from this maker. This messkit is finished with enamel and after that painted over before it left the factory. A lot of paint still remains on the lid and the RB number, covered by this paint can still be seen. The messkit has one small hole in the bottom but retains 90% of its original enamel finish.

A truly uncommon and interesting latewar messkit!

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 without damages. The boots are a nice mannequin size (30).

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