SOLD ITEMS

A rare pair of French prewar Y-straps reworked for use in the Wehrmacht. These Y-straps can sometimes be seen on original pictures, easily identified through the riveted ends near the O-ring on the back. These Y-straps are rare to find in very good condition like this. This is the second pair I’ve ever encountered!
A rare pair in very good condition, a great addition for the specialized equipment collector!

A very nice 1934 dated M1910 Kochgeschirr in near mint condition.

A nice late war Tool pouch for the MG34 and MG42 machinegun. It is made out of the late war Pressstoff material and is in good condition with all internal fittings and leather straps. The leather is nice and supple and the Pressstoff is nice in colour. A rare late war pouch in good, lightly used condition!

A very rare “Carbon Overprint” zeltbahn in very good condition. The zeltbahn still retains its bright and vibrant colours. It is nicely marked 0-0150-0058 which refers to a certain producer in Cottbus, Brandenburg. It is dated 1945. It has two small repairs an is missing one grommet. It’s complete with most if not all the originally sewn buttons. After the capitulation of the Italian army in 1943 their camouflage printing rollers and uniform/equipment stocks where captured and brought back to Germany. It was then that the first Zeltbahnen of captured Italian camouflage material (Telo Mimetico) where produced. Also some experiments where done combining Telo Mimetico with Splittertarnmuster. This is known to collectors as carbon overprint and consists of a base of the brown base colour Telo Mimetico printed in carbon ink overprinted with Splittertarnmuster. This is a extremely rare variation intended to camouflage against infrared light.

A nice original short gasmask strap with a wire hook, hard to find spare!

A beautiful though unusual M31 zeltbahn that has been made without the grommets at the corners for the tent poles and ropes. This was done later in the war to further save on raw materials. This is the first time I encounter a Splitter zeltbahn like this without grommets. The zeltbahn has a very nice and strong colour contrast and looks to be in unused condition. There are  one or two minor oles in the fabric but overall it looks bright, as new!

A rare late war M31 Zeltbahn !

A superb late war canteen marked AEMA 43 indicating production by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke, Annweil. A nice late war canteen in very good condition, very hard to upgrade!

A great original buckle in the rare transitional variant with the eagle facing the left. The buckle is in mint condition. The left facing buckle was only made between January and March 1936. A rare and desirable buckle that is a must for every buckle collector!

A very nice late war M42 helmet marked EF66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke A.G., Fulda in shell size 66 cm. The Helmet still retains up to 95% of its original textured fieldgray paint. These helmets where issued to all branches in the German army. The helmet complete with its original liner and chinstrap. This helmet is in very good condition and would be very hard to upgrade!

A nice original holster in supple chocolate brown leather for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol. Nicely marked clg 4 indicating production by Ernst Melzig, Lederwaren, Liegnitz. Somebody stamped a Luftwaffe eagle inside the holster, this was in my opinion done postwar. A nice original holster for the P35(b). FN High-Power pistol!

A nice black leather holster in good used condition. Ink marked on the inside of the flap P35(p). This Radom VIS P35(p) holster was found in Liège.

12 nice pressed paper buttons as used on shirts, tunics, camouflage smocks, reversible parkas and many other garments. Rare buttons to find and all in good usable condition! Free shipping!

20 gray Italian buttons as factory applied on late war German Zeltbahns, Italian camouflage coveralls, Erbsentarn Keilhosen and many other garments! These bakelite buttons are all in great condition and have a nice deep gray colour. I have a few sets available.

A great light gray camouflaged helmet in good untouched condition. The helmet retains up to 90% of its wartime camouflage paint. The helmet retains its original liner and (shortened) chinstrap. The helmet is brush camouflaged with a light gray texture paint. The helmet is named to Bleiber.

The helmet is a one-looker with lots of character!

A very nice 1942 dated gasmask and canister. The mask and canister are both named to Rohe in 3./Bi.45. The canister still retains up to 90% of its original factory paint. A very nice canister in very good condition complete with everything it should come with. Rare to find nowadays in this condition!

A nice BeVo cuff title of the 8. SS-Kavallerie-Division Florian Geyer. The cuffitle is still in the full length and has BeVo Wuppertal nicely embroided in the end. Florian Geyer is nicely readable and nice to display. The edges show its tunic removed condition, a row of small stitches can be seen. The cufftitle might not be mint but is original and rare to encounter!

A truly stunning tropical camouflage K98 bayonet in uncleaned and very nice condition. Very hard to upgrade with most of its original tropical camouflage remaining!

A interesting document grouping to a volunteer in the DRK or Deutsches Rotes Kreuz. The Erkennungsmarke matches to the one noted in the book.

The grouping consists of all the photographed items. The last couple of photos show a few other documents that came with the grouping but are of a different woman. Maybe they are related but I’d hate to split the group.
