SOLD ITEMS

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 good supple condition and the soles are really unworn. The boots are a nice average size that will fit most if not all mannequins. A truly rare pair of boots in good condition, very hard to find!

Rare original 12. SS-Panzerdivision Hitlerjugend cufftitle. These cufftitles were first issued in September 1944 to the veterans of the fierce Normandy battles. One of the men who were issued one of these was Otto Funk, and as mentioned in post war interviews he was also issued a document with his cufftitle. Where this document and his cuff are at this moment, is unknown. However having seen this document with my own eyes I am describing this as it is widely unknown who did, and who didn’t wear these cuff titles. Highly probable is that other members of division were issued these cuff titles after the September 1944, but this is the only story I could actually verify. This is a very, very rare original cufftitle that would be very hard, if not impossible to upgrade in this uniform removed condition.

A textbook M42 canteen which is in almost mint condition and looks unissued. The canteen is nicely marked MN 43 indicating production by Menesa Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar. Very nice detail is the cup which is green in the inside as well!

A very rare and mint pair of shoulderstraps for a Unteroffizier in the Grossdeutschland division. Rayon piped in red for Sturm- Artillerie and would be a great pair for any tunic or wrapper. Very scarce pair in great condition.

Late war Heer M31 Splittertarn Zeltbahn in good used condition. Textbook late war example!

A truly stunning combat relic; A authentic Q66 M40 single decal Waffen-SS three-tone camouflage helmet with battle damage. One of the rarest helmets in any helmet collection would be the Waffen-SS camouflage. Extremely scarce to obtain, especially in large sizes, even rarer with a name and battle damage. This unmolested example is in uncleaned/untouched condition and retains its original liner and partial chinstrap. The camouflage paint to the exterior which was immatucally painted around the decal remains up to 85%. The original decal also remains for approximately 85%. The helmet would be a key item in any camouflage collection and would be near impossible to upgrade. Extremely scarce piece!

Nice original US Garand cartridge belt

Stunning paper document and picture grouping to ᛋᛋ-Unterscharführer Heinrich Laspe who served in various SS units such as Wiking, Westland and Götz von Berlichingen. Drafted in 1940 but transferred to the Waffen-SS early in 1941. Heinrich Laspe fought in the begin and during the Russian campaign as a member of Wiking 4./ᛋᛋ A.A. 5 s.Gr.W.Zug or 4. Kompanie ᛋᛋ Aufklärungs Abteilung 5. Laspe took the time to write down most of 1941 and 1942 in great detail. In addition to these written testimonials there are over 180 pictures illustrating his time in the Waffen-SS. Laspe is seen in many of the pictures of which a lot show awards, guns, buildings, camouflage uniforms and other interesting things. The picture set alone would be a great base to a book or further research! The grouping additionally comes with a portrait made in Paris in 1944 and a manual for the Gr.W. 34. The grouping has two award documents to Laspe, one Verwundetenabzeichen and one for the Nahkampfspange who he both earned during the battles in Normandy with Götz von Berlichingen. Also it comes with a period made birthday card that reads; Die Besten glückwünsche zum Geburtstag gefeiert an Der Invasionsfront. A great grouping with loads of interesting pictures from the front lines, a exceptionally stunning set!!
