Textbook 1943 dated coconut canteen in good used condition. This is the second pattern variant with the less frequent strap closing with a roller buckle and steel reinforced holes in the strap which is in textbook configuration with the bakelite cup! The canteen is nicely marked HRE 43 which indicates production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen in 1943. The stud on the bottom has been broken of at some point and has been repaired by a small two way stud. Overall excellent and textbook coconut canteen in good used condition!

Nice late war manufactured M31 breadbag in good, used condition. The breadbag shows wear and has a lot of character to it. The breadbag is marked on the middle strap with an RBNr. but this is completely unreadable. Nice used example!

Very nice “tropical” M31 breadbag in very good but combat used condition. This example is nicely marked M. Forker, Wilthen 1942, which is a well known manufacturer of the darker green tropical rucksacks as well. The breadbag has been named on the back but this has become unreadable due to wear. Excellent example!

Extremely rare M45 camouflage jacket in the experimental late war Leibermuster camouflage pattern. Textbook, original example with all details you’d like to see on one of these jackets. The flat, non reinforced collar without hooks, the straight horizontal front pockets with pleats on the bottom seam going both ways, aluminum smooth buttons on the front and paper on the sleeves, square reinforcements at the armpits, drawstring and of course comes without back seam. The jacket is sewn from a loosely woven HBT or Drillich material sewn with single and double needle sewing machines. The jacket is in very good, lightly worn condition and would be a iconic yet extremely scarce piece in any collection. These jackets are rarely offered on the open market and it is a good opportunity to acquire a top rare piece!

Untouched Heer M43 field cap with period sewn trapezoid. Out of all the M43 field caps I have sold through the years; this is by far one of the most interesting ones. The cap is in untouched, as found condition and has not been cleaned. Interestingly enough; the cap has a set of three Gefreiter chevrons sewn inside the peak of the cap as a reinforcement. This is a wartime modification and retains the same wear and grime as the rest of the cap. Another interesting wartime modification is a repair to the top button which has lost its ring but has been resewn through two holes punched in the centre. There is some moth damage to the back and the side of the cap, otherwise it’s a great study object.

Heer issue signal whistle made from horn and wood complete with its original field grey lanyard in slightly used condition. Many commands where given with whistles during combat and the use and recognition of the different signals was something most soldiers would have known. Very hard to find Heerissue whistle which would compliment almost every NCO/CO combat display.

Waffen-SS BeVo cap skull in used condition. Hard to find as a spare!
