Clear mapcase insert in good used condition. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place.

Mint A-frame pouch marked E.G. Leuner Bautzen 1940. Impossible to upgrade!

Excellent pre war equipment strap in a beautiful brown colour. The strap is nicely marked Henseler & Co., Ulm 1935(!) and features a unit stamp: 12./G.J.R. 100 I (12e Kompanie, Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 100). Typical pre war example with high quality leather and aluminium hardware. Hard to find 1935 dated example with a unit mark from a sought after regiment!

Nice large capacity canteen intended to carry gasoline or “benzin” as was part of the Luftwaffe survival kit which was carried onto all types of plains! The canteen is marked ESB 43 which indicates Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1943. Sadly the black painted font has worn off but the canteen is still clearly recognizable by the yellow paint!

Original death card to SS-Panzer-Grenadier Karl Reil. He was KIA on the west front on 26.12.44 and died at the very young age of 17,5 years old. Depicting the information from his death card it’s sure that Karl Reil participated in the Ardennes Offensive as he is buried in Recogne/Bastogne.
