Stanzwerk, Schwarz & Co., Zwintschona-Halle) and named to W. Bauer, the kettle itself is marked HRE 40 (Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen) and is nicely named to Gerhard Noack, Leipzig N25.

Excellent late war manufactured K98 ammunition pouch in unissued, mint condition. The pouch is clearly marked RBNr. but this is hard to read or photograph. Textbook late war example in mint condition!

US 48 star flag

One of the last Luftwaffe pattern rucksacks produced; around 1943 the late war ‘M44’ pattern rucksack was developed for all branches. Rare to find with RBNR markings!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0350/0152 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Typical and rare late war example with a simplified wire skeleton hook on the back strap. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent and rare to find MG spare bolt box for the Lafette 42. The box is made out of steel and has a few bits of paint still left on it. This is the 3 type spare bolt box which could contain both the MG34 as the MG42 bolt but has only been observed in use on the Lafette 42. These boxes are rare to find in good condition without being messed with post war!

Rare original FF33 field phone connector cable in good condition. Originally all field phones where issued with these and they are virtually always missing!

Original brown leather K98 sling featuring the textbook embossed checkered pattern in good condition.The sling seems to feature no markings but this can easily be faded. The pip is made out of brass which indicate early/pre war production!

Nice original German ID disc or Erkennungsmarke marked 7./Sch. Fl. Ausb. Regt. 52 which indicates 7e Schwadron, Flieger-Ausbildungs-Regiment 52 wich was stationed in Soissons. In 1942 it was renamed into Luftwaffe-Feld-Division 18. 

Textbook aluminium spoon fork combination or Göffel in good condition. The Göffel is nicely marked GAG 39 which indicates production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. in 1939. Nice example!

Rare field grey Luftwaffe Hermann Göring division shoulderstraps in unissued condition. These late war, unpiped shoulderstraps were issued with the late issue field grey four pocket Luftwaffe M43 field blouse. These straps have no piping which in my opinion is logical. Being of a field grey in stead of a Luftwaffe blue wool, it would be very hard finding shoulderstraps in matching wool colour. In my opinion these were intended for the unit to apply their own piping like the late war piped Hermann Göring collar tabs. The straps are typical late war examples with simplified construction. A similar pair can be found here

Luftwaffe (blue wool backing) Gefreiter chevron in good condition.

Textbook US army issue lighter manufactured by Evans. Typical crinkle paint and complete with both screws.

Textbook Gasplane or gas protection that could be worn in the event of a gas attack. Excellent example in unissued/mint condition. Rare accessory thats a basic component of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS equipment. The construction of the Gasplane and its pouch indicates that this is a late war produced example. Excellent example in unissued condition!
