SOLD ITEMS

Textbook late war 1944 dated gasmask canister in very good condition. The canister is a typical but very interesting, last ditch example without the spring inside the lid, a simplified catch on the closing mechanism and the rubber seal inside of the lid. The canister is made by mkq which is still an unidentified manufacturer. The canister is complete with its straps including the typical short late war ebd 44 marked strap with rubberized reinforcement. Great canister in very good condition!

Textbook Luftwaffe field repainted gasmask canister. The canister externally as well as internally features a most likely field applied blue Luftwaffe overpaint. The canister retains up to 90% of this period repaint, and comes with both its period affixed straps. The canister still has a paper label inside reading: “Sold. Tripolski, Nr. 87”. Excellent example!

Very nice US paratrooper wrist compass by Superior Magneto. Nicely dated and marked. These compasses where also known to been worn over the sleeve, the shoulder loops, webbing, or at the ankle over the jump boots. Wrist compasses were used both by officers and enlisted men. A very nice example that would be hard to upgrade.

Excellent first world war Ersatz bayonet with steel hilt in good condition!

Textbook EM/NCO leather equipment belt in hard used condition. Early example with high quality leather and aluminium hardware. The belt measures 80cm in length and will nicely fit small, older militaria mannequins!

Textbook pair of M37 pattern gaiters in good condition. The gaiters are nicely dated 1942 with the early pattern with leather reinforcements!

Excellent Kriegsmarine cap eagle in good condition. The eagle seems to be cap removed!

Nice original unissued Heer EM/NCO BeVo breast eagle.

Excellent stainless steel fork which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The fork is nicely marked W.S.M. Rostfrei 42 which indicates production by Walter Solbach Metallbau in 1941. As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with an clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!

Stunning M18 transitional single decal Heer helmet. The helmet retains up to 99% of its original finish and decal. The helmet received two reworks; one in apple green with two decals which was reworked around 1942 to ’40 specs with rough textured paint and a ‘mad faced’ Gustav Peiniger toned heer decal. The helmet comes with its original liner and originally attached pre war Czech chinstrap. The helmet had its lugs wartime removed, most probably to save weight. The helmet is a nice example with a very rare decal!

These straps where issued to MG crews and assisted in carrying the MG34 and MG42 ammunition boxes. The material is strong and in very good condition. These straps are hard to come by and would display nicely with a pair of ammunition boxes or on a MG crew mannequin. Excellent example in real combat used example which features some writing as well!

Textbook late war matching Waffen-SS shoulderstraps for a Unterscharführer der SS-Feldgendarmerie. 

Excellent early blackened K98 bayonet frog in good used condition. The strap is nicely marked Albin Scholle, Zeitz 1940 which is a very rare to encounter producer!  The frog was originally brown which can still be clearly seen on the back but due to the new regulations in 1940 it has been blackened.

Uncommon Heer Cavalry Sanitätertasche saddle connector in good condition.

Typical M1 Garand belt in good condition.

Nice original leather Erkennungsmarke pouch in very good condition. Would be easily matched to a Erkennungsmarke in the same condition.
