Exceptional named and early pre war 1935 dated M35 double decal Heer helmet marked NS66 indicating production by Vereinigte Deutsche Nikelwerke, Schwerte. The skirt of the helmet is bears the lot number E10 which is one of the lowest lot numbers I’ve encountered. The non-reinforced early pattern Schuberth liner is dated 1935 on the band ánd the round marking on the leather. The helmet retains its originally attached liner and chinstrap marked G. Schiele Loburg 1937. The rim on the helmet is the typical early production with the hand rolled rim. The rear skirt of the shell retains multiple unit markings. One being 11./J.R.10 indicating 11. Kompanie Infanterie Regiment 10. The other marking is also named to Oberschütze Panitz 5./J.R.101. Both these units took part of the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940. The helmets exterior bears two Heer decals with the national three-color partially period removed as ordered in 1940. The helmet retains up to 90% of its original factory paint.

The helmet was recently recovered in household clearance in the area of Dresden which perfectly matches the unit marking inside the skirt. Infanterie regiment 10 was renamed into Infanterie Regiment Dresden in 1935. The helmet has never been in a collection before – very hard to find a real early war combat helmet like this one which both survived the Polenfeldzug in 1939 and the Westfeldzug in 1940! A perfect helmet for a 1940 combat mannequin, this helmet is really a nice textbook example of a pre war combat helmet, this helmet has it all!

Excellent original M35 Luftwaffe double decal helmet marked SE68 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke. The helmet comes in the large size 68 which is one of the rarest sizes.

Beautiful and large early Luftwaffe helmet in excellent condition!

A stunning original Waffen-SS officers service tunic in very good condition. This is the perfect base for a restoration. The tunic is a textbook Waffen-ss type officers service tunic and does not show any signs of Heer insignia ever being applied. The ghosts and traces of the SS insignia are easily seen; a sleeve eagle, collar tabs and a cuff title. The garment retains a pair of neatly sewn Waffen-SS shoulder boards for a Untersturmführer Panzer/Panzerjäger. The tunic is a small to medium size but would be a very good base to restore. These tunics are very hard to find as most are either restored as SS or wrongly as Heer.

Rare, combat worn pre war Panzer wrap dated 1937 with unit markings to Panzer Regiment 15. The wrapper is in strong worn condition and has a number of wartime modifications to the collar by ommitting the piping, slightly shortened waist and added internal cuffs.

The grey Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The breast eagle is period factory machine sewn on the top, flipped and finished by hand. The picture coming after the breast eagle shot shows the stitch line, underneath the lining.

The green Einheitslitzen are period factory sewn to the collar. The early style breast eagle is period factory machine sewn. The insignia are all wartime factory machine sewn and it does not show any signs of moved, replaced or restored insignia or stitch holes. The garment was most probably kept for walking out because it shows little to no wear. The garment has not been shortened or tailored. It has a set of two period sewn award loops on the left breast pocket. The Ostmedaille ribbon is hand sewn but in my opinion it is added to the piece. The tunic comes with a nice set of early M40 style wool piped infantry EM shoulderstraps. The garment retains up to 95% of the wool fluff and is near mint. This is typically the rarest type of Heer Feldbluse that would be very hard to upgrade!
