This is a nice period torch or Taschenlampe made by Nirona in very good condition. This is a very unusual, large and round design which features steel belt hooks on the backside. The torch is in very good condition and is nicely marked D.R.G.M. on front as well. Rare and desirable example!

Rare M42 messkit configuration consisting out of an enameled body and a painted steel lid. Most likely the result of a transitional period in which they switched from steel to enameled production. Both parts are nicely marked AEMA 43 which indicates production by  Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke, Annweil in 1943. The bottom enamel part features around 90% of its factory finish over the enamel which is rare to encounter! Interesting configuration in beautiful condition!

Nice M31 pattern canteen in as found/untouched condition. The canteen is nicely marked G&CL 39/40 which indicates production by Gehardi & Co, Lüdenscheid, the difference in years is imo the result of a factory mismatch made in early 1940. Nice M31 canteen in field used, untouched condition!

Textbook late war gasmask filter pouch in unissued condition. Very rare example manufactured from a atypical rough fabric with two reddish press studs. These is one of the very few examples there are known with this construction! Nice and rare example!

Nice original tropical issue Rucksack. The Rucksack is in overall good condition without any damages. Sadly the Rucksack is not visible marked. Nice example for on a mannequin!

I found this sling together with the leather cup for the buttstock; I presume they have always been together. They are in used condition but would be a nice addition to a M1903 Springfield sniper rifle.

USMC issue T-handle entrenching tool in very good condition. The tool retains most of its original green paint.

A nice and matching pair of Heer EM/NCO collar tabs or Einheitslitzen in unused condition. These were typical examples sewn onto the collar by tailors and or soldiers who wanted a smarter appearance of their field blouse or by those that did not have the needed talent to sew these on correctly. A nice pair in good condition that would easily restore to a M40 and later field blouses.

Nice pre war Luftwaffe issued K98 ammunition pouch in used and untouched condition. The pouch is nicely marked Franz Brehme, Walsrode 1938.

Very nice Luftwaffe issue pouch in untouched condition!

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!
