SOLD ITEMS

Rare unissued Kriegsmarine issue lightweight Y-straps. Textbook light brown leather with grey painted hardware.

Late war Heer M31 Splittertarn Zeltbahn with parts of Italian camouflage in good used condition. Despite the faded colours this example still has very nice and aesthetic characteristics such as the outer line of the Zeltbahn which features an almost reddish colour and the multiple parts of Italian Telo Mimetico camouflage in the construction. All the original applied buttons seem to be carefully removed, the grommets and the ropes are still intact and in place. Nice and interesting example!

Excellent late war M31 Rucksack with various interesting features such as Italian captured leather and blue coloured fabric. The Rucksack is nicely marked 0/0378/0005 44 which indicates production by an unknown maker in 1944. Notice the very unusual usage of the captured (green) Italian leather in the construction of this Rucksack. Almost all the straps and leather parts are made out of this typical Italian leather. This type of captured leather can sometimes be encountered on MG tool pouches but this is the first time I have encountered it in the construction of a Rucksack. Very nice and interesting late war Rucksack in very good condition!

Brown 1945 dated rucksack. This example is pictured on page 44 in Ausrüstung Volume 2 by Roly Pickering. This is either. a very late war ‘last ditch’ pattern general issue rucksack or a immediate post war produced example. These rucksacks were found in a small batch some years ago that has dried out ever since. The rucksack is marked ’45 and RBNR inside the backstrap reinforcement. The rucksack is made with brown paramilitary cloth and hardware in the typical brown paint. Interesting late war Rucksack in unissued condition!

Officers rank claw belt or Zweidorn belt (Koppel und Zweidornschnalle). The belt is a nice large size which measures approximately 95cm and is complete with the original cross strap. The belt is nicely marked Springer & Co., Berlin 1941. The felt on the inside of the belt has clearly been damaged by moths, but this will not be noticeable on a mannequin or bust! Nice officers rank Zweidorn belt!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked Carl Eickhorn 39 indicating production by wanted and famous maker Carl Eickhorn, Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 1007 c and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good uncleaned, unsharpened and matching (!) condition with 90% of its factory blueing. The bayonet comes together with its original leather frog. The frog is nicely marked with a manufacturer stamp and clearly dated 1939 which matches perfectly with the bayonet itself. The frog is in good used condition and has never been separated from the bayonet. Stunning bayonet with its original matching frog!

Perfect stond mint and totally complete cased Masken-brille. Complete with the manual, a spare set of straps and the original bag around the glasses itself. These Heer issue glasses were specifically designed to be wearable underneath the gasmask in case of a gas attack.

Nice original Wehrmacht issue Schlauschal, Toque or Oma scarf in good condition. The scarf was clearly marked on the inside but this has sadly been faded and completely unreadable. Nice and hard to find example in very good, most likely unissued condition!

Original pair of Styrian gaiters or Steyerische Gamaschen which are specifically developed and made for the Waffen-SS Gebirgsjägers (Waffen-SS mountain troops). The gaiters are in hard used condition and the fabric has lost a lot of colour by fading in the sunlight.

US army female photographer grouping. Found together and consisting of a female M1943 field jacket with liner and a small overseas cap. The M1943 field jacket retains its period sewn insignia including the US Army photographer patch and two rank patches for a Sergeant first class. The garments are in good, as found condition and originally came from New York. The back of the field jacket retain a part of a laundry number indicating it could be further researched. Hard to find female photographer ensemble!

Textbook US M1936 suspenders in good condition.

US M1936 Musette bag in good used condition marked LUCE Manufacturing & Co. 1942. Nice complete example with general purpose carrying strap. The Musette bag has a number written on the inside of the flap which is nice for further research!

Original late war (1944) general purpose ammo bag marked B.B.S. Co. 1944. The bag is in good used condition.

US Navy lifebelt marked NXSS 16847 dated April 30 1943. 

Neat grouping to Sergeant Snyder Daniel W with two rare Australian made garments. The grouping has a base of paperwork with name and rank which is a nice base for further research.

Rare and textbook Waffen-SS officers flatwire sleeve eagle. The eagle has been uniform removed showing moderate wear. The eagle was neatly sewn with very small, nearly invisible stitches which is textbook application for any expensive officers garment. Very hard to find a original Waffen-SS flatwire sleeve eagle that was bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A textbook example that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Salty, uniform removed Waffen-SS runic collar tab. A real witness to combat that was probably taken as a souvenir. Textbook example with original RZM label intact.

Waffen-SS collar tab for Dutch volunteers inside of the Waffen-SS. This collar tab is specifically designed for and used by members of the 23. SS-Frewilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division “Nederland”. The collar tab is constructed out of black wool on a tan coloured buckram backing material which indicates this is a textbook Dachau made example. Excellent example in unissued condition!

Rare mid to late war matching pair of shoulderstraps for a Waffen-SS EM, with rayon piping and typical zigzag edged finish. The pair is in untouched, as found condition and would be a great addition to any combat worn field blouse!
