Rare original Waffen-SS camouflage smock in Oak leaf or Eichenlaubmuster in good used condition marked 329 in the left spring pocket flap. The smock is probably the last model of camouflage smock to be developed for the Waffen-SS. These smocks where made from a narrower bolt of material as used on the ‘4-Panel’ Zeltbahns constructed with separately sewn corners. The material used is very thin, if you hold it against the light you can look through it which reflects the late war ‘quality’ the Waffen-SS was dressed with. These smocks where most probably made between 1944 and 1945. The condition of the smock is with wear; there are a few small damages and some of the stitching is damaged. The smock retains the full original tunneled elastic but is no longer functional. I have seen a couple of mint examples of these smocks; but this is the first actually worn example I’ve seen. If you’re after a rare Waffen-SS combat worn Eichenlaubmuster camouflage smock; this is it!

A very nice and light used late war Gebirgsjäger anorak Jacket (Windbluse) . These reversible camouflage garments are waterproofed and meant for the Ski- und Gebirgsjäger. The jacket has some light traces of usage but is in a rather good condition. The garment is in a very nice and medium size fitting all modern mannequins.

Textbook M35 single decal Luftwaffe helmet produced to M40 specifications marked Q68 indicating production by Quist. This M35 helmet was produced in 1940 during the switchover to the M40 type helmet. Hence it was produced with one decal and a dull and slightly textured finish. These helmet where only produced for a few months and are not to be confused with a reissue type helmet. The helmet is in very good used condition with 99% of the decal remaining.  This helmet was recovered from Middelburg, The Netherlands in 1944 and has been in the same collection ever since. The helmet is a rare single decal M35 helmet in untouched condition with known provenance!

Rare original, as found Fibre Rim paratrooper helmet that was left behind in the Netherlands. The helmet retains a lot of factory paint and its original fibre rim. Rare example in untouched condition!

Nice original Wehrmacht Heer album for a Gefreiter serving in the 1940 campaign in the west. The soldier has many front line or action photographs on the western front with burned out or destroyed British vehicles, villages or field guns. There are a number of interesting photographs that in my opinion could reveal more information such as units and or locations.

Excellent and rare Telo Mimetico (Italian camouflage) Zeltbahn in the textbook M31 pattern. These Italian camouflage Zeltbahns have been issued to Heer and Waffen-SS units. The Zeltbahn’s colours have been faded but are still clearly visible and some of the original factory applied buttons are still present. A very rare Italian camouflage Zeltbahn in rather good used condition!

Textbook late war construction canteen in good used condition. The steel red painted flask itself is unmarked. The cover is a typical late war gabardine (smooth cloth) cover with 3 press studs. The strap is a very interesting example in the late war two-piece construction using brown and black (bi-colour) leather and buckle without a roller which looks colorful and aesthetic. The strap is nicely marked FWBN 43 which indicates production by F.W. Brockelmann Aluminiumwerk GmbH KG, Neheim/Ruhr. In my opinion the canteen is an unmarked example from the maker FWBN as well! In textbook late war configuration with a black bakelite cup marked 7M/S.

Original non-matching M31 pattern (Feldflasche) canteen in good used condition. The aluminium flask itself is nicely marked ESB 43 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1943. The felt cover is not matching with the canteen itself and is marked AEMA. In textbook configuration with a black bakelite cup marked 6F/S. Nice original canteen in good used condition which is sadly unmatching!

Textbook late war Sanitätstasche fur Offiziere with marked ROP 1944. Whilst these bags can be commonly found this is the first large example with tan painted hardware I have ever seen. The bag is complete with the original hangers and tan painted keys. The Tan hardware makes this a very rare variant that would be very hard to upgrade.

US World war two issue Corcoran paratrooper jump boots named Wayne G. Deller US-52275103. The boots are in good used condition with period installed German Elite marked zippers. These where added to many jump boots in the early occupation time with troops stationed in Europe. The zippers are in working condition and would make putting them on mannequins a lot easier. Nice pair in great condition!

Textbook pair of British ammo boots dated 1944 straight from the Woodwork in Saint–Lô, Normandy. These boots survived the war and was found with 5 helmets in a farm in Saint–Lô by myself, 5.6.2021.  Interesting detail is that the boots have period installed German hobnails and laces indicating they where probably worn by a German soldier. Still textbook British army boots in good worn condition.

Rare original matching Waffen-SS EM shoulderstraps for Nachschubtruppen in very good condition.

Nice original Heer Infanterie shoulderstraps with rayon piping with subdued Tresse for a Unterfeldwebel in good worn condition.

Single Heer M35 EM artillery shoulderstrap

Beautiful and rare Göffel marked W.J.S. 40 Rostfrei which indicates production by Wilhelm Jordan, Solingen in 1941. This Göffel is made out of stainless steel (Rostfrei) which is very unusual and W.J.S. is a rare maker to encounter. Probably one of the rarest Göffels to find in good used condition!

Excellent can opener which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The can opener is also the base part which keeps all 4 loose parts together. The can opener is nicely marked ESM 41 which indicates production by an unidentified manufacturer 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!

Excellent stainless steel knife which is part of the Wehrmacht field cutlery set which were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The knife is an unusual unmarked example.  As is the case with almost all parts of the field cutlery sets this fork is marked with a clearly visible eagle which clarifies it’s Eigentum der Wehrmacht. Perfect as a spare or to complete a field cutlery set!

Original WW2 US Army transitional pattern olive green webbing combat suspenders, complete with all buckles and straps. For sure made by Anchor Canvas in 1944 but the markings have been faded.
