Textbook original Khaki allied forces helmet net with original scrim. This type could be seen on the helmets of most allied forces: Canadian, British and US. Excellent example with small holes and rather thin thread. Would look perfect on a US M1 or a British MKII helmet!

Original Canadian Royal Corps of Signals cap badge in good worn condition.

Textbook EM HBT or Drillich field blouse in very good, imo unissued condition. The garment features all buttons, no damages and a set of belt hooks. The garment is marked RBNR 0/0157/0036 and the size is a good medium to large fitting most modern mannequins. The garment retains original, though resewn insignia. Nice display tunic in very good condition!

Rare original MGZ40 Collimator in good used condition. This part is the rarest part that is virtually always missing from the MGZ optics, it is mounted on the top of the Lafette mounted MGZ40 optics.

Textbook and very interesting so-called three tone FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone. This example gets the three tone designation thanks to the textbook construction where the metal parts used are finished in three different colours: tan (yellow), black and blueish grey (Blaugrau) which is typical for 1944 dated examples where the FF33 first started to be made with tan coloured parts! The FF33 is nicely marked rsm 1944 which indicates production in 1944 by an unknown maker. It is also features a mark “ark” which is an abbreviation for Arktisch which indicates the field telephone is designed so it can be used arctic climates. Excellent and very interesting late war constructed FF33 which would be impossible to upgrade!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!

Extremely rare 1935 dated FF33 (Feldfernsprecher 33) field telephone in great combat used condition. The small white board on the closing lid features a lot of period writing such as Ringleitung, Komp., 1. Zug, 2. Zug, 3. Zug, which indicates this piece has seen some real combat use! The lid has a one crack on one of the edges but the bakelite housing is except for one crack undamaged. The crank is not matching with the field telephone itself which is virtually always the case, the crank is an early 1937 dated example and seems to been together with the rest of the field telephone since the war ended. This is the earliest example I have ever seen and for sure one of the best field telephones I have ever had the pleasure to offer!

Note: The field phone appears to be in good shape and is complete with all the necessary parts to use it including the battery box which is mostly broken or missing. I have not opened or tested the field phone!

Excellent leather tool pouch for signal troops or Nachrichtentruppe. This pouch is quite rare to find and most examples are late war Pressstoff examples. The pouch is nicely marked fkx 41 which indicates production by Gustav Sudbrack, Lederwaren u.

This early, first pattern holster with compartment for the cleaning rod is in good used condition and comes complete with its early WaA takedown tool. The 1935 dated P08 holsters are rare to find, considered the holy grail for collectors and only occasionally find their way onto the market!

Original US Graflex Speed Graphic Anniversary camera, one of the most well known allied wartime used cameras that saw action on all fronts. These camera’s are large and bulky, not the type the average soldier would carry on him but the type as issued to official war correspondents and members of the Signal Corps. The Speedgraphic was used by many of the well known US war photographers and surely is one of the most famous US army issue camera’s of WW2.

Nice example of dust goggles!
