Rare pair of period converted lightweight Y-straps for Cavalry use. This model was issued to cavalry troops from 1940 onwards. They are of the same design as the lightweight model as used by the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine but feature auxiliary side straps with D-rings and two vertical D-rings on the back. These small changes where made so the saddle bag can be worn on the back. Rare cavalry Y-strap!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet marked clc44  indicating production by Richard Abr. Herder, Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial H5278 and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good uncleaned and matching condition with a original late war skeleton frog.

Nice original MG34 anti-aircraft spider sight that is a basic component in any MG pouch. Hard to find spare!

Hard to find 1942 dated Y-straps in nice used condition. The Y-strap is nice and supple and would be a nice addition to any early mannequin!

A stunning unissued canteen marked ESB 43 indicating production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin. The Canteen has a very nice light brown leather strap in good supple condition. The cover is nicely made out of loosely woven gaberdine and still retains its 3(not 4!) press studs. Perfect mid to late war canteen that’s impossible to upgrade.

Nice original late war equipment belt with red pronged JFS buckle and a nice large size 100 fitting most if not all mannequins. Hard to upgrade!

Stunning original three-tone camouflage MG34 ammunition/oil storage tin. The tin retains up to 98% of its original camouflage paint and would be very hard to upgrade!

This ensemble was photographed on Omaha Beach on the 5th of June 2019.

A very nice M31 canteen and breadbag for Helferinnen in the Wehrmacht. Rare to find complete!

Rare early pattern knit winter hood. Issued together with the typical ringed knit gloves. These hoods are the typical early winter hoods prior to the later tube Schauschal. One of the rarest winter garment pieces to find!

A nice original M3 fighting knife marked Utica complete with its original M8 scabbard in good used condition.

A nice original Y-strap in good used condition marked RBNr. 0/0871/0015 . The Y-strap is a late war type with a late war backstrap with the “wire” hook. The strap is a nice supple and complete example, typical as issued to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

A very nice red brown bakelite case for the 6×30 Dienstglas. The case is complete with leather support straps on the back and a grey rubber pull strap. The case is in very good clean condition.

Hard to upgrade mint and matching bayonet marked 42 asw indicating production by E. & F. Horster & Co. Solingen. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 5043 and has nice clean wooden grips. The bayonet is in very good minty and matching (!) condition!

A nice matching belt and buckle in good used condition. The buckle is nicely marked ESL 41 and E Schneider 1941 on the tab.

Truly the best example I’ve found so far! The original factory paint on it still retains up to 99% and would be hard to upgrade. The canister is complete with its early mask and straps.

Scarce late war brown Y-straps in lightly worn condition. Hard to find brown pair of Y-straps nicely RBNR marked inside the O-ring leather. Scarce!

A great lightbrown pair of late war felt boots. Typical eastern front footwear worn and issued with the reversible, non reversible and charkov parkas. The pair is a nice large 29 which translates to a modern EU 44. The pair is nicely marked Columbus-Schuhfabrik Breslau 43. Hard to find a great pair in this condition and size!

A very nice original Gasmask canister with its originally applied straps and Gascape. The canister is in very good condition with approximately 99% of its original factory paint. The canister is a late variant with coarse straps and various manufacturing simplifications. The canister is dated 1944. The Canister has the late war coarse material straps that are original to the can. The gas cape is nicely strapped to the can and shows the same shape and patina and in my opinion this is also original to the can. The gas cape pouch is named to Sauter. The canister doesn’t have a mask or filter but would be great to display on a mannequin with less chance of straps breaking through the weight of the mask. The Canister is in great original condition with lots of patina and would nicely attribute any combat mannequin display!

A minty coconut canteen marked HRE 43 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The canteen is in mint condition together with its matching minty cup. Simply the best example of a coconut canteen I’ve ever seen! If you just need one coconut canteen, this is it!
