Rare m38 gasmask in three-tone ‘Normandy’ camouflage from Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard which is south of Coutances. This gasmask was found in a household clearing a long time ago and has been in a single collection since. The mask and its canister are in untouched, as found condition. The canister still retains its vibrant, wartime applied three-tone camouflage pattern up to 90%. The gasmask was found in Pont des Réaux sur le Cagnard which us near Trelly and Quettreville-sur-Sienne which where both the scene of fierce battles fought by the 6. Fallschirmjäger Regiment and 2. SS Panzerdivision ‘Das Reich’. Considering FJR6 had a very typical camouflage pattern, distinctly different then this example my assumption is that this camouflaged gasmask once belonged to a member of the Das Reich division.

Very hard to upgrade piece!

Neat Luftwaffe tropical field blouse for a Obergefreiter der Fallschirmjäger. The field blouse is a neat, worn example which is slightly period shortened. The field blouse retains its yellow piped shoulderstraps indicating Fallschirmjäger or flying personnel. The sleeve has a nice and rare Luftwaffe tropical Obergefreiter sleeve insignia. The breast eagle was unfortunately removed at some point. The field blouse is a nice example in good worn condition!

Matching Luftwaffe Leutnant shoulderboards for Fallschirmjäger and flying personnel in good used condition.

Late war Luftwaffe Fliegerbluse in unworn condition. The Fliegerbluse has a original but resewn eagle and a pair of gulls applied directly to the collar which is a uncommon late war feature. The shoulderstraps are typical privately purchased examples for a Unteroffizier. The belt hook straps inside have been removed. A nice original Fliegerbluse in a good medium to large size!

Luftwaffe parachute carrying bag in very good condition. Unlike the fallschirmjäger ones I presume this might be a bag for the pilot’s parachutes.

Rare late war Fallschirmjäger Gasmask bag marked ebd. The bag is in good used condition with its original long straps. At some point the short strap was replaced with a removable example from a regular gasmask canister. The zipper is in good condition. The rubber plug is missing. There is a typical metal canister for spare lenses marked ebd. Rare piece in good used condition!

Rare Award document for the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen of Fallschirmjäger Oberleutnant Siegfried Seyffert. Rare original document for the Fallschirmschützenabzeichen!

Textbook Fallschirmjäger worn French pre war tropical service shirt. These shirts were often worn by Fallschirmjäger in tropical areas. These shirts were issued from French captured stocks. The shirt has a hand applied cloth Fallschirmschützenabzeichen and breast eagle. There is a set of hand sewn award loops and a nice pair of shoulderstraps for a Unteroffizier der Fallschirmtruppen. Nice tropical shirt in a good large size!

Set of 5 large dish formed buttons intended for Fallschirmjäger and Felddivision smocks. These tan coloured buttons are specially designed and painted in this tan colour to match nicely with the tan colour in the Sumpftarn camouflage. Extremely hard to find these buttons as a spare set!

Late war Fallschirmjäger bandoleer from Nunspeet, the Netherlands. The bandoleer was recently found in a household clearing in Nunspeet and has never been in a collection before. A typical example with many different materials!

Splitter-B pattern Fallschirmjäger bandoleer. Excellent late war example with beautiful and bright colours within the Luftwaffe Splittertarn camouflage fabric. All press studs and pockets are complete and undamaged, overall very nice condition!
