fallschirmjager

Nice original Luftwaffe Viertaschenrock or four pocket tunic for a Obergefreiter of the flying personnel/paratroopers or Flieger/Fallschirmjäger. The garment has no shoulderstraps attached to it. All the insignia is period hand-applied and original to the garment.

Original illustrative book KRETA; SIEG DER KÜHNSTEN. This book illustrated the siege and victory of the infamous battle by Fallschirmjäger for the island of Kreta. The book is in good condition and as far as I can see still has all the pages. A nice book with beautiful and large photographs that should be in every collectors library!

Textbook original paratrooper badge in cloth or Fallschirmschützenabzeichen in very good condition.

Single tropical NCO  Luftwaffe shoulderstrap for a Unteroffizier in the Fallschirmjäger or flying personnel.

Original deathcard to Max Grübl, Obergefreiter in einem Fallschirmjägerregiment. Killed in action at Ssapscho-See north of Demidow on 20.2.1943. Max was a veteran of the Kreta, Balkan and Russian campaigns and was killed by a bullet to the heart.

Rare original M38 Fallschirmjäger helmet shell marked ET68. The helmet shell is a textbook example produced by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet shell still retains up to 75% of its original finish and decal. The helmet shell is marked ET68 with lot number 4863.

Textbook original paratrooper or Fallschirmjäger patch in very good uniform cut condition.

Textbook original Heer Gebirgsjäger Windjacke in good used condition. The garment is a normal Heer issue example but this one comes with a catch; it’s wartime unit marked for 3. Battalion Fallschirmjäger Regiment 2. The garment is a nice original example in light used condition with one period depot repair to the sleeve.

Late war deathcard to Unteroffizier Josef Zieglmeier, killed in action 7.4.1945 in Feldbach.

Death card of Fallschirmjäger Ludwig Kambichler who was killed in action during the Nordwind offensive. Kambichler was 30 years old and was killed in action in Wineckerthal, France on 1.1.1945, first buried in Andilly, later to be reburied in Niederbronn, France.

A very nice steel late war Erkennungsmarke or ID disc marked 215715 190 indicating the soldier was drafted in 9.Kompanie 3.Batalion of Fallschirmjäger Regiment 6. This regiment was a famous Fallschirmjäger unit that fought in the battle of Normandy, Holland and the Battle of the Bulge!

Textbook original Waffen-SS cufftitle for the 17. SS-Panzergrenadier-Division Götz von Berlichingen. The Götz von Berlichingen division was the only Waffen-SS division to have served exclusively at the western front. They have seen heavy actions in Normandy fighting besides the infamous Fallschirmjäger regiment 6. Mint condition piece that would be impossible to upgrade!

Superb and unissued late war Fallschirmjäger smock in stone mint condition. The smock is a textbook late war example as used and issued for the Ardennes offensive. The smock is a typical late war example executed in thin material. This Fallschirmjäger smock was never issued. The breasteagle is period factory sewn to the smock, not through the breast pocket. The smock is a large size easily fitting most if not all mannequins. This piece really is superb and would be very hard to upgrade.

Super rare first pattern MP38 magazine pouches in light used condition. These first pattern pouches was made prior to 1940. Interesting and typical to the construction of these pouches is the white webbing ammunition belt material used for the belt loops and D-ring. These pouches are extremely scarce to find, especially in this good, undamaged condition. These pouches are seen typically with Fallschirmjäger along with the 6 cell variant of these pouches. The pouches where found last year on the French/Belgium border together with a green FJ helmet cover and a Gasmask canister attributed to 63213 Stab. Kompanie Fallschirmjager-Ersatz- u. Ausbildungs-Regiment 2. For sure the rarest type of MP38 magazine pouches in very good matching and lightly used and undamaged condition – but most importantly a pair which was found together!

A nice original late war tan Fallschirmjäger bandoleer in good used condition. A typical example with many different materials and presstuds used. A small damage to one of the press stud covers, other then that a nice used example with all press studs in working condition!

Scarce ID’ed mapcase to Oberjaeger Zimmermann with the Feldpostnummer 52261 indicating Fallschirmjäger-Regiment 5. The mapcase is in very good, lightly used condition without damages. The mapcase is nicely marked bml 42. Finding a better mapcase with a better unit ID and name would be very hard!
