The cup is nicely marked with an MPD code which was typical for period produced bakelite items.

Outstanding brown bakelite cup to complete a canteen or a display!

Top shelf Luftwaffe double decal helmet marked Q66 indicating production by Quist. The helmet retains up to 95% of its minty factory finish and decals. The helme retains its factory fitted steel liner which is typical for helmets in this lot number range, also indicating it’s probably one of the last double decal helmets made. A textbook example that would be very hard to upgrade in a nice big size.

Very nice and aesthetic combat helmet. Field repainted in field grey on top of a reissue on top of the factory paint. The helmet retains its original liner. The helmet is a very nice example of a helmet that was first issued in the Heer and later repainted in the field.
