German camo helmet

Nice original US Musette bag marked Varey – Shea 1942.

Original Pamphlet that was dropped on 2.10.1944 in the area of the Scheldt. The Pamphlet warned the people living in the Scheldt river for the imminent allied air- and artillery bombardment followed by a large infantry attack. The pamphlet warns to evacuate without hesitation and to leave anything one could not carry easily. Hard to find original Pamphlet in good condition.

Original Holland related deathcard of Obergefreiter Georg Kapfhammer. Kapfhammer served in an Pionier-Abteilung and was killed in action on September 15, 1944 in the small village of Breskens in the Netherlands. The German forces found themselves trapped during the retreat from France and Belgium between the Dutch/Belgian coast and the West Schelde. Trapped in the so called Breskens Pocket was the German 15. Armee. The German pocket managed to hold out throughout October. Extensive research shows Obergefreiter Kapfhammer served in the 2. Kompanie / Pionier-Btl. 245, part of the 245. Infanterie-Division. He was killed by a “Bombensplitter” – bomb shrapnel and was initially buried in a field grave in Breskens, later his remains where transferred to Ysselsteyn.

Original deathcard of Pionier Georg Käser. Pionier Käser served in an SS-Pionier-Abteilung and was killed in action on January 4, 1945 near Ransperg am Saar. This location is however difficult to determine.
Looking at his place of burial (St. Ingbert-Rohrbach) it must be searched in the region of Saarbrücken / Zweibrücken. In that case Pionier Käser most likely served in the 17. SS Panzer-Grenadier-Division “Götz von Berlichingen”.

Rare original German reversible winter parka recognition sleeve armbands in unissued condition. These sleeve armbands proved useful on the eastern front where the German and Russian winter camouflage uniforms looked alike and men needed to be able to tell friend from foe in seconds. These armbands can be worn with the dark or red side outwards and are made of screen printed red fabric. I’ve found a few pairs of armbands which is a rare opportunity to buy a original set of recognition armbands – before they run out!

Rare USAAF areal photography camera with large wooden case. This camera was used in bombers and reconnaissance planes during world war two. The camera looks in complete condition, but I can not test the function. The lens looks clear and is without cracks. It was used in many planes including the B-17, B-25, B-24, B-29, Supermarine Spitfire, the North American F-6 (modified P-51), and the Canadian-built De Havilland F-8 (modified Mosquito). Nice piece that will be a centerpiece in any USAAF themed collection!
