German camo helmet

Nice original ’43 Sumpftarn sniper smock with face veil. Late war smock designed for wear and use by Scharfschützen in the Wehrmacht. The smock is in light worn condition and has a number of small holes which are typical for a thin garment worn in densely wooded areas. The smock is a nice large size 2 fitting most if not all mannequins. The smock is complete with both of its drawstrings and sleeve ties. A very nice surely combat worn smock with strong and vibrant colours and complete with its original face veil!

Very nice pre war P08 Luger holster for the Polizei. Nicely marked Otto Sindel Berlin 1941. Scarce holster in very good condition!

Hard to upgrade matching bayonet with textbook green tropical frog marked J. Sch. 1939 indicating production by Jetter und Scheerer. The bayonet is matching to its scabbard with the serial 4721 b and has nice clean bakelite grips. The bayonet is in very good unsharpened, matching (!) condition and comes with its nice green tropical frog. One of the best DAK bayonets I’ve had to offer in a long time!

A fantastic pair of Sumpftarn sniper gloves in lightly worn condition. These gloves show a nice patina and are perfect for a combat mannequin. The size is nice and medium to large.

Late war Soldbuch of Jäger Hildebrandt. The soldbuch was handed out on the 1st of April 1945. At this time Jäger Hildebrandt served in the Genesenden-Kompanie-Grenadier Ersatz und Ausbildungs battalion 467, with was located in Stendal near the Elbe river. He was awarded the Verwundetenabzeichen im Schwarz and Kriegsverdienstkreuz II Klasse mit Schwerter on Hitlers birthday in 1945.  Very hard to find late war Soldbuch for a Berlin battle veteran!

With the Soviet and Allied forces advancing towards Berlin, Jäger Hildebrandt was transferred to Kampfgruppe Oberstleutnant Bahr, which was part of the Divisionsgruppe Von Hake as Grenadier-Regiment Von Hake. A hastily formed unit which fell subordinate to the XXXXI Panzerkorps. The Kampfgruppe Bahr/Grenadier regiment von Hake was made up from several units like a Flak battalion from Hannover, Gren.E.A.Btl. 467 from Stendal and a battalion of the Hundeschule Rathenow. On the 22nd of April the Panzerkorps fell under the leadership of the 12th Army, commanded by General der Panzertruppe Walter Wenck, and was sent east of the Elbe river to attack towards Berlin, and relieve the units trapped in and around the city. The main effort of the 12th army was to attack towards Potsdam and the trapped 9th Army at Halbe. Initially the attack surprised the Russians and the German forces gained some success, reaching as far as Schwielowsee near Potsdam. The Divisionsgruppe Von Hake however was sent further north to the area of Neuruppin and northwest of Havelberg to face the Russian 47th Army. An attack by the XXXXI Panzerkorps which was intended to push towards the city of Berlin didn’t stand any chance, instead they broke through at Kyritz on the 1.5.1945, on 2.5.1945 another Soviet attack broke trough the Panzerkops lines at Friesack and Fehrbellin. What was left of the Divisionsgruppe von Hake tried to withdraw to the bridgehead at Tangermünde and thus escape Russian captivity.

A very nice original PUMA combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42. The handle is made out of typical red speckled bakelite. The knife is in good sharpened condition and has been used and issued! Perfect combat mannequin accessory!

One of the rarest bits of German army equipment. A stunning pair of 6×30 Dienstglas binoculars marked CXN indicating production by Emil Busch. The binoculars have clear lenses without scratches. The binoculars still retain all of their zinc and bakelite without any serious defects. There is one small hole in the bakelite body behind the strap. The binoculars are nicely adjustable. They lack the Strichplatte and the sight is slightly double and a bit dirty but good enough to use! They are fitted with a adjustable strap that is affixable to two sets of bales on the reverse of the main body. The straps are original and exactly the type that should be on these binoculars, which is the rarest accessory to find for these binoculars and always missing. The binoculars are complete with the original issued case marked CXN 4.

A deep chocolate coloured butterdish in good condition. The bakelite is free of cracks and is a nice light brown colour. The butterdish opens in a 1/3 turn as it should and dated 1944.

Stunning and extremely rare late war Zeltbahn in Waffen-SS Oak leaf camouflage. The Zeltbahn is nicely made up out of different colours of camouflaged material, typical for a late war manufacture. What makes it so rare is that this Zeltbahn was produced in a small experimental batch between May and July 1944 with not normal but rotating buttonholes. The material is stunning and vibrant and looks like the day it was made. The zeltbahn no longer retains its buttons. A very nice original late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn that I’ve never seen a second one of!

Nice mid war ammunition carrying frame in very good unissued condition. The frame is complete with all straps and buckles in perfect condition. The rack retains up to 99% of its original factory paint. All webbing is in good undamaged condition. A great and textbook example that would be very hard to upgrade. For sure the best example I’ve had to offer!

A nice and honest single decal M40 helmet in three-tone Normandy camouflage. Nicely covered with a very smooth three-tone camouflage. The camouflage still retains up to 85%. Nicely marked ET62 indicating production by Eisenhüttenwerke Thale. The helmet is complete with its liner and is in untouched, as found condition. The helmet is a nice and honest one-looker in great condition!

Nice matching A-frame with original A-frame bag marked Ehrhardt & Kirsten Taucha-Leipzig 1941. The A-frame is a bit dusty but in unissued condition and complete with all straps.

Possibly the rarest of webbing Y-straps to find, this variant is especially designed and made for Cavalry troops to carry the Packtasche on the back. Only the second one I have ever seen, let alone was able to offer. Scarce piece in mint condition!

Hard to find original Wehrmacht hand held issue cable spool for field phone wire. The spool comes complete with the original wire. Nice for a field phone display!

Rare enameled canteen cup marked AEMA 44 indicating production by Annweiler Email-u.Metall-Werke, Annweil. Rare to find spare!

Very nice US M1 fixed bale helmet named L.J. Wire. The helmet retains a nice light camouflage paint externally and is named to the front. The helmet retains a very nice early textured low pressure Saint Clair liner. The helmet would be a great base for further research!

Stunning unissued and untouched blurred edge or Rauchtarnmuster pattern camouflage smock or Tarnjacke. The smock is a textbook 1940 pattern example with drawstring and breast pocket slits. The fabric is in near mint condition with a beautiful vibrant and colorful pattern which is quite appealing to the eye. The garment hasn’t been shortened or modified and retains its original textbook olive green rayon drawstring. The smock doesn’t show any use of wear but it shows some aging on a dust/mud stain to the front. This could easily be cleaned but best left like this. The elastic on the sleeves is slightly functional and has never been removed or replaced. The elastic is tunneled in blurred edge and has never been opened. The smock has two small holes but there are no repairs. This untouched combat smock would be a prime piece in any camouflage collection and would be very hard to upgrade.

A nice fur issued Polizei fur hat in good used condition. Nicely maker marked 0/1500/0747 and dated 1943. The cap is a size 56 which is a common size for the time period. The cap is in mint condition and the fur still retains most of its hairs. The cap has a originally applied Polizei cap eagle! Nice for a eastern front mannequin!

Rare complete bakelite Einheitslaterne spare parts and maintenance kit. These bakelite cases containing many of the small spares for the bakelite Einheitslaterne are very hard to find in complete condition. The metal parts where at some point painted black.
