German camo helmet

Beautiful cased German mortar sight for the Granatwerfer 34  or s.Gr.W.34, the main mortar for the German army during world war two. The sight is in good condition with moving parts. The sight comes with its original case in tan paint. The Case could be cleaned on the top with oxalic to great effect, but I left it as is for now. The set was recently found in a household clearing and has never been in a collection before.

A nice coconut canteen marked HRE 43 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The canteen is in very good condition together with its bakelite cup. Hard to upgrade textbook coconut canteen in mint condition.

A unusual, late war canteen filling funnel. These funnels where used in field kitchens and together with the 5, 10, and 18 liter aluminium “Trinkwasser” drinking water containers to fill canteens. These funnels had the capacity of exactly one standard 0.8 liter canteen. They are wide enough at the top for a 5, 10 or 18 liter drinking water  container to easily poor. It is used by holding a finger underneath the small hole underneath the funnel and then filled to the top. The funnel is then placed above a canteen and the finger is removed. The canteen will be filled quick and without spillage! The funnel is made out of enameled steel like many of the late war canteens. A nice unusual item!

Nice small manual for the Panzerfaust 60 in good used condition.

Near mint, 1943 dated US raincoat by US RUBBER CO. The raincoat is in very good, minty condition and in contrary to most examples; is supple and wearable. There is one repair to the end of the sleeve which is neatly repaired. Very hard to find!

Very nice original US M3 Nash-Kelvinator 1944 binoculars with its original case. The binoculars are in good, usable condition.

Late war unissued Zeltbahn in Waffen-SS Oak camouflage. The Zeltbahn is nicely made up out of different colours of camouflaged material, typical for a late war manufacture. What makes this zeltbahn rare is that its of a late war “4 panel” construction. That means that on both far ends of the left and right side a extra triangle is sewn on. Next to that the left panel on the autumn side is unique in that the colours seem to be reversed; this is a first for me. The material is stunning and vibrant and looks like the day it was made. The zeltbahn never had any buttons applied. A unique late war Waffen-SS Zeltbahn with reversed coloursmost probably made in 1945!

Large container for Waffenentgiftungsmittel in very good condition with the closing strap, label and without damage.

Superb 1943 dated first pattern M-1943 field jacket by S. Rudofker’s Sons. The jacket is a typical early example with the green flat based buttons with a Kahki lining.
