One of the rarest Zeltbahns to find!

When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer or barrel carrier to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Every MG team had one or two spare barrels in spare barrel carriers with their field equipment. The MG34 barrel carrier is in very good condition with 95% of the original tan colour remaining. The carrier was once overpainted in blue grey over the original tan factory paint. The carrier is nicely marked beq 1943 indicating production by Framo-Werke G.m.b.H., Hainichen/Sachsen. The carrier is complete with its original LUX marked strap and in very good condition. One of the rarest spares to find for the MG34!

Original leather MG34 tool pouch. Hard to find early leather variant with the internal hardware for MG34 tools.

A nice original mint and textbook Splittertarn cover marked 419 M42. The cover is photographed on a size 66 helmet shell. The cover is unworn and undamaged, the colours are very strong. These helmet covers where issued to a lot of different units later in the war but one of the most prominent early adaptors was the Grossdeutschland division and later the 21. Panzerdivision in Normandy! Scarce to find a original Splittertarn helmet cover in stone mint condition and most probably the best one I’ve had to offer!

Stunning and uncommon Luftwaffe reissue helmet. The helmet is marked SE64 indicating production by Sächsische Emaillier und Stanzwerke A.G. The helmet retains its original non-reinforced liner and LBA marked chinstrap in great condition. The helmet is a typical but rare Reissue example with a rough overpaint masking the pre war blue paint and decals. The rough reissue overpaint is topped off with a decal and naming in the skirt of the helmet. The helmet is unit marked to 1. Kompanie Flak Regiment 29 5. Batterie inside the dome and underneath the leather. The helmet is named to Oberstleutnant Krichler in the skirt of the shell.  The helmet would be a very nice base for further research for Oberstleutnant Krichler which is a very high rank! Very hard to find a Luftwaffe reissue helmet, this is the first and best one I’ve seen!

A very nice unissued M42 helmet marked CKL64 indicating production by Eisen- u. Huettenwerke, Thale, Harz. The helmet retains its original paint for 99%.

The helmet is still dusty and uncleaned, easily cleaned with a soft brush to reveal its stone mint paint finish!

Stunning example of M35 Q66 marked Heer/Waffen-SS camouflage helmet indicating production by Quist. The helmet is externally completely covered in thick concrete paint. The named leather liner and chinstrap are original to the helmet. The helmet is a killer example of a wartime camouflage helmet with thick concrete paint completely embedding the liner pins. The decals are both overpainted but visible through cracks in the paint. The helmet is named to Stabsarzt Schneider – one of the highest ranks in the medical department of the Wehrmacht. This would be a impeccable helmet for any helmet collector, impossible to upgrade and textbook Rautarn camouflage helmet!
