German camo helmet

A rare Hautentgiftungsmittel box with all contents. Rare to encounter with the red pressed paper box with cotton swabs and the original label on the flask!

A nice late war zeltbahn with bakelite buttons marked 0/0501/001. The Zeltbahn is in good used condition and has some missing buttons and a small holes. A rare Zeltbahn to find with good vibrant colours!

A textbook Wehrmacht issue torch in nice used condition. Nicely dated 1943 and executed in field grey paint.

Possibly the rarest of Waffen-SS Zeltbahns is this type in Blurred Edge or Rauchtarnmuster camouflage. The Zeltbahn is in strong used condition and has some clear wear to it. There are a few holes here and there, there are a few buttons missing.

A nice original breadbag complete with the strap. Inside one of the leather straps is missing. The breadbag is in very nice condition complete with the early belt reinforcement loops.

Late war tan Patronenkasten 41 in very good original condition with most of the original tan paint remaining!

A stunning late war Waffen-SS Erbsentarn Keilhosen or dot 44 HBT camouflage trousers. In mint condition, without damages. Manufactured later in the war showing signs of last ditch production. One button hole and the leg straps have never been installed. The camouflage on this pair of trousers is very bright with strong colours and don’t show any fading. These would be a perfect(!) colour match to the Erbsentarn tunics marked 0/0793/0101.

Small expendable tripod for the artillery trench periscope. The pouch is dated 1943. Interestingly the material of the pouch is the typical late war “red lined” material as also used on MP44 pouches.

A fantastic third pattern paratrooper jump smock or Knochensack in combat worn condition. The smock is complete with original factory sewn breast eagle on a Grünmeliert base and all originally sewn buttons. The smock was a war trophy to a US soldier who brought it home after the war. After that it has been in a single collection for a very long time. The garment is in uncleaned, unaltered condition which is a rare condition to find. There are some small holes and two, in my opinion period “depot” repairs with zigzag stitching. The inside of the smock has some stains in various tints of brown. The press studs are lightly rusted or in working condition. Two of the zippers are in working condition, two are damaged through time. On the back portion a small 3 is stamped, inside, on the back of the left top pocket a faint RBNR can be seen. The size is a medium, which would fit most old hindsgaul mannequins easily. Other then the mint condition smocks on the market or those without insignia, this one is a actual battle worn smock that still retains the character of war. The smock is a perfect example of a smock that saw action.

A superb(!) example of the first type M38 paratrooper helmet to follow the pre war double decal model in 1940. First issued in 1940 it still has the early aluminum liner and a low lot number 719. Nicely marked ET68 indicating production by Eisen- u. Huettenwerke, Thale, Harz. The helmet has a size 68 shell and a large size 58 liner. The liner is the early aluminum type with light grey padding material. The helmet retains all 4 of its original early type vented bolts and their nuts. This is probably one of the first helmets to be finished in feldgrau with a single decal in 1940. Surely the best M38 paratrooper helmet we’ve ever had on offer!

Hard to find first model Y-strap with hidden stitches on the front and aluminum hardware. Nicely marked gmk 41 indicating production by Kroymann & Co. GmbH , Schuh- u. Sportartikel-Fabrik in 1941. Early Y-straps with hidden stitch construction and aluminum hardware are only scarcely encountered.

A very nice M42 Kochgeschirr marked WJ43. The messkit is painted red oxide covered externally finished in olive paint. The messkit retains up to 95% of its original brown finish.

Nice short gasmask canister in wartime Luftwaffe field repaint. The canister retains up to 90% of its wartime field applied Luftwaffe bluegray paint. Hard to find Luftwaffe gasmask!

A nice two tone luftwaffe camouflage helmet in very good condition. The helmet retains up to 85% of its original two-tone camouflage paint. On the left side of the helmet the Luftwaffe decal can clearly be seen through the camouflage paint. Interesting to see is that this late war helmet has been made on a “monday morning” and has the rivet and vent holes misaligned by a few centimeters. The helmets shell is a nice size 64 with its original size 57 liner. The helmet is full of character and patina. A great camouflage helmet priced competitively!

Rare to find spare set of a long and short strap for the pre war gasmask canister. Mostly missing, damaged or not in good condition this mint set would nicely attribute a pre war tall or short gasmask canister!

Hard to find in used condition. Nice original A-frame messkit strap. A A-frame in used condition is easily found, but finding a matching used strap is hard!

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. 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 to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

A hard to find mid war German helmet net in mint condition. Not to be confused with the late war helmet nets with the open ends. Hard to find mid war helmet net with all the original hardware. Can’t be upgraded!

A superb, near mint example of a Fliegerleuchtpistole L. These flare pistols where used by flying personnel of the Luftwaffe on missions. Nicely marked gpt 1943 indicating production by Gustav Bittner Werke. The gun can fire two flares, the left, right or both at the same time. Hard to upgrade piece, surely the best flare gun I’ve owned so far.

The flare pistol is in good working condition and free to own anyone older then 18 in the Netherlands. I will not and can not export this piece outside of the Netherlands.

A nice though single M43 shoulderstrap for infantry troops or Infanterietruppen. The shoulderstrap is in very good unissued condition and is constructed out of coarse Italian wool bordered with rayon white piping.
