German camo helmet

Luftwaffe FL 30154-2 life preserver by Dräger in used condition. This life preserver is complete with the empty air bottle. The vest was period modified with the addition of leather waist strap for the otherwise webbing tape which was easily damaged. The vest is in good used condition and nice for a flight mannequin!

No shipping outside of Europe due to the airbottle!

German POW rucksack made from Zeltbahn material in good condition. After world war two a lot of German POW’s lost most if not all of their posessions. Items such as rucksacks became rare for the POW’s returning home. These men are known as Heimkehrer. With no means of buying new clothing or equipment everything that was stocked in the POW camps was utilised creating a miriad of rucksacks in all kinds of material, mostly tent material. I have seen many different variants, none of them are exactly the same. My guess is that every POW camp designed their own pattern with the materials available. This example fits right in this area. A genuine Heimkehrer Rucksack in good condition. Although most people would sell this as a ‘field made’ item, one could never prove that and I firmly believe that most of these were made in the POW camps. Nice piece!

M44 rucksack in blue canvas with webbing straps. Not to be confused with a Luftwaffe issue rucksack; this one was meant to be issued to the Heer, Waffen-SS, Luftwaffe and the Kriegsmarine. Nice late war variant in used condition!

Small rucksack marked H. Kruge 1940 in good used condition. Complete with its two webbing carrying straps.
