German camo helmet

Typical Heer M36 converted field blouse. This tunic started his life in a larger size but was period tailored down. As the war progressed, the Germans had loads of pre war, large sized garments that were re cut in more normal sizes to attribute to the war effort. The garment features its period applied insignia and is a good and affordable M36 field blouse!

Rare, untouched late war M38 ‘Flared Rim’ Fallschirmjäger helmet in three-tone camouflage. The helmet is a textbook late war example with flared rim shell and slotted bolts in the shell size 68. The helmet retains its wartime applied three-tone camouflage paint finish which was painted on top of a helmet net that was tucked between the liner and the shell. The helmet has its period fitted size 58 liner and chinstrap. The helmet is a very aesthetic, late war camouflage helmet that would be very hard to upgrade. For sure a great helmet for a Ardennes offensive mannequin setup!

Textbook Heer single decal M42 helmet marked EF66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke Fulda. The helmet retains its factory installed liner and period fitted chinstrap. The helmet retains its factory applied paint and decal up to 75%. Nice example!

The closing latches at one point have been replaced in the French army!

Textbook Iron Cross first class marked L/13 indicating production by Mayer. Hard to find original screw back EK1 in very good condition!

Unissued Luftwaffe pair of sleeve ranks for a Leutnant, still tied together with their original pricetag. Hard to upgrade pieces!

Perfect late war production webbing A-frame strap in stone mint condition. Beautiful example with a mixture of used materials!

Late war manufactured “tropical” breadbag strap in good condition. The strap is made with webbing reinforcements around the steel hooks. Nice example!

Textbook late war manufactured breadbag strap in very good condition. Its seems that at some point something was attached to the strap above the hooks, maybe something like name labels but this is unclear. Nice example in good used condition!

Straight E-tool in lightly used condition. Nicely maker marked REX 1943 indicating production by Schwarzwälder Unternehmen der Schmiedetechnik, Baiersbronn – Friedrichstal. Nice clean example in very good condition that is quite hard to obtain nowadays.

Very nice gascape pouch in combat used condition. These pouches are much harder to find in used condition in contrast to the mint, unissued example

Excellent rubberized gas cape pouch in excellent, unissued condition. The pouch is nicely marked Gebrüder Wendler G.m.b.H in a white circular ink stamp and features nice resin closing buttons!

Textbook late war gasmask filter pouch in unissued condition. Very rare example manufactured from a atypical rough fabric with two reddish press studs. These is one of the very few examples there are known with this construction! Nice and rare example!

Nice original MG42 ruptured cartridge remover marked hoz WaA14 indicating production by Bernhard Zade, Berlin. This tool is a standard component from the MG tool kit! Unlike the MG34 example the MG42 variant is very hard to find!

Nice and original USAAF Pilot silver wings. This is a textbook example nicely marked Sterling. This is the small 2” variant in width of the wings!

Textbook and interesting Litzmannstadt production Rucksack. The rucksack has the typical all webbing construction and shows the usage of captured and dissembled British webbing in the construction as well as suspected. The rucksack is nice and clearly marked Wirtschaftsamt Litzmannstadt. Nice details are the blue fabric edges! Excellent and impossible to upgrade rucksack!

These Y-straps are made in the Ghetto of Lodz, Poland which the Germans renamed into “Litzmannstadt”. They are made using parts of captured British equipment items. These British equipment items where left in 1940 when the British Expeditionary Force evacuated to the United Kingdom. The Germans sent these for recycling and a lot of work was put in disassembling every British equipment piece and recycling the individual parts into German army equipment. This Y-strap is a beautiful example of the equipment that was made in Litzmannstadt. In contrast to most encountered Litzmannstadt manufactured Y-straps this example is in combat used condition. Excellent example!
