German camo helmet

Beautiful and unique set of wire cutters in their original battle damaged leather pouch. The pouch clearly shows the entrance and exit places from bullets, shrapnel would create a completely different damage pattern. This is the first time that I have encountered battle damaged pioneer equipment, let alone with multiple bullet holes. The pouch is a nice early leather example marked P. H. Riebel & Söhne, Ingolstadt 1939. Beautiful and extremely interesting battle damaged set!

Nice pre war K98 ammunition pouch in strong used, but undamaged condition. The pouch is nicely marked Carl Ackva Lederfabrik, Bad Kreuznach 1936!

US army issued bayonet for the M1 garand in very good condition. The bayonet is nicely marked UC 1942 which indicates production by Utica Cutlery in 1942. Note that this is the long variant!

Textbook second model Luftwaffe dagger by Weiersberg in excellent condition. The dagger has a beautiful red brown grip which is a rare feature to find. The dagger retains its portepee but is void of its hangers. The dagger would be very hard to upgrade!

Puma fighting knife in excellent condition. The blade still retains most of its cross hatching and the scabbard retains up to 98% of its factory finish. There is a small chip missing from the grip which is pictured. Hard to upgrade and aesthetic piece!

Extremely scarce and rare pre war Waffen-SS EM/NCO belt buckle. This is example is marked RZM 57 which indicates production by M. Winter. This is believed to be one of the earliest examples that exist and is one of the most sought after variants of Waffen-SS belt buckles! Typical pre war example made out of nickel (Alpacca) which naturally has the shiny silver colour . Very rare example in excellent condition!

A must have for every SOE or British collector; this revised book by Michael Side and Anders Thygesen compiles most if not all known SOE items. A reference of drop containers, weapons, explosives, manuals, communication devises and certain missions. The book is not openly available to the open market as it has been printed in a very limited run. I have 15 examples in stock and after those are sold it will be very hard to obtain a copy. The items showed in the book go beyond rare; most of them meant for one time use and destroy after only. Hence the rarity of these items in the book. A great reference book with great, in depth information!
