German camo helmet

Interesting tailor made and privately purchased shoulderstraps for a Hauptfeldwebel der Artillerie. Interesting design feature that these straps were made to be sold to Heer and Luftwaffe troops as they are fully reversible.

Beautiful Heer M35 single decal helmet marked ET66 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet is a beautiful example of a wartime reissued helmet with a thick textured camouflage paint. The helmet retains up to 85% of its period paint finish and period installed liner. The split pins are nearly void of paint which is typical for this thick textured paint which adheres difficulty and easily chips off. A very nice original helmet with a nice thick camouflage paint!

Excellent and rare first pattern tropical Heer pith helmet. The pith helmet is in good used condition and is complete with both metal decals and the original leather chinstrap. The pith helmet retains its factory installed liner and is a perfect example for the tropical front collector!

Textbook Heer EM/NCO sidecap in untouched condition. The cap is a nice large size 60 with period factory zig zag sewn insignia.

Textbook Heer Artillerie EM / NCO visor in untouched condition. A bit bent, but nothing that could not be fixed with steam and a display head.

Rare original NSDAP political leader visor cap in as found condition. The visor retains its period applied insignia and chinstrap. The sweatband is repaired to the front with a bit of glue. Otherwise the visor is in good untouched as found condition.

Textbook Deutsche Volkssturm armband in very good condition!

Excellent condition German vehicle heater in very good, undamaged and probably working condition. The heater retains the full embossed and stenciled text and is nicely dated 1942. Impossible to upgrade!

Textbook first pattern butterdish manufactured out of black coloured urea or phenolic resin. The lid and the bottom are matching and both parts are nicely marked 3X/31. Perfect example featuring initials on the lid!

Textbook original straight E-tool in good but a bit rusty condition. The E-tool is nicely marked R. Dahlmann 1943. Nice original example!

Nice set consisting out of a folding E-tool complete with its first pattern carrier manufactured out of Pressstoff. The set seems to be untouched but the top cover of the carrier has been resewn at some point. The carrier is nicely marked Sachs & Deisselberg, Hamburg 1940. Very nice set with a nice named first pattern carrier!

Messkits and canteens enameled in these colours are attributed to be made by the Deutsche Emailwarenfabrik (DEF) run by Oskar Schindler. Messkits and canteens, unmarked, in these specific colours have been found in the old factory storage of the former DEF.  There are several other makers of enameled steel canteens and messkits but they all carry different characteristic features such as markings or specific colours. No other maker utilizes these light gray and blue colours and lacks markings. The light blue “wash” on top of the enamel is one of the typical features. The messkit is in good used condition. A very nice and rare messkit!

Textbook binoculars or Dienstglas strap in very good condition. The strap comes complete with its black painted pips!

Excellent Dienstglas buttoning tab or Knöpflasche in very good, used condition. Perfect spare example!

Unmarked bakelite rain cover or Okularschütz in a beautiful slightly used condition. Hard to find as a spare in this condition!

Beautiful Panzer I desk model on a double marble base. Textbook Panzer 1 model in complete condition. The searchlight and turret both rotate. The buckle is for scale and is not a part of the offering. Hard to find model!
