German helmet

Excellent pre war equipment strap in a beautiful brown colour. The strap is nicely marked Henseler & Co., Ulm 1935(!) and features a unit stamp: 12./G.J.R. 100 I (12e Kompanie, Gebirgsjäger-Regiment 100). Typical pre war example with high quality leather and aluminium hardware. Hard to find 1935 dated example with a unit mark from a sought after regiment!

Nice large capacity canteen intended to carry gasoline or “benzin” as was part of the Luftwaffe survival kit which was carried onto all types of plains! The canteen is marked ESB 43 which indicates Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1943. Sadly the black painted font has worn off but the canteen is still clearly recognizable by the yellow paint!

Nice mismatched M31 mess kit or “Kochgeschirre M 31 (Alum.)” with matching field repaint. The lid itself is marked HRE 38 (Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen) and the kettle itself is marked ZPStZ 41 (Zieh, Press u. Stanzwerk, Schwarz & Co., Zwintschona-Halle). Nice example with a period mismatched field repaint!

Textbook US Messkit with complete marked utensil set.

Textbook US army sewing kit complete with original contents.

Excellent late war manufactured K98 ammunition pouch in unissued, mint condition. The pouch is clearly marked RBNr. but this is hard to read or photograph. Textbook late war example in mint condition!

Pre war Czechoslovakian made VZ24 bayonet in good used condition. The bayonet is complete with its original scabbard and both remain in good condition!

Textbook US medical flag in good used condition. Hard to find medical attribute for the specialized Medical collector.

Nice original M31 canteen in good used condition. Both the flask itself and the cover are nicely marked W.A.L. 42 indicating production by Westfalische Aluminium Industrie, Junger & Co., Lüdenscheid in 1942. Nice combination of brown and black leather and typical configuration with a bakelite drinking cup!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is unmarked. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SScombat mannequin!

A very nice original lightweight Y-strap as issued and used by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer). Beautifully dated and marked M. Thielermann, 1939. The Y-strap is in good used condition and leather is still rather supple. Hard to find pre war example with aluminium hardware!

Matching issue tent pegs in unissued condition. The pegs are typical pressed wood construction encapsulated in bakelite. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Excellent leather equipment belt in good condition. The belt measures roughly 95cm in length and features therefore the marking “95”. The belt is nicely marked jnb 1942 and which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer in 1943. Nice mid war example in good condition!

Beautiful army issue leather compass carrying strap with brass hardware which makes it most likely that it’s a pre war produced carrying strap. The strap is in good condition and is very hard to find as a spare in this condition!

Original aluminium spoon fork combination or Göffel in used condition. This is typical WSuCL produced example but unlike 99% of these this example has been issued and used. Nice example!
