German helmet

A rare enameled M42 messkit marked WJ44.  A clean messkit, hard to upgrade!

Textbook first world war Butcher bayonet Frister & Rossmann, Berlin.

Very nice Luftwaffe issued K98 bayonet frog. This example is a typical early/pre war Luftwaffe issue made out of chocolate brown leather with aluminium rivets and a LBA marking which is a specific Luftwaffe acceptance mark.

Textbook pre war Luftwaffe K98 pouch, most probably made by Gustav Sudbrock and dated 1938. There is one cut to the lower closing leather; otherwise in fine condition.

Textbook named Kragenbinde in good worn condition.

Textbook US M3 fighting knife in good used condition. The knife is marked M3 Camillus and comes with the typical US M8 scabbard.

Nice original leather Erkennungsmarke pouch in very good condition. Would be easily matched to a Erkennungsmarke in the same condition.

Textbook US ike jacket for a Corporal in the 101st Airborne Division. The jacket is in good, lightly worn condition and comes with the Fouragere’s for the Dutch and Belgian campaigns. The jacket retains wartime sewn insignia but a collector added the infantry collar disc and the sterling marked jumpwing. Otherwise it is a untouched Ike jacket in good condition. The jacket is not named but a great display piece with period sewn and dogtag chain adorned 101st patch!

Salty Luftwaffe M43 field cap with removed insignia. The cap is a good, worn example which is hard to find nowadays. The cap is a size 56 and is marked 0/0620/0003 1944 which refers to production by Lohmann KG, Fahr (Rheinpro.), Fabrikation v. Verbandwatte u, Verbandmitteln a.A. in 1944.  The cap is worn and comes with the grime and dirt you’d expect.

Rare original Fallschirmjäger Gasmask bag in combat worn condition. The bag is a typical example marked ebd inside. The bag is in strong worn condition with a period repair to the D-ring on the long strap. The zipper is original to the bag and in good functional condition. The pull on the zipper is resewn but with original wooden pull. The bag retains its functional press studs and internal reinforcement. The bag is a iconic piece to any Fallschirmjäger equipment setup, rarer then a helmet!

Excellent and very rare green coloured urea resin M31/M42 canteen cup. Based on the condition I would say that this is a ground dug example which has affected the marking as well but can still be deciphered to MPD code 1W/K which indicates production by Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Reichsgau Sudetenland and that the used material is Urea resin (a certain type of bakelite) with an organic filler material. Very rare cup in ground dug condition!

 

Original US Glider Infantry Garrison cap patch in very good condition.

Original US Airborne issue Let-down rope as issued to airborne troops prior to D-Day. Rare to find original piece that would be a nice addition to any Airborne display!

Textbook US Army buckle boots in good unissued condition. The boots are in size 8 and come with a unissued pair of issue laces. The boots have never been worn and in theory would be ready to be worn!

Textbook US M1917 .30 ammunition belt in good used condition.
