Textbook, uniform removed US army sleeve flag insignia. Early pattern printed on cotton that came on wool armbands but often sewn directly to the sleeve. These sleeve insignias were worn as early as the invasion in North Africa to as late as operation Varsity. Rare example in good, been there condition.

Hard to find spare in good used condition. Often missing from many helmets, this is a perfect addition to a helmet with some patina.

Rare wartime barrel changing mitt for the MG34 and MG42. When firing the MG34 and MG42 continuously the German soldiers where presented with a harsh and difficult task: changing the barrel. The MG34 and MG42 where both made with a quick-change barrel and to help in the changing of the barrel these gloves where invented and issued. These gloves where issued with the accessories of the MG34 and MG42. It is simply used by placing the hand under the strap and using the pad to cover your hand when you grab the hot, sometimes even glowing barrel. The barrel is then placed in the Laufschützer to cool down and a cool new barrel is inserted. According to regulations, the barrel had to be changed after 150 rounds fired continuously. Hard to find item!

Heer Field blouse in unissued condition. Originally a Dutch, pre war Grove Wol garment; this has been re made into a German army field blouse. Nice for restoration!

Excellent M35 Heer double decal helmet with period masked tricolor decal. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and period placed chinstrap both in good worn condition. The helmet retains its Heer decal up to 90% and its tricolor decal is nicely period masked in Feldgrau paint. The helmet is a typical helmet as issued and worn in the 1940 campaigns when the tricolor decal was ordered removed or masked.

Stripped, combat worn EM M41 field blouse for a (Ober)Gefreiter. The jacket has a few period repairs and shows a lot of wear. A truly combat worn tunic that could be displayed as is; or restored. I will leave the choice with the buyer.

Textbook ‘Garand’ belt in good, lightly used condition.

Minty Waffen-SS Erbsentarn camouflage field blouse in smooth Italian cotton. The garment is a superb example showing its bright and contrast rich colours that would be very hard to upgrade. Nicely marked Betr. Ra. indicating production by Betriebswerk Ravensbrück (Texled). Most of these garments feature heavily frayed button holes, holes or faded colours. At some point, most probably post war; a stamp was added inside inside reading SA-Spez.-Div Feldhernhalle. The buttons to the front have been moved about 2CM to accommodate a larger waist. There is a area of light wear to the back but no fading. The garment is near perfect and would be a very good addition to any SS collection. For sure one of the best Erbsentarn garments I have had the pleasure to offer with the best colour scheme!

Excellent, late war heer M42 mantel in unissued condition. There is one small moth hole between the two rows of buttons; other then that it looks to be undamaged and totally mint. The mantel is a textbook example that would be very hard to upgrade.
