German helmet

A nice grouping of 7 patches worn in the Pacific Theatre of Operations (PTO).

Original US M6 binoculars with case and straps.

Nice and original USAAF Aerial Gunner silver wings. This is a textbook example which is made by N.S. Meyer Inc. New York. This is a nice 3” variant in width of the wings!

Nice and hard to find USAAF Marksman qualification badge with Aerial Gunner clasp marked Sterling on the back which indicates the clasp is made out of Sterling silver. Nice original piece!

US Dog tag grouping to Paul Pitcock (possibly the best pilots name?) who first enlisted in world war two, and reinlisted in 1951. The group also contains his ID bracelet that he was gifted from his mother.

Textbook US rubberized musette bag marked THE LANGDON TENT & AWNING CO Manufactured in 1942. The musette bag is in hard used condition and deformed. Nicely personalized with: Mayes, 0-354477.

Rubberized US M1936 musette bag marked Atlas Mfg. Co. 1942 in good used condition. Nice little detail is the period attached rope to make the straps bigger!

Textbook original US M1936 musette bag in good used condition. Nicely marked Atlantic Products Corp. 1943 and with the number M-8259. 

Beautiful crushed Luftwaffe visor in strong worn condition. The visor retains a nice crushed shape which was obtained by removing the internal stiffener. This was a popular modification by many soldiers and officers in all branches. The visor looks to have a resewn eagle but is otherwise untouched. Very rare to find a original crushed Luftwaffe visor!

Rare and probably unique Waffen-SS M45 field blouse marked SS-BW. Typical late war garment in very good condition. The jacket is made out of the typical late war recycled wool partially lined with blue grey hbt rayon. The garment was at some point ‘restored’ with collar tabs which were glued to the collar. This would easily be camouflaged with a set of collar tabs. The sleeve shows a typical late war Waffen-SS sleeve eagle. The garment is the last evolution of the field blouse, ommitting a further 3 metal and 8 paper buttons from the already simplified M44 field blouse. The buttons show different markings and dates, as far as I can see they have always been with the garment. The jacket is probably the rarest Waffen-SS wool garment that I have had the chance to offer.

Beautiful Heer EM/NCO issue breeches in mint condition. The breeches are nicely marked Lago-Wien.

Rare original Waffen-SS officers belt buckle by Overhoff & Cie, Lüdenscheid marked RZM 36/40 indicating production in 1940. The buckle is in very good condition retaining its full silver frosting to the front.

Excellent aluminium Waffen-SS EM/NCO buckle in good, combat used condition. The belt buckle is clearly marked RZM 822/38 SS which indicates that this pre war example was produced in 1938 by a still unknown manufacturer (822). The buckle shows traces of usage and is a clearly combat used example! Excellent pre war produced aluminium Waffen-SS belt buckle!

Rare Luftwaffe ‘Crank Catch’ belt buckle marked Cristian Theodor Dicke, Lüdenscheid. Rare variant with the crank catch in very good condition!

Textbook Aluminum SS-VT cap button in as found condition. The cap button is marked RZM 155/39 indicating production by Assmann

Excellent Heer officers embroiled (bullion) breast eagle in uniform removed condition.

Textbook original close combat clasp marked JFS indicating production by Josef Feix & Söhne, Gablonz. Typical crimped in hinge and catch. Textbook piece in as found condition.

Excellent Y-strap in very good, close to mint and light used condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. This example is nicely named to Bents. on the leather O-ring cover which indicates this example has been issued! Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent late war lightweight Y-strap which was intended for usage by the Luftwaffe, Kriegsmarine and Kavallerie (Heer) but later on saw usage by all branches of the German forces. This example is nicely marked RFNr. 0/0494/0008. Excellent example in stone mint and unissued condition!

Rare Luftwaffe double decal proxy wedding helmet. These miniature helmets were given to brides at their long distance wedding, which were used during ceremony. The lady should put her hand on this miniature helmet when her soon to be husband puts his hand on his own combat helmet to take the wedding oath. A typical German military piece which shows how daily life was adapted to the “military lifestyle”. The helmet is in good condition with about 95% of its original factory paint. The helmet retains both original decals in good clear condition. Nice period example that would look great in a helmet collection!
