German helmet

Original maker marked silver wound badge in as found condition. Nicely marked “L/13” indicating production by Paul Meybauer, Berlin.

Original black wound badge with wide hinge set up. Textbook but uncommon piece in very good condition still retaining  most of its original black factory finish. Nicely marked “32” indicating production by Wilhelm Hobacher. The back of the badge is typical for this maker; Hobacher used loads of soldering attaching their hardware creating large areas of solder on the top and bottom of the back of the badge.

M42 helmet camouflage helmet marked EF 66 indicating production by Emaillierwerke A.G., Fulda. The helmet retains its factory fitted liner and period placed chinstrap. The three liner rivets sit embedded in its camouflage overpaint. The helmet features a green rough overpaint with a red brown wash on top. The helmet is named inside to Oberleutnant Kügler which is a high and uncommon rank to find in any helmet. Excellent late war combat helmet named to a officer.

Textbook original Heer tropical Breeches in unissued condition. Nicely marked with RBNr. Medium size that should fit most if not all modern militaria mannequins.

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.

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.

The helmet retains both original decals in good clear condition. Nice period example that would look great in a helmet collection!
