German helmet

“tropical” M31 1L canteen or Labeflasche with webbing straps in slightly used condition. The flask itself is nicely marked ESB 42 which indicates production by Eduard Sommerfeld, Berlin in 1942. Unusual but for sure original is the unmarked aluminium small 10cl canteen cup which was mainly seen on pre war medical canteens but can be encountered on all types of canteens throughout the war. These cups have been found on ESB canteens multiple times. Interesting canteen with a nice cup!

textbook late war construction canteen in hard used condition. The steel red painted flap itself is unmarked and the strap consists of Mixed leather in a late war two-piece construction and buckle without a roller. typical late war gabardine (smooth cloth) cover with the reduced 3 press studs. The cup is nicely marked with the 3 letter code gfc which indicates production by Julius Posselt, Gablonz an der Neisse, Reichsgau Sudetenland. The cup is MPD marked with the material S which indicates the usage of Phenolic resin (bakelite) with sawdust as the filler material.

Nice M40 pattern Heer breadbag in good used condition with an interesting mixture of leather sorts. This specific pattern constructed out of the light green fabric together with the leather reinforcements around the belt loops was only produced for a short period in 1940. The breadbag is nicely dated 1940, probably produced by Roymann & Co. but the stamp is not clearly readable. Nice and interesting M40 pattern breadbag in good condition!

Clear mapcase insert in good used condition. These where issued with map cases and used to keep maps dry in the rain and folded on the right place. These where also used to draw on to the smooth transparent surface to keep the maps unmarked. This example is nicely marked R. Erhardt, Poessneck 1936.

A very nice late war P38 soft shell holster. The holster is nicely maker marked 0/0833/0007 indicating production by Hans Römer, Neu-Ulm. Simply a superb late war P38 holster in mint condition, can not be upgraded!

Nice set of 2 matching equipment straps in close to mint condition. Both straps are marked with RBNr. 0/0676/0039 44 and are in perfect matching condition. Excellent matching set of 1944 dated straps in great condition!

Nice and interesting M38 gasmask in great condition. One of the straps is marked with an ink stamp Schutzpolizei-Dienstabteilung and named Rashhoter/6. Great textbook example of an M38 gasmask!

Unissued example made out of thin green fabric. This is a textbook late war production. The pouch shows almost no wear from storage and is in mint condition.

Early rubberized gasoline pouch in good used condition. Used examples in good condition are harder to find than unissued pieces!

These watches can often be seen on the wrists of German EM and NCO’s, way more common then the Dienstuhr issue pieces. The watch is in good condition and comes with its original period strap. Great mannequin accessory!

Beautiful period glasses with clip-on sun shades which would look great as an accessory on a mannequin. The sunglasses are complete with their original case and would be a great addition to a personal effects display as well.

Tent pole or Zeltstock 01 in hard used/been there condition which was issued to every soldier together with the Zeltbahn. (Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.) The tent pole is constructed out of wood with blued steel reinforcements on both ends, the tent pole measures approximately 37cm as it should!

Textbook Hitlerjugend belt buckle which is nicely marked A&S Ges. Gesch. RZM 17 which altogether indicates production by Assman & Sohne. Textbook example with brass catch in nice used condition!

Rare original Flemish made steel Hitlerjugend belt buckle in unissued condition. The buckle is a typical, Flemish made example with the tell tale silver paint with soldered catch and a typical non-RZM quality overall. There is discussion about the manufacturer of these buckles but the design and finish of these buckles is typical for the Flemish production for me. These buckles where recently found in the former Hitlerjugend recruitment office in Brugge, Belgium. Of 26 buckles found I have the opportunity to offer you several examples. There will not be a restock of these buckles as the source is empty.

Original Luftwaffe breast eagle in very good and unissued condition!

Nice original set of black leather Sanitäter pouches in good used condition. One pouch is nicely marked D.R.K. Sanitätslager Babelsberg, the other pouch is an early production and nicely marked Lederwarenwerk Carl Vogel, Cottbus 1936. The pouches are non-matching from maker but are found together as a set!

Extremely rare late war blue/grey coloured fabric rifle grenade pouches. These pouches are in combat used condition which is very rare and extremely scarce, in fact this is even the first set I have ever encountered! Typical construction with rough and smooth blue coloured webbing straps riveted to the fabric with LUX marked hardware. The inside of these pouches both feature 3 small sections in which a clip of 5 rifle grenade cartridges could be kept and to keep those cartridges separated from other ammunition!  Each pouch has a field applied white painted stencil to keep the type of grenades separated! The left bag carried the anti personnel rifle grenades or Gewehrsprenggranate (G. Spr.) and the right bag carried the anti tank grenades or Panzersprenggranate (P. Spr.) This is the first set of blue coloured grenade pouches with this typical construction in combat used condition and with field applied stencils I have ever seen and have the pleasure to offer. Stunning combat used set which would be impossible to upgrade!
