German helmet

Set of Wehrmacht issue dust goggles in their original pouch (Augenschützer42 mit Trageumschlag). The German army used and issued a lot of different types of goggles and glasses to its troops. Under which these in 1942 developed dust goggles which were inexpensive and easily mass produced. These were issued in two different types, with coloured lenses for protection of the sun as well, and with clear lenses for only dust protection. This set consist out of one pair of goggles with coloured lenses and one normal pair of goggles, together in the original pouch. The pouch is nicely marked gng which indicates production by Auer Gesellschaft AG, Guben. Nice set of dust goggles!

Nice original and most likely combat used brown coloured P08 Luger holster. The holster is nicely dated and produced in 1939 which can be clearly seen by the high quality leather. The holster is marked and made by O. Reichel, Lengefeld. Honest P08 Luger Holster in good used condition!

A nice original German cavalry saddle bag or Packtasche 34 in good used condition. These packs where hung on the saddle and worn on the back when dismounted. It was the Cavalrist rucksack. This example is nicely marked grz 1943 which indicates production by Gebr. Krueger, Lederwarenfabrik, Breslau. The pack is in great supple condition and is made from high quality smooth and pebbled leather. Hard to upgrade imo!

Rare original mid to late war M38 paratrooper helmet chinstraps. Often cut, missing or damaged on M38 paratrooper helmets, this would be a perfect substitute. All 12 eyelets are made in aluminum, the buckle is painted steel with working female presstud. Both male press studs are present. The chinstrap is supple and would easily add to any incomplete paratrooper helmet. Impossible to find spare!

Textbook and rare original M40 helmet marked SE64 indicating production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke AG. The helmet retains its original white winter camouflage overpaint up to 75%. The helmet retains its factory installed liner which shows signs of being blood soaked. Combined with a cut chinstrap, it indicates it was removed from a soldier killed in action. The helmet is a rare and fantastic original winter camouflage helmet that would be very hard to upgrade. With most of these on the market being fake examples; this is one of the few original ‘one-looker’ winter camouflage helmets that I have had the pleasure to offer!

Rare and matching musicians Schwalbennester or swallows nests. These patches where to be worn on the top of the sleeves. The nests are marked Rudolf Vordemberge Militäreffektenfabrik Osnabrück 1940. Rare to find examples with Panzergrenadier green piping.

Rare original ZF41 scope with its original third pattern tan case marked jvb. Still retaining up to 95% of its original factory tan paint and comes with its rare original brush. The scope is a textbook piece with original mount and both of the original sunshades. In a sea of fakes, here is a real one in unissued condition.

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 RBNr. 0/0990/0204 which indicates a still unknown manufacturer. Excellent example in good used condition!

Excellent Y-strap in very good, most likely unissued condition. The Y-strap is nicely marked RBNr. 0/0485/0002 which indicates production by an unknown manufacturer. Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent and combat used Y-strap in a overall great condition.  The Y-strap is sadly not visibly marked. This Y-strap is nicely personalized and named to “Pi. B. Qüer” (Pionier B. Qüer) which indicates this Y-strap was used by a pioneer which makes this Y-strap an extremely interesting example. Named or personalized Y-straps are hard to come by and personalized equipment is always wanted! Excellent example to complete any Wehrmacht or Waffen-SS combat mannequin!

Excellent example in great used condition!

Excellent aluminium Waffen-SS EM/NCO buckle in good, combat used condition. The belt buckle is clearly marked “RZM 822/37 SS” which indicates that this pre war example was produced in 1937 by a still unknown manufacturer (822).

Excellent set of early war production (1940) issue jackboots or Knöbelbecher in an aesthetic bright brown colour. The sole clearly shows the marking 40 which indicates that this matching pair of jackboots was produced in 1940. The boots are not or hardly worn and only show some minor traces of age, the boots are complete with all of its wartime applied metal hardware on both the soles. The boots retain their very nice bright brown colour which would look perfect on any mannequin. The issue jackboots come in a nice large size 29 1/2 which translates roughly to a modern European size 44+ which would easily fit most if not all modern mannequins! Excellent pair of textbook 1940 dated brown issued jackboots!

Rare and textbook matching pair of Waffen-SS ‘Totenkopf’ collar tabs in salty, uniform removed condition. The tabs no longer retain the metal rank pips but the traces of these pips are clearly visible and could be restored if wanted. These were bought by me, straight from the grandson of a Dutch resistance member who collected ‘souvenirs’ at the end of the war in and around the town of Breda. The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A salty but original set, one that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

The lot was acquired by me, straight from the family. A salty but original set, one that was never in a collection before and you would never ever have to doubt the authenticity!

Rare mid to late war matching pair of shoulderstraps for a Waffen-SS EM, with rayon piping and typical zigzag edged finish. The pair is in untouched, as found condition and would be a great addition to any combat worn field blouse!
