German helmet

Original Waffen-SS / NSKK rank tab tresse. Original piece enough for one rank tab. One piece available.

Close to mint most likely unissued reversible grey camouflage hood or Kopfhaube. The hood is an almost mint probably unissued example that would be hard to upgrade.

Beautiful folding E-tool complete with the second pattern pressstoff carrier. The E-tool itself is nicely marked gcq 41 which indicates production by Heinrich Jung & Sohn, Gesenkschmiede, Halver. The second pattern pressstoff carrier is nicely marked not the back of the belt loop 1943 and with an unreadable RBNr. Unlike many if not all folding E-tools that are on the market today this one does not bear any signs of being repainted/cleaned or repaired. Superb set in very good close to mint condition that would be hard if not impossible to upgrade!

Very nice Luftwaffe gasmask canister with M38 mask.The canister externally features a field applied blue Luftwaffe overpaint. The canister retains up to 90% of the period repaint, and comes with its period affixed straps. The tall canister is nicely named on the inside of the lid to Gefr Wöhler with white paint. The canister also features a label with the name A. Wöhler and with a feldpostnummer F.14432. The Feldpost number indicates:

(15.9.1940-31.1.1941) 2. Trägerfrequenz-Kompanie
Nachrichten-Abteilung z.b.V. 648
(1.2.1941-11.7.1941) 2. Trägerfrequenz-Kompanie 648.

 

 

 

 

Rare original short pre war gasmask canister in very good condition. The canister is nicely marked with a logo featuring a T. and the date 1936, which producer this indicates is still unclear. The inside of the canister features a nice early ink stamped Waffenamt. The canister features a green canvas M38 mask. The outside of the canister has several painted tactical symbols in white, red and light blue paint!

Excellent single Canadian made Royal Corps of Signals duty/active service armband. Worn by signal troops and dispatch riders are known to wear these a lot as well.

A very nice brown Pistole 35(p) Radom holster. The holster is in good lightly used condition. Inside its nicely named and marked bnz P35(p) 1943.

Textbook first pattern orange butterdish or Fettbuchse marked with a 3 letter code which is rare to encounter on bakelite items. The butterdish is marked ggj/K, it is still unclear which maker ggj indicates.

Nice original long gasmask canister strap. Early example with aluminum hardware.

Rare original issue cardboard Scho-Ka-Kola ration chocolate packaging in good used condition. Whilst most of these are made in metal; this is a rare 1943 dated variant in cardboard.

Beautiful M42 late war canteen with typical late war gabardine cover which is in almost mint and probably unissued condition. The canteen is nicely marked CFL 44 which indicates production by Carl Feldhaus Aluminium und Metallwerke, Lüdenscheid in 1944. The green painted inside of the cup is typical for CFL 44 produced cups.

A textbook M42 canteen which is in almost mint condition and looks unissued. The canteen is nicely marked MN 43 indicating production by Menesa Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar. Very nice detail is the cup which is very dark green painted.

Exceptional late war M31 breadbag in an atypical construction. The breadbag is constructed out of a very smooth yet atypical screen printed material which I have only seen a few times before! The breadbag has a nice mixture of black pebbled leather and smooth brown leather inside. This stunning example is in stone mint condition and is most likely unissued.

A nice M31 messkit marked MN 44 indicating production by Metallindustrie GmbH. Neunkirchen-Saar (MENESA) in 1942. The messkit still retains up to 90% of its original paint.

Textbook tropical breadbag strap in good used condition. Early variation with aluminum hardware.
