German helmet

Illegal resistance newspaper Vrij Nederland 10 September 1943

Stunning, untouched Luftwaffe M35 double decal helmet marked SE68 – 4454 which indicates production by Sachsichse Emaillierwerke AG. The helmet comes with its original factory fitted liner in size 61 which is nicely named Curly and the chocolate brown coloured chinstrap. The helmet comes in a very large size 68 which is very hard to find! The helmet clearly retains both of the original applied decals, the eagle retains around 65% and the national decal retains around 80/95%. The helmet retains almost 99% of its originally factory applied Luftwaffe blue paint and the original dome stamp. Textbook and stunning early production M35 double decal Luftwaffe helmet which is a real one looker!

Textbook CKL66 M42 no decal helmet in good condition. Marked CKL66 indicating production by Eissenhuttenwerke Thale. The helmet comes with its original factory mounted size 58 liner and 1944 dated chinstrap.

Nice original Proclamation calling all men over 18 for service in the Arbeitseinsatz. It was recently found hidden inside a diary, it still has a piece of this diary glued to it. This can easily be removed with steam or water. Or left as is.. A rare poster!

Rare original unissued pack of medic tags marked Emergency Medical tag US ARMY. These were carried and used by all medics, but are hard to find nowadays.

Two 7,92mm Ammunition boxes 15 Patr. S.m.E. 1944 in good condition with their original clearly readable labels!

New Testament Roman Catholic version presented by Army of the United States in very good condition.

Excellent and very rare Bakelite (phenolic resin) Berker produced flashlight. The flashlight is sadly missing one of the red coloured Bakelite pressing buttons to open the flashlight and the blue filter knob on front. The hinge has been fortified with some solder to prevent it from breaking, its unclear when this was done! Used but beautiful and extremely rare Bakelite Berker flashlight/torch. In my opinion the rarest flashlight used by the German armed forces during the second world war! The flashlight is obviously used but is still one of the best flashlights I have ever had the pleasure to offer!

Very nice original late war blue MG34 and MG42 ammunition drum marked ddf indicating production by Lohmann-Werke, A.-G., Bielefeld. The drum is in its original paint and storage grease and would be hard to upgrade.

Excellent leather A-frame strap in almost mint and most likely unissued condition. Hard to find as a spare for completing any A-frame! The strap is in good supple and unissued condition and would be a perfect addition to any A-frame!

Excellent equipment strap with the quick release strap. The strap is in mint and most likely unissued condition and is nicely marked Pelzer & Co. Kirn/N. 1942. Nice detail is that the loop is in Brown leather.

Original period foldable ear warmers or Kälteschutzklappen in good condition. These were privately purchased and worn by all branches in cold winters.

Beautiful and rare Göffel marked W.S.M. 41 Rostfrei which indicates production by Walter Solbach Metallbau in 1941. This Göffel is made out of stainless steel (Rostfrei) which is very unusual. Probably one of the rarest Göffels to find in great condition!

Stunning parade belt made by Hellman Uniformen, Erfurt. The leather tongue is beautifully marked Leibweite 85 which means waist width size 85cm. The belt itself is an early produced belt which features very high quality materials! The belt comes together with an original two piece construction aluminium buckle.

Beautiful original set of 12 white painted buttons on their original carton card. These white painted buttons can be found on the winter equipment or Winteranzug such as Wendejacke, Wendehosen etc. These factory white painted “winter camouflaged” buttons are really hard to find as spares!

Single Heer M36 Infantry or Infanterie shoulderstrap for a EM in Maschinengewehr-Abteilung 4. Shoulderstraps for a Maschinengewehr-Abteilung are really hard to find!
