German helmet

Matching Heer Panzerjäger officers collar tabs in unissued condition.

Excellent and uncommon blue MGZ40 in its original factory case with collimator, brush, cleaning cloth and both filters. The can is in very good condition with up to 90% of its factory paint, spring closure, pull tab and backstraps fully intact. The case has a wartime repair in the weld in the back of the lid. Otherwise its undamaged! The case and scope are both marked dhq indicating production J.D. Möller G.m.b.H., Wedel. The MGZ40 is clear and in fully adjustable condition. The accessories that are missing in 9/10 cases are all there. The collimator for adjusting multiple Lafettes, the cleaning brush with cloth for cleaning the lenses and both colored lenses. It comes with its rubber eyecup which is in my opinion a modern replacement. A superb set in original finish and working condition! If you want just one superb MG42 Lafette display; this is it!

Nice original single Luftwaffe collar tab for a Oberst der Generalstab in good used condition.

Matching Heer shoulderboards for a Major der Infanterie. The shoulderboards silver wire shows a lot of patina. This type was supposed to be sewn on the tunic. Interesting is that these feature a grommet as reinforcement!

Single original Heer shoulderstrap with period added regimental cyphers for Infanterie-Divisions-Nachschubführer 15.

Very nice original Heer/Waffen-SS Collar liner or Kragenbinde. These collar liners where standard in every tunic but are virtually always missing from the garment! Nice example with pressed paper button!

Beautiful set of buttons and tunic hooks as used on NSDAP political leader tunics. 5 small buttons, 6 large buttons and 2 tunic hooks.

Beautiful unissued set of period privately purchased gloves which were highly in demand by officers. These gloves are constructed out of a very thin but warm type of fabric which would make it easy to use your hands even when wearing the gloves. The gloves are a medium to large size and would be great on a combat officers mannequin or for a personal item display!

General purpose dust goggles or “Umbral” goggles as patented and produced by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The construction of the goggles indicate that it’s late war production. The goggles itself are made out of a sort of tan coloured rubberized material which is unusual and looks great!

Matching issue tent pegs in unissued condition. The legs are typical pressed wood construction encapsulated in bakelite. Every soldier was issued one pole, two pegs and one Zeltleine together with his Zeltbahn.

Textbook late war produced black leather K98 bayonet frog. The frog is nicely marked on the back with RBNr. 0/0373/0005. The frog is in stone mint and most likely unissued condition!

Textbook mid war K98 bayonet frog constructed from black coloured leather. The frog is beautifully marked Fried. (rich) Schäfer Ulm/Do. 1942. The frog is in stone mint and most likely unissued condition!

Fully functional MG42 sustained fire tripod or Lafette, used for direct and indirect fire. The Lafette is a textbook wartime produced example using wartime parts. It’s a early variant marked fsu 1942 indicating production by Excelsior Fahrrad und Motorradwerk, Brandenburg. The Lafette was reissued post war in the Austrian army but still retains most if not all of its wartime components. The Lafette has been repainted; but a quick scratch test reveals that most probably you can reveal most of the original paint that’s still underneath! If you look at the second and third picture you can see what a piece of wood or plastic can do; you can easily clean off the post war paint without much hassle. A really easy restoration! The Lafette retains its original markings, the original Uberschiesstabel and a very low serial of 349 which is 13 numbers away from the earliest found example. This is a great example that would be a great base to clean to reveal its original finish; which is a rare feature to any Lafette!

PLEASE NOTE THAT ADDITIONAL POSTAGE FEES WILL BE CHARGED AFTER ORDERING due to the heavy weight. This will probably be an extra 50 euro for Europe, and 200 for outside of Europe. Pickup in our warehouse in Tampere, Finland is possible.

Textbook pre war RG34 cleaning chain with aluminum links.

Two Waffenentgiftungsmittel containers in mixed phenolic resin.

The Italian army messkit (Gavetta Modello 1930) was a commonly seen item within the German army. Prior to re-issue in the German army they where mostly painted green by the Germans. This example came out of a small find in Italy just recently and would be hard to upgrade.

Textbook issue gascape pouch in very good, IMO unissued condition.
