German helmet

These cutlery sets were issued to enlisted men, NCO’s and officers. The set is in good used condition and would normally be one of the standard breadbag items! This example is nicely marked GAG 43 which indicates production by Gustav Auerswald, Besteckfabrik, Grünhain/Sa. 

Beautiful period Seifix shoe polish or Bohnerwachs tin in great condition. Typical item which would be carried in the breadbag by German troops.

General purpose dust goggles or “Umbral” goggles as patented and produced by Carl Zeiss, Jena. The construction of the goggles and the pouch indicates that this is a late war production set. The goggles are featuring uncommon green coloured lenses but this is hard to see on the photographs. Ersatz construction made out multiple pieces which can be observed on the top of the goggles!
