German helmet

A mint late war M44 Sturmgepäck. This rucksack is in very good condition and would be a nice addition to any equipment collection. The black leather is in good supple condition.

A nice early first pattern mouse grey wool Waffen-SS pattern reversible parka trousers. The garment is in good used condition with some damages and staining. The garment features most of its originally sewn buttons. The garment is a large size and by no means to small for a modern mannequin! A nice set of combat worn parka trousers for a first pattern grey Waffen-SS parka !

Nice early war fur covered rucksack or Tornister. A very nice example in near mint condition. Actually very nice to find one in this condition. Still retains the backstrap and is nicely named on the main straps.

A nice late war matching pair of Gamaschen to be worn on top of the M37 Schnürschuhe. Nice mint pair – hard to upgrade!

Late war red lined cloth MG42 ammunition carrying bag. Typical late war construction in combat used condition. The bag is made with typical red lined cloth and steel based hardware. The bag is a roomy fit for a MG34 ammunition box, more snug with a late war steel example. This type most probably also doubles as a grenade carrying bag. Very nice late war ammunition bag!

Very nice pre war short handled wire cutter case with short handled wirecutters. The case is in very good, unissued condition. The leather cases are rare to find, especially in very good, unissued condition. The bottom of the case is marked 4.Kp indicating use by 4. Kompanie.

Wehrmacht Model (Fu.) B Throat Microphone or Kehlkopfmikrofon. The set is complete with it’s original wire and plug. Nice complete set in very good condition, hard to find piece of equipment!

Rare pre war Czech M34 helmet that was reissued in the Luftschutz. The helmet is in very good condition with over 95% paint and decal. The liner is also in lightly worn condition and nicely named to Frau G. Schäfer in the dome. The helmet has its single Luftschutz decal applied to the side in mint condition. These helmets are very rare, especially a blue one in good condition!

A very nice and minty K98 pouch marked J. De Valk Amsterdam 1942. Very hard to find a Dutch made K98 pouch!

Perfect pre war M31 messkit marked HRE 38 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 99% and would be impossible to upgrade.

A nice set of boxed snow goggles in mint unissued condition. These goggles where used by Gebirgsjäger in snowstorms.

A nice original black butterdish with the late fine thread. It opens in a quarter of a turn like it should and is in great condition without cracks or damages. It is marked on both parts.

A Zeiler 4350 flashlight. A very nice issued bakelite flashlight in a attractive brown bakelite colour.

Nice original Wehrpass to a artillery man in Artillerie Regiment 67. Interesting unit that saw lots of action during the Westfeldzug in 1940; Holland, Belgium and France. A great source for further research!

A nice set of two M36 uniform belt support hook straps. The ends have been made longer at some point. Most probably for a tall soldier! These where found together and are virtually always missing from the garment.

Nice early pattern Luftwaffe breadbag.

Nice original wool backed Luftwaffe breast eagle.

Very nice Heer/Waffen-SS M40 trousers in good, lightly worn condition. The garment has one period repair to the back seat. The garment retains most if not all of its period sewn buttons and would be very nice to complete a mannequin with. The back of the trousers have some mothing, nothing on the front. This is a perfect pair for a mannequin!

Very nice original iron cross second class marked 65 indicating production by Klein und Quenzer.

This is a stunning Soldbuch grouping from 4. Flakersatzabteilung 6. member Heinrich Janssen (born in Düsseldorf), who was among other units in 1942 part of Flak-Regiment Hermann Göring! The Soldbuch grouping also comes with his photo album and dress bayonet.

Unteroffizier Janssen served with several interesting Flak units during the war such as Flak-Regiment Hermann Göring in 1942. The last of those was the II./Flak Regiment 22 which was later renamed II./Flak-Sturm-Regiment 22(mot). He served with the 8. Batterie, which was equipped with 8,8cm Flak guns and was fully motorized. This regiment was subordinate to the Flak-Sturm-Regiment 3 which was part of the III Flakkorps under the command of Pickert. It was deployed between Amiens and Arras in France before the D-Day landings in Normandy. After the landings the unit was sent to Normandy in a hurry arriving a few days later. They where deployed between the Orne and Vire rivers, supporting the ground units and engaging the Allied airforce. And at the end of the Normandy fightings the III Flakkorps provided a significant role in covering the withdrawal of the German forces in the Falaise gap. The unit later retreated to northern France. Unteroffizier Janssen must have seen quite some action in Normandy. The Soldbuch lists the following awards; Verwundetenabzeichenn in Schwarz on 12.9.44 and Eisernez Kreuz 1 and 2 14.9.44. He was severely wounded as he was hospitalized in Hersfeld which is also photographed in the album. A great Soldbuch group to a Normandy veteran who for sure saw heavy action!

The grouping comes with a nice album with 87 photographs with many private shots of 8,8cm flak guns and the famous Sdkfz. 9 Famo halftrack. A great group that would be a great base for further research!
