Excellent and textbook pair of period privately purchased riding boots for officers within the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. Excellent pair complete with a pair of DRP marked spanners!

Very nice pre war tall black messkit marked RZM FA.1/34 JSD 34 indicating production by J.Schmalzeder Erben, Dresden. The messkit is in very good unissued condition. This tall, pre war model was most probably made and used by a political organization.

Sometimes these where used by members of the Waffen-SS as well, as some wartime images of the 12 SS Panzerdivision show.

Excellent and typical M35 Heer helmet marked ET64 indicating production by Eisenhuttenwerke Thale. A typical example of a 1940 campaign repaint with the helmet exterior being overpainted in a dull Feldgrau masking the Heer decal. The helmet retains its factory fitted non reinforced size 57 liner and early chinstrap. The helmet retains its paint and decal up to 85%. The helmet is nicely named Nahrstedt in the skirt of the helmet. Very nice helmet with just the right amount of wear that would be very hard to upgrade!

Excellent pre war Austrian M17 helmet reissued in the Wehrmacht Heer. The helmet had a M31 type liner factory fitted and two decals applied. The Heer decal retains up to 99% of its original covering and is the textbook and rare type as made by Gus Abel. The tricolor decal was painted over as per regulations in 1940. The factory fitted liner is a size 59 and the chinstrap is nicely dated 1930. The helmet is a very nice example of a transitional double decal helmet with rare decal in untouched condition.

Excellent world war one Belgian M1915 Adrian helmet in black paint indicating it was issued to the Rijkswacht.

Rare original German reversible winter parka recognition sleeve armbands in unissued condition. These sleeve armbands proved useful on the eastern front where the German and Russian winter camouflage uniforms looked alike and men needed to be able to tell friend from foe in seconds. These armbands can be worn with the dark or red side outwards and are made of screen printed red fabric. Scarce opportunity to buy a original set of recognition armbands!

Excellent strap and rain cover with tan painted studs indicating this strap is meant for use with the 6×30 in tan or bakelite finish. Hard to find with tan studs!

Excellent and mint M36 Heer breast eagle in period envelope marked Hermann Viëtor Wiesbaden. This is most probably a sealed pattern that was handed out to uniform manufacturers as a test sample. Very rare to find!
