German helmet

A very nice 1940 dated bayonet. Nicely marked E.u.F. Hörster and dated 1940. The bayonet is matching and with most of its original blueing. Hard to upgrade 1940 dated matching bayonet!

A very nice and minty late war Gebirgsjäger anorak set consisting of a Windbluse and Windhose. These reversible camouflage garments are waterproofed and meant for the Ski- und Gebirgsjäger. These garments are hard to find in good condition, especially the trousers. The jacket has has a few neatly and period done reinforcements on some seams but is otherwise in unissued condition. I’ve added some pictures of these garments in wear. The garment is in a very nice and large size fitting all mannequins. A nice complete uniform in a nice mannequin size that would instantly dress a combat display!

A very rare Gebirgsjäger rucksack waist strap in good used condition. This piece is virtually always missing from all Gebirgsjäger rucksacks and impossible to find as a spare!

Excellent pre war Radom made wz.29 bayonet, frog and equipment belt in very good condition. The bayonet is nicely marked FB RADOM and the Polish eagle with WP. The scabbard is in its original olive paint and the frog is in natural colored leather. The Belt is in unissued condition and retains various ink and date markings. All leather on this set is supple and it would be extremely hard to upgrade.

Rare leather A-frame strap in mint unissued condition. Hard to find spare for any A-frame! The strap is in good supple condition.

A nicely 1937 dated Czech straight E-tool. The complete stock of Czech uniforms and equipment was taken in by the German army at the beginning of the occupation in 1938. A large portion of these shovels was straightly re-issued into the Waffen-SS which up till 1940 could not rely on the issue of equipment through the OKW. Hence you can see these a lot of pictures of the Waffen-SS in the early campaign. These shovels where used and issued within all branches of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS from 1940 onwards. I’ve included a few pictures of these shovels in German use.

A great unusual spade with cover in great condition perfect for a mannequin!

Nice period K98 dress bayonet in good used condition.

A nice and rare Zeltbahn in the late war brick colored plane tree #4 with 5/6 hand screened sides. Nicely maker marked Walter Reichert. The Zeltbahn is in strong used condition with most of its originally sewn buttons and eyelets and would nicely attribute a combat mannequin!

Perfect pre war M31 messkit marked HRE 38 indicating production by Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen. The messkit retains its original factory paint up to 98% and would be near impossible to upgrade.

Rare late war flare ammunition pouch in unissued condition. Nicely marked gaq 43 indicating production by Otto Stephan, Leder- u. Lederwarenfabrik, Muehlhausen. The case is made from green webbing and comes with its original removable sling. The pouch is complete with all internal dividers and wooden reinforcement. Nicely marked on the side. Quite hard to find a better one!

Scarce mint Lightbrown Luftwaffe 37M pistol holster marked cdc 42 indicating production by Kern Klager & Co. Lederwaren, Berlin. Impossible to upgrade mint holster!

Nice original Gasmask and canister named to V. De Smet. The name De Smet is a very typical Belgian name and this indicates this canister was most probably worn by a Belgian volunteer. Scarce!

A nice original Großdeutschland cufftitle in very good tunic removed(!) condition. The cuff title is in good used condition with minor fraying to the so called Russian braid. The cufftitle is unlike many unissued cufftitles; it has clearly seen use and is tunic removed!

A set of 11 original private pictures sized 12x17cm. These pictures are a unique set and are not published anywhere. The interesting detail to these pictures is that they all seem to wear Dutch puttees and breeches. Also the environment is typical of a Dutch/Belgian coastline. The pictures are all nice and sharp with lots of details! These pictures are most probably made during a exercise on the Atlantikwal in The Netherlands. A great set of pictures!

One of the rarest accessories to any Wehrmacht artillery piece, for sure always missing! These lanyards with a pullweight where attached to the breech of the gun to create a safe space between the breech and the gunner. The breech would fly back with a high velocity breaking anything in its path such as limbs. Firing a artillery piece live without one would result in heavy injuries. The weight is nicely marked bzo indicating production by J. F. Kayser, Maschinenfabrik, Nürnberg-O. For sure one of the rarest items I’ve had to offer!

A nice original Y-strap in good used condition marked RBNr. 0/0871/0015 . The Y-strap is a late war type with a late war backstrap with the “wire” hook. The strap is a nice supple and complete example, typical as issued to the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS.

Rudolf Fischer, Lederwarenfabrik, Lengefeld. Hard to upgrade nice example with brown and black leather. The E-tool is nicely marked ekz indicating production by Rich. Henkel, Werkzeugfabrik, Viernau/Thüringen. A rare maker!

A nice and untouched set in good condition. The leather straps are all supple. The carrier is nicely marked OaZ 43.

A very nice original combat boot knife or Nahkampfmesser or officially; Infanteriemesser 42 marked TIGER Solingen. The knife is in good sharp condition and has been issued, and not cleaned or sharpened post war. Perfect combat mannequin accessorie!
